Undergraduate Programme
For Women & Men
Duration: 4 Years
Mathematics provides a language and tools for understanding both the physical world around us and the abstract world within us. It encompasses a broad spectrum of fields and applications, many of which students will study during the bachelor’s programme at SSSIHL.
The programme is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in mathematical theory and practical problem-solving skills, covering a wide range of topics. These include calculus, linear algebra, abstract algebra, complex analysis, and numerical analysis, as well as software laboratory courses in Python programming, C programming, and data structures in C.
The programme emphasizes analytical thinking and logical reasoning. It guides students into advanced areas such as abstract algebra and real analysis, fostering a deeper understanding of mathematical structures.
In the first year (Semesters 1 and 2), students are offered courses in Physics and Chemistry alongside Mathematics courses. The curriculum often incorporates real-world applications, enabling students to apply mathematical concepts to industry-specific challenges.
In Year 4, students who achieve a CGPA of 7.5 or higher at the end of the 6th semester are eligible to undertake a research project in their chosen area of specialisation. This research endeavour gives students the opportunity to delve deeper into a specific topic within their field of study, fostering the development of the critical research skills essential for academic and professional growth.
Overall, the B.S. in Mathematics programme equips students with the knowledge and skills to appreciate the elegance of mathematics and tackle complex challenges in both theoretical and applied contexts.
It provides graduates with an excellent foundation for a career in government or industry (e.g., teaching, Finance and Management, Actuarial Sciences, IT, Data Analysis, etc.) and a particularly strong foundation for advanced study in science, engineering, and finance.
Depending on their performance, students can also continue their studies at SSSIHL and pursue the M.Sc. in Mathematics. They can also take national eligibility tests such as CSIR-NET, JEST, NBHM, etc.
Specialization
In Years 3 and 4 (Semesters 5-8), students will choose three electives (see the list of Courses) to pursue a specialization in either one of the following streams:
- Applied Mathematics
- Artificial Intelligence
- Industrial Mathematics
- Theoretical Computer Science
- Mathematical Biology
- Actuarial Science
MINOR
Additionally, students can pursue a minor degree in one of the following subjects:
- Data Science
- Computer Science
- Actuarial Science
- Physics
- Chemistry
These will be undertaken in Years 2 and 3 (Semesters 3 to 6) and will carry a total of 16 credits.
The student then gets awarded a minor degree in that subject.
B.S. (Hons.) in Mathematics
For students who complete a 4-year (8-semester) programme of study.
B.S. (Hons. with Research) with Mathematics
For students who secure a CGPA of 7.5 or more after the first six semesters (3 years of study) and opt to pursue research during the fourth year.
Entry & Exit options as per NEP 2020 Policy.
