The Integrated  MSc and  PhD programme (3+5)

The Integrated MSc and PhD programme makes it possible to integrate the MSc programmes’ optional programme elements and the writing of the PhD dissertation. This allows students and their supervisors more time for the research element of the PhD programme.

The former 4+4 PhD is now a part of the Integrated PhD Scheme (3+5).

Admission requirements

The Integrated PhD programme is open to applicants who:

  • have completed the Bachelors degree with a good result.
  • are enrolled on an MSc programme offered by SCIENCE  or  have been offered admission to an MSc programme offered by SCIENCE
  • can coordinate and integrate the remaining ECTS of their MSc programme with the proposed PhD programme.
  • is qualified to be admitted to the PhD programme
  • have not  started writing the MSc thesis.

The academic content of the MSc programme must be related to the proposed PhD programme.  Read more requirements in the programme description below. 

Organisation of the Integrated MSc/PhD programme

The prescribed period of study for the integrated programme is five full-time equivalents (FTEs) (two for the MSc programme and three for the PhD programme). If, at commencement of the integrated 3+5 scheme, the student has passed one or more programme elements, the period of study is reduced correspondingly.

The 3+5 scheme is divided into two parts:

Part A: The student completes the MSc programme and concurrently completes one third of the PhD programme (one FTE). Part A is completed when the student completes the MSc programme and must be organized in such a way that the MSc programme is completed two years before completion of the entire integrated programme of study.

Part B : The student is a PhD student exclusively and completes the PhD programme in accordance with the approved PhD plan. Part B can be commenced once the student has completed the MSc programme (part A), and the regular assessments have been satisfactory, meaning that the student has lived up to the requirements in the PhD plan.

Doctoral (Ph.D and Integrated Ph.D) programmes in Mathematics

IMSc offers two doctoral programmes in mathematics - the Ph.D and Integrated Ph.D.  For eligibility requirements and application procedures, please refer to this webpage .

Students of both streams do basic coursework during the first few semesters after which they must successfully clear a qualifying examination in order to further continue in the programme.

A rough breakup of the programmes is as follows:

  • Semester I : 4 core courses.
  • Semester II: 2 core courses + 1 elective.
  • Semesters III and IV: Coursework as prescribed by guide/mentor.
  • Semesters III and IV : 4 courses and M.Sc. thesis (may be split between the semesters as desired).

The syllabi of the courses is available here.

Grades and minimum requirements

Grades are assigned to students based on their performance in each course. The grades are:

A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=fail

In order to stay in the doctoral programme, a student must have no F grade in any course, and must maintain a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2 at the end of the first year.

If a student has a CGPA below 2 at the end of the first term, (s)he will be warned/cautioned. If a student has a CGPA below 2 at the end of the second semester, (s)he will be advised that (s)he cannot continue in the doctoral programme and must consider the option of switching to an M. Phil. degree programme or to just an M.Sc. degree programme according as (s)he is in the Ph.D. programme or the Integrated Ph.D. programme.

For the purposes of the above considerations, there will be no question of a student taking a re-exam in a test, or dropping some elective courses where (s)he may have a poor grade. However, a student may drop an elective course before the end of the third week of coursework.

Coursework Interview and Tentative guide/mentor

At the end of the first year, each student must pass an oral exam that will test the material covered in the first year courses. Once the student passes this exam, (s)he must, with the help of the faculty, convince a faculty member (in his/her subject) to agree to be a tentative guide. This tentative guide should initially advise the student on an appropriate study programme in the second year, consistent with the student's strengths and taste. This study programme should then be approved by the monitoring committee of the student before the start of the second year's coursework. The monitoring committee should identify a suitable faculty member, who may not (but would typically) be the tentative guide/mentor, to guide the student's M.Sc. thesis (in case of students of the integrated Ph.D. programme.)

