M.Sc. in Mathematics - Batch of 2024

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

It is the best University for M.Sc. in Mathematics Course.

Placements: Almost every student was admitted to a class. 13 LPA is the average salary, while 26 LPA is the highest. A minimum salary of 5 LPA is required. ICICI Bank, American Express, and JP Morgan, among other reputed recruitment firms, visited our campus and offered top jobs like Quantitative Analyst, Actuary, etc. Almost 83 percent of students are able to find employment.

Infrastructure: Particularly in terms of diversity, the infrastructure is far from sufficient. The doors at our college are still improperly sized and poorly maintained. The campus area is lovely, but not enough people use it. The majority of the campus is surrounded by trees, giving it the appearance of a woodland environment. The structures are outdated and require maintenance.

Faculty: Our teachers are qualified and knowledgeable. But to be honest, most students don’t want to learn in class; instead, they prefer YouTube to learn as they test or use it. Our classes are self-paced, and the workshops offered are highly commendable. Most students are ready to work. Average semester tests have some disadvantage. The cut-off percentage in semester exams is around 80–85 percent.

4Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

Review of Central University of Kerala.

Placements: I am part of the first batch of integrated B.A. B.Ed. students at Central University of Kerala. Currently, the second batch is also here. The NTA conducts the NCET exam, and the scorecard has been published. This program requires dual degree students to have above-average marks. From the applicants, students with higher marks and those from EWS and other reserved categories are selected for admission. Regarding the package, the semester fee varies for each student. The total four-year fee is approximately 2 lakhs. For MBA and M.Com, which are business courses, campus interviews and placements are available.

Infrastructure: The college has a dedicated department building and separate classrooms with good infrastructure. There is a good library with books related to various subjects. Itep students have their hostel named Kabani and a common mess for boys and girls separately. The mess is managed by a private company that provides average-quality food. The sports meet is called Urja, and other games are also organized.

Faculty: All teachers hold Ph.D. degrees and are experienced. They are permanent faculty members. The course curriculum is relevant and includes extensive knowledge, seminars, assignments, learner-centric activities, and student internship programs. Semester exams are of average difficulty, with questions prepared and evaluated by our own teachers. Grades are assigned based on overall student performance, including seminars, assignments, and written exams. A minimum of 50% is required to pass.

Other: I chose this course because it offers a dual degree within four years, and the certificate has more value than those from typical government colleges. This course builds students' confidence and helps develop leadership qualities. There are only 150 students per batch. Other campus programs are very nice.
