WHY RECRUIT US?

The M.Sc. (Integrated) programme in Mathematics and Scientific Computing is and excellent inter-disciplinary endeavor pioneered by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. With admissions via the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), this programme envisions to produce mathematicians well-versed with the modern computational tools and techniques. The rigor of pure mathematics and computationally intense courses in applied mathematics coupled with the most flexible elective driven structure in the institute gives the student an ample opportunity to hone his skills in varied fields of interest ranging from data analytics, computational mathematics, optimization, parallel computing to statistics, finance and so on. Along with the central institute facilities, the department offers a well stocked departmental library, its own computer center and a parallel computing facility. The M.Sc. Integrated students are also exposed to mathematical software packages such as MATLAB, SAS, Mathematica and so on. Department has its own well equipped seminar room, wherein frequent seminars, lecture series and discussion sessions on varied mathematical topics are organised on a weekly basis by the Stamatics (a student body that organizes extra curricular activities throughout year) group. These sessions, which include talks by professors from other universities, give the students and faculty a platform to interact and share their ideas in their respective research area.

Placement Guide
Contacts Faculty Advisor:

Over the summers, students undertake internships, either in the industry or in leading academic institutions. This takes education outside the classroom, into the offices of corporate or the rooms of the research labs.. With a strong focus on undergraduate research, specially via M.Sc. Project, the students are encouraged to tackle theoretical as well as industrial problems transforming them into motivated individuals who can be great assets for any organization, be it educational, R&D, software or finance
