ADBU M.Sc Mathematics: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

The Master of Science in Mathematics at Assam Don Bosco University (ADBU), Guwahati, is a 2-year (4-semester) full-time postgraduate programme offered under the School of Fundamental and Applied Sciences, Department of Mathematics, at the Tapesia Campus. The programme is designed to prepare students for careers in teaching and research, with the first year structured to help students qualify for national-level examinations such as CSIR-NET, GATE, and SET/SLET. The second year introduces specialisation courses in Theoretical Mathematics, Applicable Mathematics, or Computational Mathematics, along with a Research Project. With a seat intake of 40 students, the total course fee is approximately Rs. 2,64,000 (based on the 2025 fee structure; 2026 fees may vary slightly). M.Sc Mathematics is a popular choice for students aiming for academic careers, data science, finance, and research roles.

Admissions for the 2026 batch are currently open (as of April 2026). Applications can be submitted online at erp.dbuniversity.ac.in. The application fee is Rs. 600. Admission is based on merit in the qualifying examination and a personal interview conducted by the university. Batch commencement is expected in July/August 2026, in line with the university's standard academic calendar.

Key Points

• The programme offers three distinct specialisations from Semester III: Theoretical Mathematics (Field Theory, Number Theory, Algebraic Geometry), Applicable Mathematics (Fluid Dynamics, Game Theory, Theory of Relativity), and Computational Mathematics (Scientific Computing, Machine Learning, Cryptography, Finite Element Methods).
• The Computational Mathematics specialisation uniquely includes Machine Learning and Introduction to Cryptography, making it highly relevant for careers in data science, cybersecurity, and fintech.
• Computer Programming in C is included in Semester III, ensuring all students gain programming skills regardless of their chosen specialisation.
• The first year curriculum is specifically designed to cover topics tested in CSIR-NET (Mathematical Sciences) and GATE (Mathematics - MA), giving students a competitive edge in national examinations.
• A Research Project in Semester IV develops research skills and prepares students for doctoral studies or academic careers.
