Mathematics after engineering

There seems to be a lot of confusion about master's courses at ISI, so, I have asked a few people who have either completed or currently studying at ISI to describe their courses. I and our 200+ MAE community members are extremely thankful to them and we wish for a bright future for them. This is incomplete as of now, details of other courses will be posted soon. Some common information related to all courses : Generally, the admission to any course starts with a written test that contains an objective paper and a subject paper followed by an interview and declaration of merit lists. One can bypass the written test if they have a score above a set threshold in (say) exams like JAM, GATE, etc., ISI, since its inception, has adopted no tuition fee to most of its courses and all masters courses fall in that umbrella. Also, a decent stipend and a yearly book grant are given. Apart from that, each semester, scholarships are given to the best performers in academics. 1) Master of Statis...

"Top BSc Maths colleges| THE ONLY STUDENT-MADE LIST ON WEB" Ok, the title might not be 100% accurate because I obviously can't go through the whole of the Internet to confirm if there isn't any other student made list. But from my so far seen internet, there wasn't anything I could find that is student-made nor something that could remotely match the quality of this post.  Unlike the manipulated and paid lists you find in popular websites, this is a list of best places to do a bachelor's degree in mathematics in India as opined by students who actually lived and studied in those regions. Based on the information I've gathered from my friends, and our PAE(Physics After Engineering) community members and the internet, I have put up the names of some of the good institutes that (we felt) are  actually worth  spending a few years in, to study Mathematics. It'll answer questions like How to become a mathematician in India? How to become a mathematician aft...

What is JAM : JAM stands for J oint A dmission Test for M .Sc. Every year JAM is conducted by one of the old IITs. Registration starts in the first week of September and continues till the first-second week of October. Each year the exam is held on the second Sunday of February. For engineers like me who wish to pursue higher studies in Mathematics, JAM is the most useful (and arguably perhaps the easiest) examination. With a valid JAM scorecard, you can apply to all IITs, all IISERs as well as IISc. As of now, however, NITs don't allow B.Tech degree holders to seat for the counseling. In this blog post, I will discuss how someone might start preparing for this exam from engineering backgrounds as well as I would address some general questions I often receive regarding this exam. When should one start preparing: Of course as early as possible. In my personal case, I started preparing seriously in my fifth semester, which means I got roughly 2 years before the examination. However,...
