3. INTRODUCTION:
 Mathematics is the science that deals with the logic of
shape, quantity and arrangement. Math is all around
us, in everything we do. It is the building block for
everything in our daily lives, including mobile
devices, computers, software, architecture (ancient
and modern), art, money, engineering and even sports.
 Due to this, Mathematics opens up lots of carreer
opportunities in both govt as well as private sectors.

4. Section1: Higher studies in Mathematics
PG COURSES
If you are highly interested in exploring this subject then
PG is a very good option after your BSc mathematics.
There are various PG level courses in mathematics as
following
1)MSc(Mathematics)
1.It is a two year course in which you learn
advanced topics in pure mathematics(real
topology).
2.It is offered in almost all the local
3.Further various institutes like IIT’s, NIT’s,
offers this course.

5. 2)MSc(Applied Mathematics)
1.It is a two year course in which you have to learn about
some applied part of mathematics that is used in computing,
engineering, science.
2.It is offered in very few local universities.
3.Further various institutes like IIT’s, NIT’s offers this course.
3)MSc(statistics)
1.It is a two year course in which you have to learn about
the detailed statistics part.
2.It is also offered in many universities
3.Further various institutes like IIT’s, NIT’s, ISI, CMIoffers
this course.

6. 4) MSc(Industrial Mathematics with computer
applications)
1.It is a full three years course in which to have
industrial applications of mathematics using
knowledge/skills.
2.It is a practical course in which you have to
intership program of industrial training/project.
3.Very few universities/ institutes offer this
SPPU and some NIT’s, IIT’s, etc.

7. 5)INTEGRATED MSc in Mathematics
1.It is a 5 yrs full time course and in which they
degree MSc-Phd .
2.It is totally research based program specially
those are highly interested in exploring this
3.Only specials institutes offers this course
SOME IIT’s and NIT’s.

8. MODE OF ADMISSIONS
 In the local universities, the admissions to the
given on the basis of you graduation scores.
 But for the PG courses in IIt’s, NIT’s, IISER,
etc. , one need to clear their respective
IIT-JAM, TIFR, SPPU, CMI, etc.These exams are
india level exams so you need prepare well for
and the syllabus mostly graduate level and
entrances.

9. JOB OPPORTUNITIES
TEACHING FIELD
 Teaching is one the fastest growing career which
includes from a primary teacher to professors in both
private as well as govt schools convents, and colleges.
 It requires the deep knowledge of the subject you are

2.High school teacher BSc, BEd,TET
3.Lecturer BSc, MSc, BEd
4.Professor BSc, MSc, Net/set/Phd

10. RESEARCH FIELDS:
 If you are still interested in mathematics and want to
do research then you can join Phd programmes after
your PG completion, one needs to be very dedicated
for any research course.
 After Phd you can join various research organizations
like IISc,TIFR, IISER as a scientist level posts.

11. Section2: Other career fields that requires knowledge of
mathematics
 There are lots of others career options that requires the
knowledge and skills of mathematical understanding in both
govt as well as private sectors.
GOVT SECTORS
1)BANKING, INSURANCE, RAILWAYS
 Overs the years banking, insurance , railways sectors are the
most growing sectors and there are lots of job
opportunuities for a graduate student
 The various posts in these areas are filled on the basis of the
competitive exams like IBPS, PO, AIA,RAILWAYS,etc.
 These competitive exams includes nealy 30-40 % portion of
the quantitative aptitude and reasoning which requires the
mathematical skills

12.  These competitive exams includes nealy 30-40 %
portion of the quantitative aptitude and reasoning
which requires the mathematical skills. So being a
mathematics student it’s a very big advantage to you
because lots of students from arts, medical, feilds
needs to prepare separately for this .
2)MBA
 Master of Business administration course MBA in
finance is another very good option for the maths
graduates.
 For admission to this course you need to clear the
entrance exam of CAT, which involves lots of
quantitative aptitude part.

13.  After completion of this course you can apply for Jobs
in banking, airports, both govt and private companies.
3)DRDO, BARC, ISRO
These research organization also hire maths graduates
for the various posts such as technician, lab attendant,

14. PRIVATE SECTORS
1)SOFTWARE COMPANIES:If you have a BSc maths
degree along with computer science or Msc in
mathematical computing then various software
companies likeTCS,WIPRO hire you for various like as a
software developer, general manager,etc
2)ACTURIAL: An actuary is a business professional that
measures and manages financial risks and a uncertainty.
 This career is specially for the students who is very
interested in mathematics, accounting and statistics.
 Though it is very rarely known career but because of
fastest growing businesses, the importance of an
actuary profession has getting more and more
importance.

15.  Though it is very rarely known career but because of
fastest growing businesses, the importance of an