Qualifying examinations

In order to be eligible to register for a Ph.D., each student must pass a qualifying examination conducted by her/his monitoring committee. This exam will typically assess how well the student has undergone the study programme suggested by the tentative guide, as well as gauge the general level of the student's preparedness for undertaking a doctoral programme.

The qualifying exam for a student of the integrated Ph.D. programme will be held concurrently with the exams of the final - IVth - semester of the M.Sc. part of the programme; it will be an extension of her/his M.Sc. thesis viva-voce examination.

Students of the Ph.D. programme would typically take the qualifying exam at the end of the third semester. If a student passes the qualifying exam, the report of the monitoring committee of this exam will name the future thesis guide of the student. (Likewise, the report on a successful performance in the qualifying exam by a student of the Integrated Ph.D. programme will also name the future thesis guide of the student.)

If a student of the Integrated Ph.D. programme does not pass the qualifying exam, but has maintained minimum grade requirements in the coursework and M.Sc. thesis, (s)he will be asked to leave with the M.Sc. degree.

Monitoring and Doctoral Committees

Each student will be assigned a monitoring committee of faculty members as soon as (s)he enters the programme, which shall monitor his/her progress. The membership of the monitoring committee will change as the student evolves through the system. (A possible model will consist of the course coordinator as convenor, and have one teacher from each of the two semesters of the first year, while the tentative guide together with teachers of second year courses for a student will constitute her/his monitoring committee in the second year.)

Once the student has successfully cleared the qualifying exams and a doctoral guide has been identified, a Doctoral Committee will be constituted, which will monitor the subsequent progress of the student.

  • Integrated Masters with PhD – Explained
  • Types of Doctorates

An Integrated Masters with a PhD (iPhD) is a four-year postgraduate level programme that combines a one-year Masters course with a three-year PhD course. They allow students to familiarise themselves with their chosen topic, research methods and academic writing techniques before embarking on their own independent research project. An Integrated Masters with a PhD is particularly popular with international students and students who initially lack specialised knowledge or research skills.

Introduction

An Integrated Masters with PhD, also commonly referred to as either just an Integrated Masters degree or an Integrated PhD, offers a relatively new way to undertake postgraduate training. They maintain the depth and focus of a conventional PhD but offer a more comprehensive doctoral training experience.

Due to their growing popularity, both the number of universities offering these newer forms of PhD and the number of students applying to them has steadily increased.

This page describes what Integrated Masters with PhDs are, who they are for, their advantages and disadvantages, how they differ from conventional PhDs and how they are structured in terms of programme, eligibility and costs. This page is for you if you are considering applying for an integrated course, or simply want to know more about them.

What is an Integrated PhD?

An Integrated PhD is a four-year postgraduate programme. They involve undertaking a one-year Masters degree (MRes or MSc) in your first year, followed by a three-year PhD programme in your second to fourth year. Although the courses run back-to-back, a student can only progress to the second year if they show satisfactory performance in their first year. The one-year Masters and the three-year PhD are considered separately in terms of qualifications; therefore, a student who completes an Integrated PhD will receive both a Masters degree (MRes or MSc) and a PhD as opposed to a single postgraduate qualification.

The aim of an Integrated PhD is to provide a structured approach to doctoral studies, combining advanced PhD research with formal teaching in relevant subjects, research methods and communication skills.

As Integrated PhDs are relatively new compared to more regular doctoral pathways such as stand-alone or MPhil-upgraded PhDs, some professors informally refer to them as ‘New Route PhDs’.

Difference Between Integrated PhD and Regular PhD

The most significant difference between an Integrated PhD and a regular PhD is the addition of the one-year Masters degree at the beginning of the programme. This results in an Integrated PhD typically lasting four years, as opposed to the three years as with regular PhDs.

Integrated PhDs are structured in such a way that they provide students with a broader range of foundational skills than a regular PhD. The first year introduces you to a combination of taught elements, practical experience and advanced research skills. In a regular PhD this mode of teaching is missing as it is assumed you already have this level of knowledge.

