If you are GATE/ NET qualified then eligible for stipends (25000/ month) which is a good amount. Otherwise no stipends for scholars. other stationary amount yo have to bear. after completion of PhD you can apply for projects and earn monthly.

Life of campus is good.It has students from various regions of India and also from countries like Africa ,Niziria etc. Most of students of the CUP are from Kerala and South .It has a good library wher you can stay upto midnight.

Course curriculum overview.

Actually I like mathematics from my childhood itself. That's why I chose Mathematics in UG. And also I like teaching profession. So I would like to complete PhD. My guide help me lot for my research. And also other faculties of my department are also so supportive and motivating for my research.

Placement Experience

Usually at the final semester students get the opportunities for the placement. Lot of schools and companies around Trichy came here for the interview. Capgemini, SRV higher secondary school from samayapuram and AKT school from kallakurichi are the most visited schools for our campus.

The infrastructure and campus are the main attraction to many students and PhD scholars. NIT Rourkela has also actively working placement Cell. 3 students got 45 lakh package and 9 students got 43 lakh package during this pandemic year. The statistic for placement shows that its placement percentage is going to increase in upcoming days.

I have joined in this course because I want to do research in Optimization.Faculties are highly motivated towards research. Most of the Faculties have done their PhD in Top IITs and Teaching standard is upto the mark. There are two term. One is mid semi and another is End term. We have to solve the assignment regularly to perform well in the exam and exam paper are mostly moderate to difficult level.

The revolutionary mathematics research institute

Though I was doing my Master's in mathematics I had to focus more on the TIFR GS entrance exam to pursue my Ph.D. in Mathematics. Not only that, after I qualified the exam with good ranking, but only 1.5 % of top merit list students were being considered! It was such a critical situation, yet eventually, I was noticed and called for the interview that went quite well.

TIFR is financed by the Department of Atomic Energy of Government of India. A minimal (or no) fee is charged for the course, in fact, an effective amount as accommodation is given to the students depending on the course they choose.

Pursuing PhD mathematics

I want to take a doctoral degree in mathematics because I always have a huge interest in mathematics so that's the reason I opt that course. Chandigarh university provided a huge area of research so that reason i choose Chandigarh university. Firstly fill the registration forms for the entrance test then give entrance test.

College Events

Chandigarh university celebrates every festival of all religions and they organize various events eveRy month like DJ night, tech events, fresher party, farewell parties also hostels night. Bollywood and Hollywood celebrities are visiting the campus for promotion of their movies.

IIT Patna PhD in mathematics

After doing PhD we can apply for assistant professor. IIT Patna provide stipend and fellowship by mhrd, csir, ugc, dst, nbhm, pmrf e. t. c. I am a CSIR fellow whuch give fellowship very late but IIT Patna provide some help if we needed money which you can return after getting money.

PhD is higer degree and needed for to be a professor. We have to do 5 courses from elective including English literature. After that we have labs for research and computational work. We are free to choose our course paper so it reduces our complications for unwanted subjects.

My college experience

An annual book/contingency grant of Rs. 32,000 and support for research-related domestic and international travel is available to students. Junior Research Fellowships are awarded to all selected PhD students. These fellowships include a monthly stipend ranging from Rs. 25,000/- to Rs. 28,000/-, hostel accommodation (or a house rent allowance) and medical benefits.

Research Scholars' Day (popularly known as RSD) is an annual event celebrated by the research scholars of IIT Patna. In this programme, the students are present there research paper and many of famous scientists are invited in this program.

My Doctoral College

'Anwesha', is IIT Patna’s annual 3-day techno-cultural festival organised by the student community. Indian Institute of technology Patna each year celebrates its Technical Fest, christened as ''CELESTA'. This is a great beginning, which strives to inculcate interest in young minds to pursue technology and make it their passion. It was started in 2008 and since then it has gained unmatched popularity. It is a cultural celebration held around 'Diwali'. Beautiful decoration through lights added with fantastic cultural performances makes IIT Patna really reverberate with joy during the ‘Reverberance’. The Students' Gymkhana Building, situated in the IIT Patna hostel compound, has a synthetic badminton court and a gymnasium. In addition, the students have access to a basketball court, a volleyball court, table tennis tables and a football-cum-cricket ground within the transit campus. State-of-the-art facilities for all sports are planned at IIT Patna’s main campus in Bihita. We have good gender ration in campus. There is no such problems.

All students of the Indian Institutes of Technology Patna (IITP) whose annual family income is less than Rs.9 lakh will be eligible for interest-free education loans for a period of five years, the human resource development ministry said on Thursday. Earlier, the interest subvention scheme was for students whose annual family income was Rs.4.5 lakh.

Wastage of time and life

Worst among all the IITs, characterless, rude, unethical, all the works to be performed by teaching assistants which are research scholars. Institute lacks faculty and research scholars have to perform all the academic tasks of guide as well as teaching supervisor.

Need to fulfill the required CGPI in a year and then a comprehensive examination will be held. After successful completion of comprehensive exam including written test and presentation of the work done in past, finally registered as a Ph D. student.

Jadavpur University is the great

Fee structure and facilities.

The fee structure is very low in this university so that any poor student can effort their expenses. In addition, there are few scholarships available in this university like Merit cum means fellowship.

Internships Opportunities

Engineering faculty of this university offers various internship in India as well as abroad also. During the internship, some stipend was offered by the various companies/institute.

Why Study Mathematics in the UK

There are many reasons why someone might want to study Mathematics at a university in the UK . Here are just a few:

• Engaging in an Agriculture PhD programme in the UK provides an opportunity to contribute to globally recognised research that is addressing some of the most pressing agricultural challenges, from food security to climate change mitigation.
• The UK is at the forefront of agricultural technology (Agritech), offering PhD students exposure to innovative approaches, cutting-edge technologies, and sustainable farming practices which are redefining modern agriculture.
• Many UK institutions offer well-funded research programmes in partnership with industry leaders or government bodies focused on advancing agricultural sciences and practices.
• Study under esteemed academics who provide expert supervision; their mentorship will help guide groundbreaking doctoral research while contributing extensively to your professional development.

The Best Universities for Mathematics in the UK

The following tables give the 10 top universities in the UK for Mathematics , according to global and local university rankings. It can show you which UK universities are amongst the best in the world - and help you compare institutions on an international level.

This information is based on the latest rankings tables, researched and published by Times Higher Education , QS and Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) .

Each ranking system uses its own methodology, with different factors having more or less influence on a university's result.

Our guide has more information on how to use international rankings to decide on the best research universities for PhD study .

What should I know about the Times Higher Education rankings?

The Times Higher Education rankings are strong in academic focus and diverse teaching metrics, but do not include employer-specific metrics. Additionally, the rankings may not include all specialist institutions.

What should I know about the QS rankings?

The QS World University Rankings are designed to meet the needs of prospective students, with more weight given to student-centric metrics such as staff/student ratio, international recruitment and employer opinion. The rankings are balanced between qualitative and quantitative data, but give less weight to research than some other rankings.

What should I know about the ARWU rankings?

The ARWU rankings reflect the presence of elite academics and the future academic success of graduates. However, they do not directly assess the quality of education at a university or take into account other aspects of university performance.
