Mathematics and Computing is a stream that contains concepts of mathematics merged with sophisticated computer science. It is evident that computer science fundamentals are dependent on applied mathematical skills, but in the present syllabus for M.Sc in mathematics and computing, things are not as they used to be.

The table below gives a brief overview of the integrated course in BIT Mesra.

Course introduced in

2011

Total Fees (5 years)

Rs.6.6 Lakhs

Median Salary per annum

Rs.4.8 Lakhs

Average Salary per annum

Rs.6 Lakhs (approx)

Highest Salary per annum

Rs.11 Lakhs

Placement percentage

80% (approx)

Key highlights:

  • According to the present syllabus, fundamentals of Data Structure, Computational Statistics for AI and Machine Learning, Algorithms, etc. are not well developed for computer science graduates due to their weak background in mathematics. 

According to surveys, most students in mathematics don’t have enough concepts built in Information Systems, Computer Architecture, Data Mining, HPSC, Numerical Analysis, Cryptography, and Network Security. These concepts are essential for software design, simulation, and analysis in engineering economics, military, aerospace, etc. The integrated course in Mathematics and computing is the best bridging stream in this scenario, providing an all-in-one knowledge-based syllabus on both mathematical concepts and computer science technologies.

  • Both domains are covered equally in Mathematics and computing, and students can’t choose any one of them in the curriculum.
  • BIT Mesra is a constantly developing institute in this stream, and the students are touching the peak of success through research and placements. Several research projects of avionics, robotics, aerospace, etc have seen the involvement of students from this stream.
  • The placement of maths and computing has a major improvement throughout the years. Having almost negligible count, in the beginning, it has now almost reached an 80% placement rate, with several MNCs offering decent salary packages ranging from 3 LPA to 11 LPA.

Overall, the Mathematics and computing stream, though comparatively newer to the institute, is now under a tremendous rate of progress and is worth opting for.
