Department of Mathematics

The Department came into existence in 1967 with a major objective to serve as a center of academic excellence in the area of Post Graduate education in Mathematics and to provide research facilities for teaching, training and research in this area. Apart from regular courses like M.A. /M.Sc., Six-Month Pre-Registration Course Work of the Ph. D./ M. Phil. Programmes, M. Phil. and Ph.

The Department since its inception has organized various Seminars, Workshops, Refresher Courses and Summer Institutes to train the teachers of the region. In 1992 the department was selected under COSIST by UGC. The Department is receiving NBHM Book Grants since 1992 – 93 till to-day. The Department got financial support from FIST for infrastructure developments. In 2007, the Department was awarded financial assistance under Special Assistance Program (SAP) of UGC for a period of 5 years with Mathematical Modeling as the thrust area. The Department has successfully completed the SAP (DRS-I). The UGC has further approved the department for continuation from DRS(I) to DRS(II) for a period of 5 years (01.04.2013 to 31.03.2018). The Department has completed two minor research projects under UGC; six major research projects, four of which were funded by UGC and one each funded by DST and DAE. Further one major research project under UGC is presently running in the department. Publications of the Faculty Members during 2015-2016: 41 (International).
