B.Sc Mathematics

Hi,
First of all, I would make it very clear that there is no quota as such for any stream or student for UPSC exam. The only reservations available are with regard to general regulations, as per constitution. Next is up to you. You may take any stream of your choice. What you need to focus is to know the subject better to keep it as an optional paper. For that purpose, even Maths is a good option. You may go ahead with Maths, and keep it as optional subject.

It follows your high school mathematics syllabus.

Here are some of the important subjects present in B.Sc. Mathematics course:
Calculus
Probability
Statistics
Algebra
Real Analysis
Communication Skills
Linear Differential Equations
Group Theory
Matrices
Analytical Geometry
Fourier Analysis
Metric Space
Ring Theory
Computer Application
Complex Analysis
Linear Algebra
Numerical Methods.

You should master mathematics of 11th and 12th standard first and then take admission in a good college.

You should crack the entrance exam. Then, apply for Ph.D.

Yes, sure. For B.Sc mathematics, one must have PCM as a main stream and any one other optional subject. The candidate should have qualified the 12 exam with 60% minimum to be eligible for the admission. Now, many colleges take admission direct in the basis of 12 or few colleges take admission by the entrance exam they conduct.

Can you please tell me the percentage of 12th?

B.Sc Honors is designed with detail course. But if you want a more balanced and multi-disciplinary approach, it is better to pursue a B.Sc. General course for under-graduate studies. So one whose interest is in studying in details (here in case of mathematics) go for B.Sc. Honors. In B.Sc. Honors makes your foundation more strong especially in mathematics. But if one wants to be balance in all respective subject then he or she goes for B.Sc. General. For any further query, please feel free to ask.
