Department of Mathematics

General Information

About the Department

The department of Mathematics of Netaji Subhas University of Technology (formerly Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology) was established in the year 1983 under the School of Applied Sciences and later became an independent department in December 2013. The department offers a postgraduate course of M.Sc. in Mathematics and Ph.D program in various areas of research. The department also supports all the Engineering and Science departments by offering core and advance courses in Mathematics at the undergraduate B.Tech. and post -graduate level.

The department has always been on a progressive path due to its experienced and dedicated faculty members who have a strong commitment towards providing quality Mathematics education and research. At present, the department has a total 15 faculty members who are working in diverse research areas of Mathematics and are granted with several research projects from funding agencies.