The last significant difference between the two types of doctoral programmes is the ‘group’ aspect associated with the Integrated version. Since the Masters programme also includes other students enrolled in Integrated PhDs, you will have a small cohort with whom you will work closely alongside during your studies.

Who are Integrated PhDs suitable for?

Integrated PhDs can be an effective pathway for any student, but they stand out in two situations:

Scenario 1: International Students

The Higher Education system differs across countries , although not by a large amount, enough to where an unfamiliar student may struggle, especially when working independently. An Integrated PhD allows you to adapt to the UK education system by offering a more guided and hands-on approach to your learning and research process before you embark on your three-year research project.

It also has visa benefits. If an international student seeking a Masters degree in the UK already knows they want to follow it up with a PhD, enrolling in an Integrated PhD will save them from having to leave the country and re-apply for a visa after completing their initial postgraduate degree.

Scenario 2: Lack of undergraduate research experience or a relevant Masters degree

An Integrated PhD is useful for students who have academic abilities but lack the necessary background to be considered for a standard-route PhD. This usually occurs under one of three scenarios:

  • The applicant is currently an undergraduate student or only holds a Bachelor’s degree,
  • The student has a Masters degree, but in a subject only loosely related to the discipline they wish to pursue at doctoral level,
  • The student has a relevant Masters degree, but the programme lacked a research focus, leaving the student with underdeveloped research skills.

Advantages and Disadvantages of an Integrated PhD

The advantages of an Integrated PhD are strongly linked to the international and inexperienced students they cater for. They offer students an effective means of gaining more confidence, knowledge and research skills in their field before starting a doctorate, and also provide visa benefits to international students who will be undertaking prior postgraduate study.

Integrated PhDs also enable students the possibility of receiving funding for the Masters phase of their programme, as will be explained in more detail in the ‘Funding Opportunities’ section.

Integrated doctorates have no obvious disadvantages, but are generally not suitable for those who already have a Masters degree or well-developed research skills in their chosen field. For these students, the additional costs and duration of an Integrated PhD can be avoided by opting for a traditional PhD for which they will already be suited for.

Finding a PhD has never been this easy – search for a PhD by keyword, location or academic area of interest.

The programme of study is naturally divided into two parts, the first for your Masters studies and the second for your PhD studies.

Your Masters studies will usually be divided into 180 module credits, half of which will focus on taught components and the other half on research components.

The modules will be tailored to your course, but they will include a variation of:

Taught modules:

  • Subject-specific module – You choose one or two modules from a predefined list of topics within your subject area. Your selection should reflect the research area you want your PhD to focus on.
  • English and Communication – Academic language and communication skills will be taught to prepare you for the ‘writing-up’ phase of your doctorate. A common misconception is that this module is similar to the English language requirement tests required to apply to a iPhD. In reality, the module will focus on learning how to critically evaluate research sources, write abstracts, literature reviews and conclusions, communicate in lab-based environments and present to audiences.
  • Research Techniques  – You’ll receive in-depth training to familiarise you with the different research methods and analytical techniques available to modern researchers.
  • Research Proposal Development  – You’ll work with your intended PhD supervisor to prepare a research proposal for your three-year PhD research project.

Research Modules:

You will carry out one or two small laboratory research projects under supervision for practical experience.

Integrated PhD in UK - Lectures and Lab Work

If you complete these modules with satisfactory performance, you will be awarded a Masters degree and will be considered for the following three-year PhD programme.

Each university has its own process for making this consideration, but most invite you to an interview with the supervisor you wish to conduct research with. The interview is used to confirm that you have acquired the specialised knowledge and research skills expected at masters level, and beyond that of someone capable of completing doctoral study.

If your interview goes well, you will be enrolled in your PhD programme. From this point on, your path will be the same as a regular PhD student. During your doctoral phase, you will conduct independent research and laboratory work for two years, followed by a final year of writing up and formally submitting your findings as a thesis. Your thesis, expertise and research competence will be assessed in an oral examination known as a viva. Upon successful completion of your viva, you will be officially awarded a PhD, and your studies will come to an end.

