The integrated B.Sc + M.Sc course in Mathematics at Central University of Orissa, Koraput, spans five years and requires passing an entrance exam for admission. The program consists of 10 semesters, with the first six dedicated to the B.Sc portion. Admission involves a merit-based system, counseling, and payment of an academic fee of Rs. 27,800 for the entire course, collected per semester. Initial academic fees are around Rs. 5,000, followed by Rs. 3,700 each semester.
Hostel fees are Rs. 5,000 annually or Rs. 2,000 per semester, with single rooms provided. The department, consisting of 8 faculty members, offers a robust curriculum managed by teachers from esteemed institutions like IIT and NIT. However, there is no active placement cell or direct placement opportunities, and students must seek internships independently, as the college doesn't offer stipends for these. Scholarships are absent for postgraduates, but MPhil and PhD scholars receive monthly stipends of Rs. 5,000 and Rs. 8,000, respectively.
Despite potential scholarships from state and national sources, the processing is criticized for delays. The university maintains a supportive learning environment, though dissatisfaction exists with the handling of scholarship applications.
