How hard is it to get admission into Pondicherry University for an MSc in statistics?

RV
Rhea Vij Posted On : September 29th, 2021
M.Sc Statistics, Pondicherry University (2018)

Actually, it is quite the contrary. It is quite easy to convert to Pondicherry University even if you are a little serious about your studies. 

  • The university conducts its own entrance test every year. You need to clear the test to get admission here.
  • For the test, you need to be moderately prepared (depending on the level of the student) and practice the last 4-5 years of the question paper. The level is easy
  • Most people aim for the IITs, IISc, and ISI Kolkata before joining this university if they do not get a chance there. You can get an idea of the level of the university.

The course is good with excellent faculty and a good study environment, more freedom and no academic or social pressures. So it would be a wise decision to join here if you do not get the top colleges.

How good is Pondicherry University for MSc in Mathematics?

AP
Ajita Pathak Posted On : September 28th, 2021
M.Sc in Mathematics at Pondicherry University (PU) (2021)

I have a few friends from the Mathematics department of Pondicherry University. Here is what they had to say about the department. 

The Mathematics block is known as the Ramanujan School of Mathematical Sciences. 

The school aims to impart quality academics to students in different sections of Mathematics and Statistics, through different post-graduate study programs in Mathematics and Statistics. 

  • These two departments of the school have an extremely qualified faculty, alongside a well-established infrastructure with the inclusion of decent laboratories. The institute also has excellent computing facilities. 
  • The research activity that’s being carried out as of now is in various emerging disciplines.
  • Students, in addition, also secure placements in several MNCs. 

This is everything that you should be aware of about Pondicherry University. Hope this helps answer your question.

Should I join IISC or JNCASR for integrated MSC-PHD in biology?

SA
Seenu Arora Posted On : November 5th, 2022
Int. Ph.D. in Genetics and Molecular Biology, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research.

Both are excellent institutions, but the experience will differ between the two. Whereas IISc is much larger and has a more vibrant student community, the smaller batches in JNCASR allow for more attention and a better chance of getting into at least one of their preferred labs.

IISC is smack dab in the middle of a commercial area (well, actually, the commercial areas grew around IISc, but let's not get into that). JNCASR is less centrally located and more of a sleepy campus. It's a completely different story after the second year when the pressure is intense and lab work can be extremely demanding. 

There are no holidays for students (not even Sundays or national holidays like the 15th of August or the 26th of January, but there is a flag hoisting event so you get off work for at least an hour) and most P.I.s do not allow paid leave of more than two weeks per year. This is not to say that there isn't any fun on campus. Most of the rules governing on-campus life are lax, and the guards and staff are laid-back and don't make a fuss when asked to overlook a few things.

Which course is better, an MSc. in finance from Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management, Mumbai, or NMIMS, Mumbai or MSc. in financial engineering from IFMR, Chennai?

AK
Apoorva Katnik Posted On : March 14th, 2023
MBA from NMIMS,Mumbai

 If you are considering pursuing a Master of Science (M Sc) degree from NMIMS, it is important to do some further research on the recognition of the degree. However, an MBA from their Mumbai campus can be a good option to consider.

On the other hand, IFMR offers only MBA and Ph.D. programs, so it is not possible to pursue an M.Sc from there. As for JBIMS, it is the most prestigious institution in Mumbai, but there have been some concerns raised about the accuracy of their placement salary data. Additionally, the selection process for their M Sc course is quite competitive, with only 30 seats available for the program and a large number of candidates competing for those spots.

Considering your interest in finance, it would be beneficial to aim for admission to a top-notch business school like XLRI, which is renowned for its finance program. Another option would be to gain experience in the industry and pursue a finance course such as CFA or FRM, which would make you eligible for admission to world-renowned business schools such as the Indian School of Business.

  • Complex Analysis
  • Linear Algebra
  • Abstract Algebra
  • Functional Analysis
  • Topology of Metric Spaces
  • Numerical Analysis

MSc Mathematics Computing / MSc Applied Mathematics at IIT Guwahati covers courses like