It should be noted that aside from the above, your university may offer optional modules which can equip you with a wide range of transferable skills.

Eligibility

Entry requirements for an integrated masters degree in the UK will vary from university to university, but the typical requirement is an Upper Second Class (2:1) honours Bachelor’s degree in a relevant subject. Equivalent international qualifications are also accepted.

If you are an international student and English is your second language, most universities will require proof of your English language proficiency through an exam certificate. It’s best to check directly with the universities which certificate types they accept, but the most common English language qualification requirement is an IELTS certificate, with a minimum overall score of 6.5 with no less than 6.0 in each category.

The typical annual tuition fee for an Integrated PhD in the UK is £4,712 per academic year for home/EU students (or £2,356 for part-time study) and £19,596 per academic year for international students (or £9,798 for part-time study).

As with all doctoral programmes, there are likely to be additional costs associated with your studies, such as bench fees for lab work, travel costs for collaborating and potential write-up fees for students who need more time to submit their thesis. You can get more information about these additional costs on our cost breakdown page .

Funding Opportunities

You can obtain funding for Integrated PhDs in the same way as for regular PhDs. Funding is usually provided by one of the seven UK Research Councils  and research charity organisations such as the  Wellcome Trust ; grants, scholarships and funded opportunities can be found directly in our searchable database .

Funding can either be partial (tuition fees only) or full (tuition fees and living costs). Most funding providers also cover the tuition fee for the Masters degree programme due to being integrated with the PhD, however, you should confirm this on a case-by-case basis.

As with regular PhD funding, the fully-funded opportunities are generally limited to home and EU students.

It’s also worth noting that PhD programmes which include an integrated Masters degree are eligible for a Doctoral Loan , even if you already have a postgraduate Masters degree from a previous university. Applications for Doctoral Loans must be made directly to Student Finance England and you must first be registered for a full doctoral degree. Due to application restrictions, you won’t be able to apply for a separate Postgraduate Masters Loan for the integrated Masters phase of your degree.

Availability

You can search for Integrated PhDs in three ways:

  • Our Search Page  – Search for the term ‘Integrated’ in our  comprehensive database of STEM PhDs .
  • University Search Pages – Universities advertise their Integrated PhDs on their postgraduate search pages. You can find them by searching the name of the university followed by “ search postgraduate courses ” directly in Google.

Integrated PhD

Pursuing a PhD is the ultimate goal of a scholar as it offers immense opportunities to delve into the ocean of knowledge of any domain of study. Involving a painstaking research process, a PhD can stretch from 3-5 years which is a colossal amount of time to immerse into a particular discipline. An Integrated PhD is a viable alternative to a regular doctoral degree as it saves you from the additional time and effort that goes into making the transition from a master’s degree to a research degree. If you’d like to fetch the information associated with different aspects of an Integrated PhD, continue reading our blog through which we aim to elaborate on the key essentials of this degree and the major institutions you can pursue it from.

This Blog Includes:

What is an integrated phd, difference between regular phd and integrated phd, who should study an integrated phd, documents required, submitting the application with a project title, submitting the application without a project title, applying for cdt programme, imperial college london, university of copenhagen, university of warwick, brunel university london, university of southampton, national university of singapore, loyola university chicago, boston college, university of rochester.

Integrated PhD is a research programme mainly comprising of Science , Technology, Engineering and Mathematics [ STEM ] fields. Some other similar doctoral programs are also available in Arts , Social Sciences and Humanities which are funded by the Research Councils. This 5-year degree program combines a master’s course with a PhD in which the first 2 years, students are supposed to study an MSc , MTech, MA or MRes and the next 3 years are dedicated to research work and a core PhD course. However, the duration may vary from university to university. On successful completion, scholars are awarded a doctoral degree.

