ISI Kolkata does not provide a B.Math program. The majority of B.Stat students return for M.Stat while some people join CMI, TIFR, IIM, and other such organizations.
M.Stat employees earn an average of 16–17 LPA, and many of them attend prestigious US graduate institutions. There are no fees for the entire program, and a stipend is provided. So, if you're looking for a career here, your future is bright.
The BSc (Maths) entrance exam is BHU is one of the easiest exams. You can score fairly good marks by just going through your 12th-grade Maths, Physics, and Chemistry books. Study Chemistry from NCERT book. A thorough study of the following chapters will get you good marks:
Biomolecule
Polymer
Animes
Chemistry in everyday life
The questions in the entrance exam are mostly based on direct concepts or formulas.
As far as the number of marks necessary is concerned, there is no fixed digit. But at least attempt 70 questions without mistakes. This means you need to score at least 210 marks out of 450. However, this number keeps changing based on the pattern of the question paper.
To score well in BHU UET, you need to have your basics clear. Go through all the chapters in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics from NCERT books and your textbooks at least once.
The required cutoff for the general candidates is around 190-200. So, try to score 240 to get your preferred combination.
Both B.Stat and B.Math are different courses being offered at different campuses at ISI Kolkata and ISI Bangalore respectively. There are only a few common subjects in both courses.
The choice ultimately depends on your choice and interest. You can go through the syllabus of both courses and understand the topics. Find whichever interests you, you can choose to be research-oriented like B.math students or go for M.stat or other courses, if you choose so.
You can apply for only 1 course because the institute conducts the entrance of both courses at the same time and day. You will be able to appear for only one of them.
My sister’s friend could not score a good rank in engineering but was lucky enough to get a seat in BHU UET for Maths Hons.
She shared her experience that this was the best decision of her life as she felt unique. She made a lot of memories and befriended many talented people.
She lived her college life to her fullest extent. From hostels to backlogs, she experienced all the fun. Despite creating hundreds of memories, today her batchmates are in IITs, 10% in IISc Banglore, 15% in IISERs, and 10% in IIMs. The others are booming in their own fields.
If you are willing to get admission at IGNOU for B.Sc. Mathematics you can follow the following steps:
choose minimum 40 credits worth of Mathematics electives
you have to choose/opt your Mathematics electives according to year wise scheme i.e some electives in first year,some in second year and rest are in third year.
Remember you cannot opt a 3rd year elective course in first year or second year. You can opt a first year course in second year or third year. Similarly a second year course in the third year. This is why there are less than 24 credit options of Mathematics electives.
Online registration system eliminates the already selected electives automatically. This is the reason you don’t get MTE1 or MTE6 etc. options in your second year reregistration options list.
MTE 06 is the toughest paper so try opting other electives.
The syllabus for the BHU UET BAc in Maths is vast. One single book is not enough to cover it. But having a strong command of 10+2 syllabus is very important. Studying the previous years questions will give you a clear picture of the pattern of questions.
The key syllabus for Maths Hons is:
Relations and Functions and their Notations ( RD Sharma)
The toughest part of the paper has to be Complex Numbers
Previous year papers
Binary system
If you are well versed in the above syllabus you are likely to score good marks.
One of my friends studied at Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI). According to him, getting previous year’s solved papers for B.Sc. Math Honours is easy.
If you do not get them online, try searching for the question books of every year in bookstores or in shopping sites like Amazon or Flipkart.

The required cutoff for North campus colleges is usually higher than the south campus colleges. You can choose the college based on your cutoff.
Whether you should opt for MnC at IIT Delhi or B.Math at ISI Bangalore depends on what you want from your graduation and your career prospects.
Academically both institutes are excellent and none is better than the other. So my answer entails the drastic difference in the curriculum and scope of the two programs.
Bachelor of Mathematics, ISI Bengaluru
This program has high-tech mathematical stuff and purely focuses on Mathematics. The Institute is smaller than IIT Delhi and ideal for those who have a single passion in life, Maths. The coursework consists of abstract algebra, analysis, probability theory, and so on. Additionally, it has compulsory courses in Statistics, Probability, and Physics as well. Although it offers some CS courses also, the program does not focus on Computer Science much.
Math and Computing (MnC), IIT Delhi
The curriculum of the MnC program is more inclined toward computer science than Mathematics. The program focuses more on applied mathematics, rather than pure mathematics. As a result, graduates from this course can start jobs earlier than those from ISI.
In a nutshell, if you are willing to go for higher education and research in mathematics, then ISI should be your goal. If you are a person interested in the practical application of concepts and want to eventually be employed in a company, then IIT Delhi is the best place for you.
