The Master of Science (M.Sc) in Mathematics at IIT Kanpur is a prestigious program recognized for its strong faculty and flexible curriculum in both pure and applied mathematics. Admission requires passing the IIT JAM MA exam, with a general category cutoff around AIR 220, and is conducted online via the JOAPS portal. The program is one of the few in India offering an MSc in Statistics alongside Mathematics, with superior theoretical courses and placements compared to some other IITs.

The annual fee for the program is about ‚Ç?60,000, covering tuition and hostel charges, with mess fees billed separately. Scholarships like the Merit cum Means and Free Basic Mess are available, providing financial support through fee waivers and allowances, especially benefiting SC/ST students. Faculty at IIT Kanpur are highly supportive, maintaining a favorable student-to-teacher ratio which enhances the learning experience. Despite IIT Kanpur's high placement rates for B.Tech students‚Äîaveraging packages of 27 LPA and peaking at 2 crore‚Äîthe MSc Mathematics graduates face more limited job prospects, mainly in sectors like JEE coaching and data science.

Internships, although less available for MSc students compared to B.Tech and MSc Statistics peers, play a crucial role, with opportunities at companies like Barclays and Citibank, potentially leading to pre-placement offers.

Fee of the courses is affordable for every student.

For other activities there are not time because academic always going on with full potential .
I don't really like the Academic curriculum of the institute.

I paid 18000/- per semester as semester fee and also paid mess and other charges like electricity bill and water bill. I am belong to reseved category so I don't need to pay tution fee. And I pay 5000 as admission fee . I get one scholarship from institute that is FBM free mess scholarship.

Some courses here are really rigorous. Some professor makes it tough for even pass the paper with a good grade.

Per year its around 60,000 yearly. Which consists of tution fee, Hostel fee, etc. Mess fee comes seperately monthly depending on the food consumption in the mess. For B.Tech the fees is around 150000 per semester. You get scholarship opportunities under FBM, MCM. And also other academic scholarship, institute sponsored, based upon CPI and Project performance.

The fees is not much compared to other institutions. There's also scholarships such as MCM (Merit cum Means) to support students from financially weak background. For the first year of my masters, I paid ?60365 which included Tuition fees, Hostel Rent fees and the Mess Establishment Charges.

A Great place to have deep knowledge while zero placement in M.Sc. chemistry.

Fee Hike policy for chemistry students is almost negligible and mostly all the students get some specific scholarship, I also got a scholarship worth of 40k in my first semester and the placement section for M.Sc. Chemistry is below average according to IIT standards, i remember for M.Sc. Chemistry only 2 company's came and they didn't even hire a single student from all 38 bright minded students.
