In 2013, the department instituted the PhD programme to be guided by a strong team of research oriented academicians all of whom have vast research and teaching experience. The department has the expertise in the following (but not limited to) broad research areas:

• Fuzzy Logics
• Functional Analysis
• Statistical Approximations
• Stochastic Processes
• Graph Theory and its Applications
• Discrete Mathematics
• Swarm Intelligence; Drone Swarm; Optimization; Computational Intelligence; Soft Computing.
• Numerical Analysis
• Singularly Perturbed Problems

• Artin and Coxeter groups

Eligibility

Candidates must have completed a minimum of 17 years of formal education, i.e. 12 years of regular schooling, followed by either a 3-year Bachelor’s degree and a 2-year Master’s degree, or a 4-year Bachelor’s degree and a 1-year Master’s degree in Mathematics, Computer Science, Statistics, Operations Research, Physics, or an equivalent field, with a minimum aggregate of 55% marks or an equivalent grade.

Candidates with 4-year Bachelor degree in the subject are also eligible for admission to PhD programme provided they have secured a minimum of 80% marks or equivalent grade.
