Postgraduate Programme
For Women and Men

Duration: 2 Years
The M.Sc. in Mathematics Programme provides a broad-based knowledge of mathematics to students through core courses that cover the areas of Analysis, Algebra, Geometry, Differential Equations, Probability & Statistics, Operations Research, etc. The syllabus also provides one software laboratory course in each of the four semesters, which will enable hands-on experience with various programming languages, software packages and in working in different platforms. In order to develop a deep understanding and skill in chosen areas, the programme provides different streams of electives.
- Students have an option to specialize in Computer Science or Actuarial Science
- 10+2 years of schooling and 3 years of university (total 15 years) as recognized by SSSIHL
- Either passed or appeared for Final exams at the Bachelor’s degree level before the Admissions Test/li>
- Bachelor’s degree: 50% or more (English) and 60% or more (Aggregate incl. English) or CGPA aggregate of 6 or more
(10-point scale) and 5 or more (10-point scale) in English. If not appeared for Bachelor’s degree final exams, aggregate marks in all the preceding Years/Semesters put together marks will be considered - Only candidates with a B.Sc. in Mathematics or other B.Sc. programmes (M/P/C or M/E/S or M/P/CS) with a major/specialization in Mathematics are eligible to apply
