Admission Requirements in M.Sc.(Master of Science) in Mathematics

Evaluation Method

For each 100 marks subject the department conducts external assessment equal to 80 marks and internal assessment equal to 20 marks. To pass the subject, the students must acquire minimum marks of 32(out of 80) in external board assessment and an 8(out of 20) in the external assessment. The internal mark is determined by your professor on the basis of completed assignments, tests, attendance, class performance and participation.

For the external exam, you have to appear exams and solve the given question set. The total number of questions in a set is 10 and you can choose to solve 4 of them from “or” part. But the examinee must attempt to solve all the questions including the subjective ones which include implying theorems, proving statements from a conceptualized viewpoint.
