Maths Spl

Mathematics as a career choice has been picking up among the students of India since the last couple of years. But sadly, very few students are aware fully of the scope they have to study in India. Most go for the local colleges and Universities in their neighbourhood. In this article we shall discuss the avenues that are open to students after they pass their 12th class in India. India has a rich tradition in math since time immemorial, and this has led to the establishments of various centres of learning in math and related sciences. In the present day too, there are various institutes offering math education and research of world repute in India. Typically the road to an education in math starts after passing the 12th class in India. A student then has the opportunity to either opt for a B.Sc. Degree or an Integrated M.Sc. Degree or a BS degree or an Integrated MS degree. After a Masters degree, a student can pursue a Ph.D. The best places in India to get a Ph.D. in math are TIFR, IMSc and HRI. Normally these institutes (except TIFR which has its own exam) accept students who have cleared either NBHM or the CSIR JRF exam followed by an interview. Students who have been awarded INSPIRE Fellowships by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), GoI may also be called for interviews at these institutes. Apart from these, CMI, ISI, IISc, IISERs and NISER also has a very highly ranked Ph.D. programme. Students studying at all the above institutes are paid fellowships of Rs.5000 for the Bachelors students (provided they clear a certain threshold percentage in their 12th boards exams), Rs.5000-Rs.7000 to the Masters Students by the DST and around Rs.12000-Rs.18000 for the Ph.D. students. In CMI Ph.D. students are paid Rs. 26000-28000 for Ph.D. and Rs. 9000 for M.Sc. But recent hike in fellowship for Ph.D. students mean that they are paid as high as Rs. 25000 onwards. Thanks!
