Currently the Department offers the following post-graduate (PG) programmes:

(i) BS (Mathematics and Scientific Computing),

(ii) BS (Statistics and Data Science),

(iii) M.Sc. (Mathematics),

(iv) M.Sc. (Statistics) and

(v) Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)

The Department welcomes motivated and enthusiastic students of diverse backgrounds to apply for admissions into these programmes. Advertisements for PG admissions are made twice a year, typically in February and September and applications can be made via online admission portal. The details of admissions can be found on https://www.iitk.ac.in/doaa/pgadmission.htm or https://www.iitk.ac.in/doaa/

Note: UGPs are NOT mandatory. However, depending on the consent of supervisor(s), a student may take up to 3 UGPs of 09 credits each against DE/OE (UGP will be counted as OE if taken outside the department as consented by the DUGC) requirements. A student can also take a 4th UGP, that however will NOT be counted towards fulfilling the graduation requirements.
