Heads Up: Limited Verified Data
Most of these stats carry a low confidence score (40%). Also, the NIRF Rank 23 is for Law, not Science. Hit the official site to verify current details before applying.
The verdict
Worth considering
At just ₹40k total fees, this is one of the most affordable M.Sc. Math programs around. The curriculum is genuinely solid for pure math and research, and hostel facilities are available. But campus placement is only 30% with an average CTC of ₹3 LPA, so it suits students eyeing teaching, banking, SSC/UPSC prep, or PhD paths rather than high-paying corporate tech roles. Treat this as a 'consider' because verified placement data is thin.