  • PhD in Education
  • PhD in Pharmacy
  • PhD in English
  • PhD in Physics
  • PhD in Economics

How Does Integrated PhD Programme Works?

Your master’s program will be inclined towards providing subject knowledge and accumulation of research skills important for your doctorate. In fact, the master you study may actually be called a Master of Research (MRes) rather than a taught MSc or MA.

How is Integrated PhD Graded? 

While the master’s portion is graded as a standalone qualification, the latter part is assessed on your thesis and performance in the viva voce. 

Why Should You Study Integrated PhD?

For students looking forward to working in a field that would require a blend of qualifications and specific research training, an integrated doctorate course can be a great way to prepare for this. The extended degree program is designed to offer the skills and competencies you need. Students will gradually acquire logical ways to smoothly transcend from master’s to doctoral research. 

Are you wondering what type of doctoral degree is right for you? Choosing between similar courses is a difficult task, but if you have the key differences in front of you, it becomes easier to make a concise decision. In order to pursue a regular PhD, scholars are required to have a master’s degree as the minimum qualification, whereas an Integrated PhD can be started just after completing your graduation. While a regular PhD can be done in any subject you want and is time-consuming, an integrated program takes fewer years to finish and also offers you the flexibility to select your field of interest. 

An integrated PhD is an excellent choice for anyone who believes they might benefit from more formal research training before pursuing an independent PhD topic. People who apply for Integrated PhDs, on the other hand, tend to fall into one of two categories:

  • Bachelor’s degree holders who do not have a Master’s degree
  • International students who want to familiarise themselves with the higher education system in their host country before pursuing a PhD.

Entry Requirements

  • A 2:1 undergraduate degree in a related topic is normally required for admission to an integrated PhD.
  • International students may additionally be required to achieve English language proficiency criteria.
  • Most courses will accept an IELTS score of 6.0 overall, with a minimum of 5.5 in each section.
  • Check the programme description of your chosen PhD programme for detailed entry criteria.

Typically, applications are submitted using an online gateway on your university’s website. The specific documents necessary may vary, but in general, you will need to provide a combination of the following:

  • Personal statement
  • Cover letter
  • Academic CV
  • Research proposal (if applicable)

Application Process

Depending on the nature of the curriculum, there are a few alternative ways to apply for an Integrated PhD.

Some integrated PhDs will require you to select a research subject before applying (much like a normal PhD). Once you’ve identified a university that offers an integrated option for the subject you want to study, you’ll need to determine whether you want to propose your own research topic or apply for a PhD that has already been designed for you. In either case, reach out to potential supervisors before submitting your application.

The supervisor will be indicated in the advertisement if you are applying for a pre-designed PhD. If you created your own project, you’ll need to identify a professor whose expertise matches your research interests. In both circumstances, inform your potential supervisor that you will be applying for an integrated programme. This can help them assess if they are a good fit for the project.

Some integrated PhD programmes do not require students to choose a research subject before beginning their study. Instead, in your first year, you will engage in numerous minor research projects alongside potential supervisors, allowing you to make an educated decision on your eventual PhD topic. During your first year, you will typically develop your research proposal. This is very prevalent in STEM disciplines.

You will not need to contact prospective supervisors before applying for these projects. However, when completing your application, it is still a good idea to consider areas of research that interest you.

Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs) finance many integrated PhD curricula. These are consortiums formed by groups of research entities (often universities and industry partners) that provide training for PhD cohorts and provide fully supported studentships. If you want to apply for an integrated CDT PhD (also known as a 1+3 programme), you can do so through your host university or through the CDT itself.

Individual projects are normally offered under each CDT programme, so you’ll need to mention which one you’re interested in when you apply. You may be prompted to mention a preference in your application yet may be matched with a different project.

