Mathematics after engineering

Disclaimer: I'm an engineer turned Physicist, so, all the information I've written is from what I found on the Internet or by speaking with people who have given those exams, to whom I'm forever indebted. Also special thanks to my 3 roomies for lending me their laptops to do this thing wherever I needed them. I'd like to start off by classifying exams into groups rather than viewing them individually, I'd strongly recommend readers to do the same, otherwise might lead to confusion-given the huge number of exams one can give.    The mathematics entrance exams can be divided into two categories broadly based on the education level of the students they're designed for, BSc level and MSc level. Do read the blog post [ How to do MSc Maths after B.Tech/B.E? ]  below to find out all the exams we can give. Here I'll be classifying and analyzing all of them to see which of them suits whom.

Btech Days and the start of a mathematical journey. From my school days, I loved mathematics, getting selected in RMO/JMO, attending their math camps, solving challenging geometry problems; I liked all of it as a child. But eventually, after 12th I got into VSSUT, Burla, a govt engineering college in Odisha in the Computer Science department. As a state board student neither I was taught a subject related to computer science in school nor I was even familiar with the use of laptops or computers during the initial days of B.Tech. Again the practice in the college was to mug off and vomit. So very soon I realized computer science, mainly coding, was not my cup of tea. This resulted in poor grades and attendance shortages and backlogs. In four years of B.Tech, I had a total of 18 backlogs and in the final year during summer vacation I cleared 10 backlogs in one shot. So going back into the story in the second year my aim was to only get a job in the placement and get out of the colleg...
