M.Phil. (Mathematics)

M.Phil. Mathematics: Syllabus

M.Phil. Mathematics is one to two years course and has 2 to 4 semesters depending on the colleges. While famous colleges like Delhi University, JNU, Jamia Islamia University have a two years degree with a 4-semester program, while Amity University of Applied Sciences, Kurukshetra Univeroffersoffer students with one-year degree program with two semesters.

The first part requires students to choose 4 coursework out of the offered courses and they are evaluated at the end of the First semester.

The Second year or second semesters for a one year program comprises purely of a dissertation prepared by the student through research. Thus, a topic of research is chosen as per the student’s interest.

The course delivery methods in the program include discussions, presentations, classroom performance, assignments, attendance and seminars.

Scheme of Assessment

In M.Phil. Mathematics, the scheme of assessment is based on the written test, the internal assessment, viva-voce as well as dissertation which comprises more than half of the marks. The students are examined out of 300 marks for the entire coursework.

The final weight age for each of these parameters is given below:

Part I

Examination Marks Allotted
Theory 75
Internal Assessment 25

Part II

Examination Marks Allotted
Dissertation 150
Viva-Voce 50