Major Universities

This PhD program is a new model of doctoral training which retains the rigour, depth and focus of a conventional PhD while also extending a broader training experience. Let us briefly look at some of the most renowned institutions in the world offering excellent integrated doctoral courses:

  • Nursing Education

Ans. The Integrated PhD combines taught specialist modules, training and skills courses, and research studies. This enables Postgraduate Researchers (PGRs) to widen and deepen their topic knowledge, as well as to broaden and develop their expertise in other directions.

Ans. While a traditional PhD can be completed in any subject and takes time, an integrated programme takes fewer years to complete and allows you to choose your field of interest.

Ans. A four-year postgraduate programme is an Integrated PhD. In the first year, you will complete a one-year Master’s degree (MRes or MSc), followed by a three-year PhD curriculum in the second through fourth years.

If you are aiming to increase your chances for timely completion of your doctorate program in comparison to those taking the traditional route of PhD, then an Integrated PhD is most suited for you. You can get in touch with our experts at Leverage Edu who can help you throughout the application process from choosing the right PhD degree to making an impressive application and drafting SOPs and LORs to get successfully shortlisted into your dream university abroad.

IIT Bombay Department of Mathematics

The m.sc mathematics programme, integrated m.sc. programme.

  • You are here:
  • Academic Programs
  • Integrated M.Sc.

Overview of the Integrated M.Sc. programme

The 5 year integrated M.Sc. programme in Mathematics is available to students at IIT Bombay who have completed at least one year of their undergraduate studies. Students can request for a change to this programme to the Department of Mathematics at the end of their first year, after securing permission from their parent department. Students wishing to switch branches after the second year must have done sufficiently many mathematics courses during their second year. The applications for those wishing to enter this programme are reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Department of Mathematics and forwarded with a suitable recommendation to the Dean of Academic Programmes.

The programme offers rigorous coursework ensuring a strong foundational base. In addition to a number of "core" basic courses, students are required to complete at least nine elective courses and are encouraged to take at least a few advanced courses at the Ph.D. level. Students must also register for a fifth year project which allow them to explore an individual area of their choice in greater depth.

Though the numbers enrolling in this programme have been small, the students are highly motivated and have been very successful. All the students who have graduated have gone on to pursue doctorates in mathematics at some of the most prestigious universities in the world. While the students so far have largely been academically inclined, the coursework potentially equips them with a wide range of skills suitable for employment outside of academia as well.

The curriculum can be found here.

All ways to do MSc/PhD Maths after B.Tech

 “How to study Mathematics after engineering?”
To all those questions, the answer is,

“Yes!! you can study Mathematics after Engineering in India”

Hello, math enthusiasts.

                   Hey fellow Engineer!!! I actually am an engineer turned Physicist, After the success of my blog ‘Physics after Engineering’ which is for engineers switching to physics, I thought of building one such for mathematics as well. So, I have checked all the institutes that take engineers into Physics to see if they take engineers into also into mathematics. I’ve listed out all such I found.   I’ve tried my best to include as many as possible but I urge your help to complete the list and keep it updated as I am in the field of physics and not math. So, if you have any new information or correction in the blog, please comment below or in our WhatsApp group or mail me.

Here is  The link  to the “Maths after Engineering”  WhatsApp  group where all members are math enthusiastic engineers like you. I’d recommend joining the group because there are people who have joined IITs for MSc Math and some are about to join this year(2020), also you’ll be getting updates about notifications of any exams mentioned below and information on any new opportunities available.

Note: All that said, Reader discretion is advised on choosing a mathematics career cause one might not earn as much as one can with an engineering or MBA degree. It also takes a lot of time to settle in this field so be prepared to see all your crushes and Exes getting married and having a kid or two while you’re still studying. Also Cracking the competitive exams below and completing the degree require serious commitment and love for the subject. Assuming you have it all in you , Let’s now enter into details already !!!!

I just need an MSc Math degree for promotion. I don’t care much about learning Maths for fun and all that.

If you belong to this category you may go for the online MSC Mathematics courses section offered by the universities such as LPU, where you can do your master’s sitting at home at a low cost (and equally low quality LOL).

