M.Sc. in Mathematics - Batch of 2026

M.Sc. Mathematics in IIT Delhi review.

Placements: Some students opt for tech placements and some opt for ed-tech placements. Very few students opted for a Ph.D. Top tech companies like Robust and Accenture visit the college. Edtech companies like Allen, FIITJEE, Bhautiki, and PW visit the college. Approximately 90% of students who are preparing for placements get internships and jobs.

Infrastructure: Hostels are great. In the first year of M.Sc, 2 students should share one room. In the second year, separate rooms are provided. The hostel has facilities like free Wi-Fi, a music room, an activity room, a gym, and a good mess. A variety of food items are available in the mess menu. The food quality is very good.

Faculty: All professors are the best in their fields. They are very helpful and friendly in nature. The course curriculum is also very good. Students have great opportunities to master any field. They always have a fear of semester exams. Semester exams are moderately hard.

Other: I found the data science field very interesting, so I joined this college. I think the course can be made more interesting by adding more project work to the course curriculum. At IIT Delhi, events are held very frequently so that students can hang out with their friends.

M.Sc. in Cognitive Science - Batch of 2025

4.0

Really good infrastructure (classroom).

Placements: 30-40% students get placed. 20 Lacs is the highest package, I am not very sure about the lowest package. Everyone has to do a research internship during the summer break. People usually go to other IITs, etc. Top roles are analyst, UX/UI designer. 40-50% people go for Ph.D.

Infrastructure: Classrooms and library are the best. Lab is not that good, we have EEG, TMR, eye tracker, etc. devices, but the space is less. The lab is small. Hostel facilities are really amazing. There is a lot of variety in food. IIT'D has a hospital, so medical facilities are good. Mental health support system could be strengthened.

Faculty: The course may not be very helpful for making the students industry-ready, but yes, they make you research-ready. It's a research-oriented course. Semester exams are moderately difficult. If one is consistent in classes, they will be able to maintain a CGPA above 8/10. 90-95% students pass the semester exams.

Other: I was interested in human mind and behaviour, so I chose this course. More psychology courses can be added as options. The number of compulsory Linguistics courses can be reduced. More lab sessions can be included in the curriculum. The best thing about the course is its interdisciplinary nature. You get to learn a lot about many different disciplines like psychology, linguistics, AI, etc. Obviously, the fest is one of the best parts of campus life. Connectivity is good. Both academic buildings and hostels have a nearby metro station (within 500m). Merit-cum-Means scholarship is offered to meritorious students. Cobotics offers a paid fellowship to cognitive science students. Half of the students work part-time on their projects.

IITD is one of the great experiences for my educational journey.

Placements: In our last batch, around 14 students were placed. The highest salary package was 14 LPA, and the lowest salary package was 6 LPA. EdTech company was highly interested in our batch. Internships offered were in research field. Course will prepare students more for tech side as compared to teaching side.

Infrastructure: Our department has its own library, which is well-stocked for students. Hostel provides a great environment and good quality. They provide students best quality food with varieties. Medical facilities are free. Our department conducts sports day two times a year.

Faculty: Teachers have great knowledge and they are supportive. All professors have foreign education. Our course provides opportunities for extracurricular aspects. Exams are not that hectic. Pass percentage is 30%.

Other: I chose this course to gain knowledge in mathematics. Faculty have a great alumni network. The course focuses more on research than teaching. This needs to change. Fests conducted here are awesome. It is one of the best in South Asia. They even had Bill Gates visited for the inauguration last time. Scholarships are provided to students from low economical background. We have a great network here for exploring.

Mainly Ed Tech companies are the top recruiters here, including Physics Wallah, Allen, Fiitjee, etc. Both industrial and EdTech companies come, and on average, 65% got selected for internships. Both foreign and domestic internships are available for the students.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good. Since the campus includes much more than academic blocks. There are big 3 playgrounds for sports activities. Lecture halls are pretty big. Wi-Fi is available all over campus, so no issues with that. Labs contain all important equipment which is missing in other colleges such as DU's. Central Library contains all important stuff that one can require. Hostel rooms are decent, but yeah, mess food is not that good, like it's above average. IIT Delhi Hospital is there for any medical emergency, with pharmacy shops and an ambulance.

