Mathematics is the foundation of this universe. Mathematics has been established as a universal ingredient in the understanding of the world and is the language used in conveying this understanding. Now that we have entered the 21st century, higher mathematics is not just a tool for physical scientists and engineers but it is also of crucial importance to business, economics, and even the social sciences.
The total time period for Masters in Science in Mathematics or MSc in Mathematics is 2 yr. The total marks allotted to 1st and 2nd year in part I and Part II is 500 each. Department has introduced thesis writing for 2nd yr students as an optional subject from academic year 064/065 (007/008) and sixteen students with thesis work have completed their degree. Around 200 students are admitted in the part 1 every year. Currently, the department has more than 300 students including both parts. Seminars and conferences in Mathematics are regular feature of the department.

Evaluation Method
For each 100 marks subject the department conducts external and internal assessment equal to 80 and 20 marks respectively.
