The Department of Mathematics, IIT Roorkee offers a 5-year Integrated Master of Science program in Applied Mathematics, which was conceived in the year 2007. The program covers all the basic courses in pure mathematics, along with courses in Applied mathematics that include Fluid dynamics, Operations research, Theory of Elasticity, Graph theory etc. A new, more mathematically oriented syllabus was put in place, beginning 2013. Students may also opt for an exchange program with many universities for a semester. Undergraduate research in the department is being propelled forward by students and professors alike. Students are given ample opportunities to participate in workshops, summer research internships, winter schools, etc. A CGPA of above 6 merits the INSPIRE scholarship, where the student receives 60,000 Rs per annum to aid their scientific pursuits. Several software companies and consultancy services like Goldman Sachs, Oracle, Microsoft and Royal Bank of Scotland that open for Computer Science recruit students from IMSc as well every year. Students also choose careers off the beaten track, such as in Teach for India and some have capitalized on their entrepreneurial streak to open interesting startups.
