M.Math is quite thorough in different ways, it is best not to end up opting for it without vital information. As a brief interpretation, you really do not require programming skills to further opt for the M.Math course. 

• A very intensive knowledge of linear algebra, real analysis, and basic abstract algebra is required prior to joining the M.Math course. Despite that, the course is very challenging. 
• The academic background does not necessarily affect the course you are about to take up. There are students who arrive from an engineering background. 
• It is best to go through the coursework of Mathematics and decide whether or not you are inclined towards it or not. 

M.Math students usually secure placements at a variety of companies, but achieving that howsoever is extremely difficult. Thus, choose only if you are confident. 

My brother appeared in the written test for MSc Cognitive Sciences in February 2020. So, I can give you some insight about the same. 

The written test analyses your comprehensive skills i.e. the ability to implement the things you read. The section will contain comprehension questions. It will also include some of the paragraphs or questions based on the Cognitive Science Journals. 

Examination Pattern:

The written test is the same for everyone. 

• It contains 4 questions of comprehensive type and 1 of data interpretation. 
• The total marks for the examination are 25 and the duration is 1 hour. 

Preparation Tips:

• For preparation, you can simply take some random comprehensive type question off the internet and solve it. 
• In his examination, my brother had passages from pathophysiology of neurodegenerative disorders, case-studies on behavioral experiments using VR/AR, etc. 
• The questions are designed in a way that everyone can interpret them.

Be patient and stay motivated. All the best for your exam. 

South Asian University is a central funded government university. According to my friend studying there, It is not only an exceptional university in India but only one among the records of international universities in the world.

• This international university was established by a member of the SAARC.
• It was a dream project of Dr. Man Mohan Singh which he had proposed in the 13th SAARC summit held in Dhaka.
• It was later in the 14th summit that the establishment of this university was decided to be held in India.
• It provides courses of Applied Math, Biotechnology, Computer Science, Development Economics, International relations, Sociology, and Legal Studies.
• Its permanent campus is under construction in Maidan Garhi, Delhi while being operated from Akbar Bhawan, Chanakyapuri.
• SAARC consists of 8 countries which are India, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
• Therefore, the degree given by the university is recognized by the UGC of all 8 countries.
• The tag of SAARC attached would benefit your career in foreign countries as well.

SAU has its own limitations as it is a new university. SAU is yet to be known among the scholarly and creating its name. Due to its less popularity, the entrance competition is not very tough. However, students prefer IITs, DU, and JNU for their post-graduate studies ignoring the high-level facilities provided at SAU.

BITS is known worldwide these days for its academic culture and its off-the-charts placements. According to some of my friends studying there, M.Sc courses are some of the best courses available in BITS and all its branches.

• M.Sc is excellent at BITS Goa and they offer lots of job and research opportunities.
• With the tag of BITS, it will be very easy for students to pursue their further studies such as Ph.D., Hons. from top universities across the globe.
• The academic knowledge and exposure they would receive from the course in BITS Goa are really valuable.
• BITS Goa has an excellent team of Physics and professionals in their line of the field.
• If topics such as quantum physics, quantum mechanics, waves, and black holes spark your interest then M.Sc. in physics would be a very good option for you.
• BITS is also known for having world-class labs that are equipped with the latest and high-tech tools for the betterment of the students.
• BITS Goa has collaborations and tie-ups with some of the leading institutes of the world and students get a chance in foreign students exchange programs.

M.Sc in physics, chemistry, or Maths won’t certainly give you the placement you wish for but it will still be good. Placements in M.Sc PCMB are great when the student gets CSE as the engineering branch in the next few years. Also, M.Sc in Economics is very good when it comes to placements and does not depend on the branch you will be getting in the 2nd year based on your CGPA.
