ICT Mumbai M.Sc Mathematics: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. Yes, the programme is officially listed as M.Sc. (Engineering Mathematics) in the ICT admission notice and is also referred to as M.Sc. in Mathematics and Computing. It is a 2-year, full-time programme conducted entirely by papers (four semesters) with no thesis component. The curriculum at ICT emphasises applied and computational mathematics, with relevance to engineering and technology applications, making it distinct from a pure mathematics programme offered at traditional science colleges.

Ans. Yes, B.E. or B.Tech. graduates are eligible to apply for M.Sc. Mathematics at ICT Mumbai, provided they have completed at least four Mathematics courses as part of their undergraduate degree and meet the minimum marks criterion of 60% aggregate (55% for backward class candidates). This makes the programme accessible to engineering graduates who wish to transition into a more mathematics-focused career in data science, computational research, or academia.

Ans. No, there is no fellowship or stipend available for M.Sc. (by papers) programmes at ICT Mumbai, including M.Sc. Mathematics. Unlike M.Tech. programmes where GATE-qualified students receive a monthly fellowship, the M.Sc. Mathematics programme does not have any such provision. Students may apply for government scholarships such as Post Matric Scholarship, Maharashtra Freeship, and MahaDBT scholarships, as well as alumni-funded merit-cum-means scholarships available at ICT.

Ans. M.Sc. Mathematics from ICT Mumbai opens doors to careers in data science, quantitative analysis, financial modelling, computational research, and academia. The ICT environment, with its strong engineering and technology ecosystem, gives Mathematics graduates exposure to applied mathematical methods used in chemical process modelling, optimisation, and data analytics. Graduates can also appear for competitive exams like CSIR-NET (Mathematical Sciences), GATE (Mathematics), and pursue PhD programmes at IITs, IISc, and other premier institutions. The ICT brand adds significant value to the degree in the job market.

Ans. Level 3 admission is based on the ICT entrance test, which is a written test designed on the basic Mathematics syllabus specified by the department. Level 4 admission is based on a valid IIT JAM (Mathematics) or CUET PG score. First preference for admission is given to Level 3 candidates; Level 4 candidates are considered only for seats remaining after Level 3 allotment. Both routes lead to the same programme and degree. Candidates are advised to appear for both the ICT entrance test and IIT JAM/CUET to maximise their chances of securing a seat.

Ans. For 2026-27, online applications close on 8 May 2026, and the ICT entrance examination schedule is announced separately on the ICT website after the application deadline. Based on previous years, the entrance test is typically held in June. The syllabus for the entrance test is based on basic Mathematics at the undergraduate level and is available on the ICT website (www.ictmumbai.edu.in). Candidates should focus on topics such as calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, real analysis, and probability/statistics. Practising previous years' question papers and standard undergraduate Mathematics textbooks is recommended.