Ways to study Mathematics after Engineering

These are the major ways for doing Msc or Integrated Ph.D.(or direct Ph.D. in some cases) in Mathematics after Engineering.

Indian Statistical Institute(ISI)

  • Other Entrance tests .
  • Opportunities abroad (Math GRE, General GRE, IELTS, and TOFEL, etc)
  • TIFR GS (Integrated Ph.D.  paper)
  • GATE   Engineering score
  • Online & Distance programs (At the bottom of the page)
  • MS by research programs
  • Direct  Ph.D.
  • GATE Mathematics

         This is an exam conducted by IITs as an entrance test to MSc and an Integrated Ph.D. in IITs and IISC. Along with these, IISERs also take JAM rankers into Integrated Ph.D. and some have started MSc programs too. Actually, there is a small confusion about the eligibility of engineers into IITs through JAM. IITs require 4 semesters with at least one maths(or related) subject in your undergraduate(engineering) coursework. This is a vague statement but the IITs selection process and our (physics aspirants) experiences are even more confusing. So, do read this blog post about the experience of JAM physics rankers in the selection process of IITs to get some idea regarding this confusion (It is written from Physics aspirants’ experiences but is applicable to maths ones as well. Just read ‘maths’ wherever you find ‘physics’ in the post)

IIT Mandi, IISC, and IISERs  have their own application portal , you have to apply to each of them individually through their websites and not through the JAM counseling portal( where you can apply for all IITs in a single place) also, NITs take students through another counseling but none of them take Engineers in M.Sc Maths, NIT Arunachal Pradesh takes Engineers in mathematical physics course but it’s a pretty bad course and people recommend sitting for one more year and preparing for the exams again rather than taking admission there.

  • ‘ How to start preparing for JAM Maths ‘ by Arnab Choudary (AIR-56)

Engineers are eligible for lots of courses in ISI which has multiple campuses across the country and the main campus at Kolkata. We are eligible for PG courses M.Math, M.Stat, MS(QE-Quantitative Economics), etc, and also for diploma courses in statistics. Go through their official website for full details.

Universities and Other Entrance tests

I’ve searched the eligibility criteria of almost all major colleges and universities and of them all, These are the ones that I found to give admission to Engineering grads in M.Sc/MA in Mathematics or related fields like applied mathematics. Almost all of the Institutes below don’t have any eligibility criteria for coursework unlike IITs which is a kind of saving grace for those who don’t satisfy the criteria

  • Indian Statistical Institute (ISI)
  • Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI)
  • IISc, Bangalore (I Ph.D. program- Link )
  • This is a Common entrance test for some Central Univs. Central Govt. is trying to bring all the central Univs under this one common entrance exam. There are some really good Univs. like JNU , and HCU , but most others are not-so-good Central Universities. More and more Univs. are joining this. Anyway, us engineers, are eligible only for 5-6 of them you should check out the list from the website [ Link ]
  • IISER Pune [ Link ]
  • IISER, Kolkata [ Link ]
  • IISER, Bhopal [ Link ]
  • IISER Tiruvanamthapuram [ Link ]
  • LNMIIT, Jaipur [JAM qualified students can get in with an interview (without an entrance exam). They have excellent faculty and also give a monthly stipend of Rs.5000 to 10 out of the 15 students details here ]
  • Shiv Nadar University, Noida [ Link ]
  • Hyderabad Central University -HCU [ Link ]
  • Delhi University (3 yrs or 6 sems of maths-related subjects required in bachelors- link )
  • Pune University (you’ll be eligible for MSc but not MA- link )
  • Somaiya University [ Link ]
  • South Asian University ( SAU)-Delhi[ Link ]
  • Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya, Indore[ link ]
  • IIT Mandi (Himachal Pradesh)?
  • Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai (ICT, Mumbai)?
  • Christ University (Bangalore) [ Link ]
  •  Ramanujan Institute, Chennai [ Link ]
  • CHARUSAT, Gujarat?
  • Utkal University,Bhubaneswar(maths?,statistics) [ Link ]
  • LPU (Lovely Professional University) [LPUCET] [ Link]

I’m not sure about how good the last few institutes on the list are, do your own research!