Faculty: Faculty is very much interactive and helpful. They promote us to engage with the subject so as to get deep knowledge of it. All faculty members are highly qualified, and everyone has a foreign PhD degree. Their teaching quality is very good, to be honest. The course curriculum is somewhat hectic in IITs because of the high-quality faculty set up the semester exams. There are a total of 4 exams in one semester, which includes 2 surprise quizzes and one minor exam and one major exam. Almost everyone passes the exams; there is no such difficulty in passing.

Other: I am pursuing my Master's Degree in Chemistry because of my interest in chemicals and their synthesis and reactions. Although I chose this college because of its research work , which is phenomenal under such high-quality faculty. Some relaxation is needed in the course curriculum, but yes, it is the standard of IIT which makes it an IIT. Fests and events are conducted all over the year. With high number of crowd participation. Campus life is best in IITs. We make connections easily because many clubs and societies are there. The campus is situated in South Delhi, which has good connectivity. Extracurricular activities are promoted along with academics. Which makes it an all-round college or, we can say, a college of dreams.

Satisfied with the good infrastructure and best placement.

Placements: In our course, the percentage of placement is around 20% from the campus and 90% offline because it's not allowed the coaching industry to come to campus. This is why placement is very low in M.Sc. but we can go for software jobs if you want to, the only thing need is your knowledge.

Infrastructure: Best facilities everything is available within the campus. Everything is good but you will learn something better every day in your college. There is the best faculty and best equipment for labs and research and if you want to go to optical fields choose it.

Faculty: The best faculty in India. Teachers are very friendly and extremely knowledgeable but some professors don't know how to teach because they are involved in deep research. One of our courses advanced quantum mechanics or computational quantum mechanics help me a lot for a better understanding of quantum computing.

Other: I chose M.Sc.Physics' best part is the research in M.Sc. We have to do a lot of experiments but there lag of project work in it. When I try to choose a different project professor does not allow me to do some other experiments. Event Rendezvous is one of the best events in India. Connectivity is extremely good and scholarship is mcm which is 1000rs per month.

It is a great place but lockdown makes it less fun.

Placements: In M.Sc physics, 4 students get placed this year. All of them are placed in the IT sector. They get software jobs and nothing related to physics. There is no connection with M.Sc education at IIT. They knew very basic to moderate knowledge of python and coding. The average salary package offered ranges from 10 LPA - 12 LPA.

Infrastructure: It provides clean rooms, tasty and hygienic food, full of butter and ghee and paneer are available. They do not change the menu for months. Rooms are ventilated, and fast Wi-Fi is enabled 24X7. Washing machines are available free of cost. All M.Sc students get a hostel. Hostel and mess are expensive. Almost Rs 35,000 per semester is the fee structure. The initial refundable charges are Rs 15,000, and Rs 8,000 extra for one-time admission to the hostel.

Faculty: Teachers are not good in this college. Their focus is on exams rather than education. Exams are moderate. Scoring more than 8 CGPA is easy. But the semester is for only 3-3.5 months, and students have to study 4-5 courses. Laboratories and projects make everything very difficult.

Other: There is good research going on in the physics department.

Review of IIT Delhi - Indian Institute of Technology.

Placements: The placements are very less for Masters in the chemistry course due to very highly skilled and deserving candidates of B.Tech compared to us. Placements are provided for students with skills to compete with engineers. Apart from IT, there are courses like data science to help you get placed easily. 20-30% of students got placed. The highest package offered was 12 LPA, the lowest package was 6 LPA, and the average package is 8 LPA. Companies offer data analytics roles. It is a two-year course, so there is no internships for Masters students.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure are the best in IIT Delhi. The department of chemistry has a lot of distinguished professors. One can use facilities to get the maximum efficiency. Wi-Fi is easily accessible. Common channel Wi-Fi and the department of chemistry Wi-Fi are available. Labs are well-equipped. The quality of food is good. Medical facilities are good as we have an IIT hospital and an ambulance to reach AIIMS Safdarjung Hospital easily. Sports games facilities are the best here.

Faculty: The teaching quality is excellent. Students get research-oriented environment. The course curriculum is designed to make students pursue PhD in future. Semester exams are comparatively difficult and more frequent as compared to other universities. But the course is well developed, and the education provided is good.

Other: Our batch has 65 students, and students join here after clearing IIT JAM with tough competition from many students. I love chemistry and wanted to pursue my PhD in this subject, and for research-oriented chemistry, I chose IIT Delhi. I love to explore more of IIT Delhi.
