The Department of Mathematics offers a doctoral degree in Mathematics with six-month rigorous course-work. The faculty members provide research guidance in the recent and emerging areas of all broad areas of Mathematics. Ph.D. programme in Mathematics equips the candidate with comprehensive knowledge, amplifying their analytical, critical thinking and research skills.

The periodic research scholar seminars, paper presentations, conferences and workshops enable the research scholars to interact with eminent scientists and mathematicians from India and abroad. The duration of the programme is about three to five years.

Structure of the Programme

The courses MATH21-R01 Research Methodology and MATH21-R02 Research and Publication Ethics are compulsory. Apart from this, a research scholar is required to study any of the three courses from the nine courses MATH21-R03 to MATH21-R11. Total credits of the coursework is 16.
