Having a Ph.D. Degree in Pure Mathematics is amongst the increasingly rare species in India, as most of the people carry research in Applied Mathematics. So, with lesser heads to compete, Ph.D. Maths holders can easily get a job in any good university or institute with a great package to spend. According to Careercast, a career rating agency, has rated mathematician as the best job in 2014 based on four factors Environment, Income outlook and stress and the top 15 highest earning professions in India has only one common element “Mathematics”. It is the success story of the decade and it’s getting better all the time. As India’s corporate juggernaut gets more and more knowledge driven and data centric, it’s opening up a world for GenNext coming up with a Research Degree in Mathematics.

In India, generally Ph.D. Mathematics program runs over three years and students needs to submit a thesis within 12 months of the end of the program. Many universities includes some capstone projects which may enhance the program duration to four years. Generally Five Courses are offered during the first year and minimum three courses are required to be completed. The topics offered in the first year is as follow, it may vary college wise.
1. Algebra
2. Analysis
3. Topology
4. Discrete Mathematics
5. Differential Equations

Important Qualities to Acquire after the Degree:
Great in Analytics: A Mathematician needs to be sharp and precise in analysis and they should be comfortable with using statistics for analyzing large data.
Communication Skills: For being a teacher one needs to be a great communicator. The concepts should be crystal clear for the students being taught and the people not having extensive knowledge of mathematics
Mathematics: The most obvious skill to possess is mathematics means a mathematician must have the ability to work on complex problems of statistics, calculus and linear algebra
Problem Solving: Must have a die-hard approach of problem solving. No matter it takes days or weeks the solution should be eminent from a mathematician.

If you are considering pursuing higher education and are wondering about the advantages of studying in a prestigious university, you should consider studying at the University of Mysore, rather than going for Bangalore University.
Here are some reasons why studying at the University of Mysore might be a great choice for you:
Studying at the University of Mysore can be a great opportunity to receive a high-quality education and benefit from the beauty and serenity of Mysore city.
I have a few friends from the University of Mysore. Here are some tips that they shared with me.
These are some of the things that you should keep in mind if you are planning to join the University of Mysore.
During weekends, most students of Mysore University plan getaways to nearby places like Chamundi Hill, Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens, Devaraja Market, Namdroling Monestry, Somnathpur Temple, etc. Visit Mysore Palace on Sunday evenings. The palace will be illuminated and often there are many activities and cultural activities.
St. Philomena’s Church, Lalitha Mahal, and Jaganmohan Palace have wonderful architecture. Kukkarahalli Lake is the perfect place to sit idly and relax.
The Brindavan Gardens of Mysore has a beautiful array of musical fountains. These fountains change colors and rhythms in tune with the music playing.
It depends on the course you are choosing. Some of Mysore University PG courses are pretty good. The faculty base is excellent. Most of the professors are friendly and cooperative.
You can get decent placements if your academic record is good. M.Tech Computer Science and Technology has the best placement record among the PG courses.
