10+2 with Mathematics as one of the main subjects.
Duration
3 Year
The Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (B.Sc. Mathematics) is a 3-year undergraduate program designed to provide students with a strong foundation in mathematical theories, problem-solving techniques, and analytical skills. The course focuses on both pure mathematics (algebra, calculus, real and complex analysis) and applied mathematics (statistics, numerical methods, mathematical modeling), preparing students for careers in research, academics, and industry. Students also develop logical reasoning, quantitative analysis, and computational skills that are valuable in various professional fields.
Completion of 10+2 or equivalent examination from a recognized board.
Mathematics as a compulsory subject in 12th grade.
Minimum percentage requirement generally ranges from 50% to 60%, depending on the college/university.
3 years (divided into 6 semesters)
