Hello friends,
I completed my BE in biomedical engineering from LD College, Gujarat in 2011-2015.
Now I am in MSc in mathematics & scientific computing at NIT-Warangal (2015-2017 batch).
If you are a BE or B.Tech student and want to go in mathematics than it is not much difficult task.
JAM(Joint Admission test for MSc) is very useful for us. If you qualify JAM then you can get admission in IISc, most IITs, few NITs, and and some CFTIs.
Few IITs have eligibility criteria of requiring BSc with Major.
Most of IITs need only four sem study of mathematics which we generally study in our BE or BTech. (Operations research, Numerical Methods etc… also counts in mathematical subject. Just in case you are worrying if you have studied math only for three sems)
Now if u do Math of BSc level nicely then you should also give CSIR-NET-JRF exam. If you qualify this exam then after BE/BTech no need to do MSc. Directly go for PHd . During your phd from any institute, CSIR will give you Rs 25000(+30% of 25000 as HRA) per month for first two year of phd and 28000 per month afterward for three year.
JAM exam brochure give you all required details…
Other Useful exams are CMI, TIFR, ISI, NBHM, GATE etc…
How to prepare for this exams : See other posts on this blog.
Wish you good luck friends

If you ask your questions here in comment section then my answer will be helpful not only to you but others also.
Why not to give both exams? For GATE you need MSc level maths. If you BSc level maths is good then you can qualify GATE. But with GATE you will directly get admission in PhD and not in MSc.

Since last two year, CCMN portal has changed their portal and not allowing Btech students to add choices… In my time I was able to add choices. If u look at brochure of JAM, many IITs ask 4sam study of math, and they are not any specific on that. So IITs will not reject you.

Sir, have you witnessed any such case earlier. What may be the reason. I chose those courses and closing ranks for those courses were between 350 to 500. Still they didn’t allot me seat there. I have heard they check those eligibility criteria only after admission. So, its highly unlikely that they didn’t allot me seat because of not studying maths for 4 sem.
