How is mathematics at SVNIT?
Mathematics at SVNIT is not great. According to my sister studying there, the teaching way is not good.
- In the first year, you will only be given a cookie-cutter solution instead of making you understand why a particular idea works or where it can be applied.
- In the fourth semester, your time will be wasted by deriving basic three theorems, each four pages long. You would be expected to do rote learning.
- Even though Fourier Analysis is the crux of all modern technology. Data analysis techniques are parallel to PCA in many ways. Not more than a week is dedicated to it.
- Former students were advised to buy a book by Kachot which is full of errors and to just rote learn all the questions and get full points on the exams.
- A better book by B. S. Grewal can help you to understand concepts like ODEs and the Taylor Expansion.
- The test just includes the derivations of the three theorems. If you had not memorized the theorems, in no way, the paper could be completed on time.
The Mathematics Department is very disappointing. The lecturers do not teach well and they barely understand the material themselves. They are also quite lazy about their responsibilities towards their students.
Which college is better for Maths (hons) Deen Dayal Upadhyaya or Sri Venkateswara College?
Among Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College (DDUC) or Sri Venkateswara College (SVC) it will be better if you go for SVC.
Here are some reasons:
- SVC is located in the South campus and is considered one of the best colleges under DU.
- DDUC is a much newer establishment and has not yet reached SVCs level of popularity.
- SVC is also known for its brand which gives an upper hand during off campus placements.
- The Mathematics department in SVC is the best. DDUC is not even close to its standard.
- SVC has a well experienced and respected faculty.
- The crowd at SVC is also very competitive, which maintains a proper educational atmosphere in the campus.
| Categories | DDUC | SVC |
| Course Fee | INR 45,150 | INR 36,348 |
| Average CTC | 4-6 LPA | 2.5-5 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | DE Shaw, Byju’s, etc. | KPMG, Deloitte, EY, etc. |
Therefore, it is suggested you go for SVC as it will provide you with better exposure and opportunities.
Is mathematics in IISc Bangalore at par with CMI?
CMI offers a more Mathematics oriented program. For pure Mathematics, it is a better option.
- CMI curriculum has Maths/CS, and Maths/Physics options. At IISc first three semesters are common. During these semesters you will be studying Engineering, Material Science, EVS, Humanities, etc.
- CMI Maths syllabus is more theory-oriented. You will get to learn abstract concepts. IISc follows a more balanced curriculum. During the first three years, you will need to attend both theory and lab classes.
CMI Maths framework and teaching methodology are more suited for students who are genuinely interested in Mathematics.

Which is the best option: CS BITS Goa, DTU maths and computing and CS at PEC Chandigarh?
Among the above three, CS at BITS Goa is the best institute to opt for. Agreeing with a few of my friends studying there, I can say that it provides better placements and wider industry exposure.
BITS Goa offers the best curriculum among the three, with no reservation, and offering flexible courses. Through the course, the faculty helps in all sorts of projects and thesis related works. Thought-provoking ideas are extremely encouraged.
The table below states the basic comparison among the above three branches in the specified institutes -

Placements (Winning Institute- BITS Goa)
The placement training in BITS Goa is extremely essential and productive. There is an established coding culture in CS, which makes students excel in open source coding more than DTU and PEC students.
- Placement Percentage - 100%
- Average CTC - 22 LPA in CS
- Highest CTC - 50-60 LPA
The campus culture of BITS Goa is among the top 10 colleges in India. Technical, cultural, and sports fests held here are among the best in the country. BITS Goa is a private college and a newer establishment having the best campus and infrastructure with all the necessary amenities.
What is the best DTU maths and computing or NSIT instrumentation?
The institutes NSIT as well as DTU both are tier 1 colleges and among the best engineering colleges of India. Hence, it is quite difficult to say which one is best among MCE at DTU and ICE at NSIT. ICE branch provides opportunities to students in both Hardware and Software whereas MCE is more aligned towards software industries. The students from MCE have ample opportunities in either finance or pure mathematics and programming. The packages that the students get at MCE in DTU is similar to that of ICE at NSIT.
Instrumentation and Control Engineering in NSIT is an older branch than Mathematics and Computing Engineering in DTU. As far as placement of these branches is concerned almost all Tech companies allow both ICE and MCE students to take part in their internship and placement test with a required percentage criteria but that depends upon company to company.
Placement at NSIT is quite good, more than 100 companies visit the campus for placement drive. The average salary offered is around 7-8 LPA. The 2019 placement highlights for DTU show a total of 70 students got placed from the MCE department, whereas the no of offers received was 93. The highest CTC offered to the students of this branch was around 39 LPA.
The coding environment in DTU is great. The co-curricular activities of both the colleges are brilliant as a large no of societies are available for students to pursue their interests and enhance their skills. So, choose the institute based on your subject of choice.
What is better for mathematics and computing, IIT Kanpur vs IIT Kharagpur vs IIT Guwahati vs IIT BHU?
If you are interested in CSE but choosing Mathematics and Computing just for the sake of overlapping courses, then trust me you are making the wrong decision. I have seen many CSE branch seekers taking Mathematics and Computer to land CSE-related jobs. Let me tell you frankly, Mathematics and Computing are no substitutes for Computer Science.
If you want to get a deeper understanding of this, go through the Syllabus of Mathematics. You will find most courses that are theoretical, abstract, and purely mathematical and very few courses related to Computer Science. Mathematics at IITs is not everyone’s cup of tea. It is extremely tough, unlike JEE Math.
However, if you are passionate about Mathematics and want to pursue a research career in it, go for it. The courses might include lengthy proofs of Mathematical Induction and set and relation theory. Discuss the curriculum once with students of Mathematics at IIT and then make the final decision. Usually, the coursework in Mathematics and Computing is the same for all the IIT Branches.
To sum it up, if you are planning to take Mathematics and Computers just for the CSE courses, please make a better decision. My best advice would be to go for CSE in a better engineering college like IIT Hyderabad or Indore.

Is Mathematics required for MCA admission in Jadavpur University?
Yes, you can get admission to MCA in Jadavpur University even if you have not studied Mathematics in class 12 provided that you have completed BCA. Subsequently, the requirements for MCA are
- The candidate must have studied Mathematics in class 12
Or
- The candidate must have completed the BCA
BCA curriculum includes Maths based electives and therefore does not make it necessary to have studied Mathematics in class 12. Candidates coming from BSc or BCom must have studied mathematics necessarily in class 12.
One major advantage of doing an MCA after BCA is that you get to choose between a 2-year MCA and a 3-year MCA. which is also known as literal entry specially for the students who are coming from Computer Science based graduation.
To be on the safer side, you can again give exams by filling out the NIOS form (National institute of open schooling) and can give exams for mathematics. In case your Bachelor subjects are not considered this Certificate will come to use.
Is honours in maths necessary for admission in the MSC (financial mathematics) from MSU Baroda?
Yes, in fact Bachelors is necessary for any Masters course. So in order to get admission in MSc Financial Mathematics, you will have to complete Bachelors in Financial Mathematics first.
Now coming to your question, Honors in Margs is necessary for admission in MSc Financial Mathematics, I don't think so because I have many friends who are pursuing MSc in Financial Mathematics despites graduating from universities that don’t even offer Honors in Maths. I think all you need is a graduation in Maths.
For detailed information look up on the official website of MSU or contact an alumni.
