CAREER IN MATHEMATICS- PART1

Mathematics is a puzzle, pleasing and pleasurable. It has both logical and creative bent, making it a problem solver delight. If you are deeply interested in Mathematics, if you feel numbers dancing in your head, you should probably consider career in Mathematics. It is possible to have a good satisfying career ahead.
                 Maths is one of the few subject where higher you climb steps, the more reasoning and logic is required. There are some factors that we must consider to choose the best course after 12th and first step is to know options available. Hence it is important that students have the following skills while dreaming of career in Mathematics

Key Skills Requirement 
  • Precisely Thinking skill
  • Logical Reasoning Power
  • Mathematical Problem solving Skill

Career In Mathematics
           Mathematics opens the door to bright career. In India mostly teaching career is adopted after graduation or post graduation. Mathematics leads you for a diverse range of career such as Actuaries, Mathematicians, Analysts, Economists, Professors and many more. Apart from teaching, following organisation/ Departments are open for students to have great career in Mathematics stream. These organisations need mathematicians to solve mathematical problems in different research areas of Space, Defence, Aeronautics.

Governmental Organisations opportunities

  • NAL (National Aeronautics Limited)
  • DRDO (Defence Research and Development organisations)
  • ISRO (The Indian Space Research Organisations
Private Industries Opportunities

Bank and Insurance companies are the options for mathematics students as this field revolves around maths and statistics. Mathematicians combine maths and stats to come up with various financial products. Only a skilled mathematician is able to calculate and reason to design complex critical financial models.

IT sector is another good option where they need mathematicians to work in their research sections. every little thing haveing a computerised chip inside, the complexities involved in calculations and design of these things need expert mathematicians at its core.

Biotechnology companies is the newly coming up career option for maths stream. They need students with a strong academic background in Biology and Mathematics for research reasons.


Teaching Field
                           Teaching as a career has always been in demand and we have vacant jobs for specialists in Institutions more than the number of students passing out every year. With the number of Institutions coming up every day we have lack of supply to the surging demand of lecturers/ Professors. teaching is always a good option as the salary package offered are decent from the entry levels to lecturers and professors.
                    Following are institutions that offer great Job/Career opportunities to students with a good Academic background in Mathematics.

  • IITs (Indian Institute Of Technology)
  • IISc (Indian Institute Of Science)
  • DST (Department Of Science and Technology)

Educational Path

After 12th Class
  • B.Sc (Hons)- 4Years course
  • B.Sc - regular- 3Years Course
  • B.Sc (Actuarial Science)

After Graduation
