Integrated MSc Applied mathematics

The result of IIT-JEE is around the corner and it's the time when the student would start searching for the options that they could consider for pursuing the degree in the college for which they have given almost all the efforts they could have. After the ranks will be out there would be a sudden dilemma for some of the students about filling the choice sheet. Most of the students will end up filling according to the previous years cut off, by asking peers, cousins, relatives and the who's who they know is qualified enough to guide them.

Being myself from Integrated MSc in Applied mathematics i would love to tell what all i know about my branch.. This branch of IIT Roorkee was started in the academic year of 2007-08 along with the branches Integrated MSc in Physics, Integrated MSc in Chemistry, Integrated M Tech in Geophysical Technology, Integrated M Tech in Geological Technology. The First batch of these branches passed out in the academic year of 2011-2012. There is some revision in the course structure from the academic year 2013-2014, though I have uploaded the previous course structure but they should expect some changes for good. :)

Before going into much academic details i would like to congratulate all the students who got selected this year in IIT-JEE. IITs which are known for their academics and other achievements have achieved it through the hard work of their alumnus who succeeded in various fields. When you get into the campus there are a wide range of opportunities and facilities available which provide you an opportunity for developing your personality.

Things can't be compared with other IIT campuses but like other IITs the sports facilities and club culture are very active in Roorkee as well unlike other colleges in the nation. For sports one would find the facilities for almost all the sports and are undoubtedly the best one can get in a campus and there is an on going project of multi-activity center too. With the help of various sections which include of EDC, IMG, SDS, MUSIC, CHOREO, KSHITIJ , WONA and many more one could polish there abilities as well as redefine themselves. These facilities are really important from a students point of view and one could see a glimpse of it from IIT Roorkee's website as well.

The ongoing course structure of the branch is uploaded on

There are quiet a few students who have been selected in the prestigious Google summer of code (GSOC) in past years and some have made us proud in this year as well(2013-2014). Amit kumar(batch 2007-2012) was selected in LAMP fellowship. Students have done their intern in foreign institutes as well as Indian one. The future of the students can vary in different fields. There are options for students by going in finance field, programming, research, consulting and the other options are also open if anyone opts for. The job and career prospect is not that difficult and the rest depends on the student too.

The course has some similarity to the course offered of Mathematics and Computing in other IITs and a lot also depends on a student pursuing the degree whatever branch it is. The branch and the course is really nice but the efforts at the end of student is also necessary. Quoting a really famous quote "Go deep down into anything and you will find mathematics" and really the branch has a lot of potential and is one of a very good options available.

I would also like to mention that there are immense opportunities in this particular branch and one should not undermine it and rate less than any B.Tech course. Also as of now two batches have passed out from this course and the average package was approximately 9 lakhs p.a. The companies they were placed in were InMobi, Paypal, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Royal Bank of Scotland, Flipkart, HackerEarth, Futures first, Sapient, Oracle Financial Services(OFSS), Deloitte, Cognizant, Tavant Technologies, CA Technologies, GreyB. One of the seniors have made it to IIM - Calcutta as well as also a student of batch 2007-2012 is pursing PhD from Tulane University.

The maximum strength of a batch allotted to the branch is of 30 also the students also receive INSPIRE scholarship of Rs 60,000 annually from the GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. If any student thinks of not taking the branch just because the name being "Integrated MSc" then it is a mistake according to me and if anyone is considering it as an option then you are welcome to contact on  mathematiciansiniitr@googlegroups.com .