Opportunities Abroad

  • Applying Abroad for Master’s Degree  –  Rajnish
  • Physics GRE preparation for Engineers  – Vaibhav Sharma (990/990 in PGRE)
  • India or Abroad?  MS/M.Sc (Master’s) in Physics after Engineering?  – Vaibhav Sharma
  • Applying for direct Ph.D. abroad right after Engineering (without masters)   –  Surendra Padamata  (External link)
  • Visit the  Contents of the Math Dorm  and  scroll to the ‘Applying abroad’ section for posts with lists of universities and other useful stuff.

(A rant on the Indian govt) Our beloved Govt. of India has been reassuring us time and again how it’s going to underpay and undervalue the researchers and research institutes in the country. With acts like a minimal hike in Ph.D. stipend given after 4 years and intensive protests from scholars, time and again it proves that these conditions are going to prevail for a long time.

Anyway getting back to our topic, the General GRE with a combination of TOEFL or IELTS is necessary for the USA, and having a Maths GRE score is also recommended. As for the European countries, only IELTS is enough (Sending GRE scores might add to your profile but is not mandatory). The tuition fee is zero in some countries like Italy and Germany.

           TIFR is one of the elite research institutes in India if not the best. It has campuses in Mumbai, Banglore, Hyderabad, and Pune. Of them, the ones in Mumbai and in Banglore(ICTS) have mathematics departments. Engineers have to opt for an Integrated Ph.D. paper, Your questions will be from the BSc syllabus but the no.of questions will be rather less, and look for your deep understanding of a concept. Very few people get selected this way. The interviews will also be very thought-provoking. You need to be very strong with your fundamentals.

The best part of this(or any other Ph.D. course) is the stipend. You’ll receive a monthly fellowship of Rs 16,000/- for the first year. At the end of the first year, upon satisfactory performance, the fellowship is enhanced to Rs 25,000/- per month (further raised to Rs 28,000/- after registration for PhD. and annual contingency of Rs. 20,000/-(First Year Int. PhD. students)-Book Grant Only / 32,000/- per year [Ph.D. students and Int. Ph.D. students (Second Year onwards)]

  • IMSc, Chennai
  • HRI, Allahabad

  • IISc – Ph.D., and IPh.D
  • IMSc, Chennai Int Ph.D. (In exceptional cases)
  • IIT Madras – Ph.D. (not sure)

Direct Ph.D.

         These are the institutes that offer direct Ph.D. to engineers. You need to have a good knowledge in some specific research field you are applying for, to crack the interviews

  • Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI) [Although it’s mentioned as a direct Ph.D. those who don’t have math background have to attend a year and a half of coursework. So It’s basically an Integrated Ph.D. program again)
  • IISC Bangalore
  • Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research ( JNCASR ) , Bangalore [ Eligibility ]
  • BITS (All campuses)
  • TCIS-TIFR Hyderabad
  • IISERs: Pune, Mohali, Thiruvananthapuram, and Tirupati

Hi Dushyanth! Any ideas for a MSc. Math course through distance education in Tamil Nadu? I am pursuing my career as a Software Engineer, and would like to do an M.Sc. Math and B.Ed. through distance education for my interest in taking up a government teaching job in Mathematics.

I've mentioned all the opportunities I've known brother, haven't found any such in tamilnadu. The list may still not be complete, you may try checking the websites are contacting the institutes to know if there are any. If you do find something kindly let me know, I'll put it up in the website.

Hi..I want to pursue MSc maths. I'm engineering student (ECE) and I had maths for 3 semesters and eligibility for IITs is 4 semesters. And for NITs eligibility is written as BSc. Are there any colleges which offer MSc course for ECE engineers?
