Course Content

Course Content for M.A./M.Sc. (Part I): There are five papers and all are compulsory: Paper I- Algebra I, Paper II-Analysis I, Paper III-Topology, Paper IV-Complex Analysis, Paper V- Combinatorics.
The syllabus can be obtained from the Office of the Department of Mathematics.
There will be four lectures of one hour duration for each paper in a week. The classes are conducted in two batches between 9 A.M. to 2 P.M.

Course Content for M.A./M.Sc. (Part II): There are three compulsory papers and two optional papers for M.A./M.Sc. (Part II). Compulsory papers:Paper I- Algebra II, Paper II- Analysis II, Paper III- Differential Geometry.
The list of optional papers can be found in the syllabus of M.A./M.Sc. (Part II). The classes are conducted between 9 A.M. to 3.30 P.M.

Examination (Internal Scheme)

• During the course of the academic year, there will be two tests of 30 marks each in every paper. The marks of these tests are added up as the internal assessment marks out of the total of 60 marks per paper.

• At the end of the academic year, in the month of April, there will be a final examination of 40 marks in each paper.

• The result is declared by adding the internal assessment marks and the final examination marks of each paper. Thus marks of each paper is out of a total of 100 marks.

• To pass the M.A./M.Sc. (Part I & Part II) examinations, the candidate must secure (i) at least 25 marks in each paper out of 100 marks, (ii) at least 10 marks in each paper out of 40 marks in the final examination and (iii) at least 200 marks out of the grand total of 500 marks of all the five papers.

• The candidates who have failed in M.A./M.Sc. (Part I, Part II) examinations can take the supplementary examination held in the next academic year, in the month of June .

• There is a provision for not having the marks of the final examination declared in case the student wishes to improve the marks in th supplementary examination. An application for not having the results declared unless the marks obtained are above the expectation (to be mentioned explicitly) has to be made within seven days of the last day of the examination.

• If a student after passing the M.A./M.Sc. ( Part II) examination wishes to improve the results he/she may reappear for the examination in all the ten papers of Part I and Part II under the external scheme (Scheme A).

Ramakant Muzumdar Commemorative Lecture Series

Born in the year 1918 at the close of first world war, Shri Ramakant Muzumdar had an outstanding career winning widely varied distinctions like gold medal for proficiency in Sanskrit and later the much coveted Tripos in the hallowed portals of the Cambridge University in United Kingdom.

He was working on the internal ballistics and thermodynamics of guns in the Royal arsenal at Woolwich before he returned home to join the Indian Ordinance Factories as an Assistant Works Manager. He entered the Organisation when the country had just become independent. Shri Muzumdar had various successful assignments in the Headquarters and the factories and eventually rose to become the Director General in the year 1965. He held this post with distinction until his retirement in 1976.

Shri Muzumdar had deep and profound interest in Mathematics.

Ramakant Muzumdar Commemorative Lecture Series is made possible through a generous donation of grant by Ms. Hema Muzumdar, the widow of late Ramakant Muzumdar. The lecture series is conducted by the Department of Mathematics, University of Mumbai every academic year and carries an honorarium of Rs. 2000/ to the speaker.

Past speakers in this lecture series have been professor K.R. Parthasarathy, Professor Pavman Murthy, professor M.S. Ragunathan, professor M.S. Narasimhan, professor A. Katok, professor R. Parimala, professor B. Weiss, professor S. Ramanan, professor L. Batten, professor M.G. Nadkarni, professor P. Deligne, professor Madhav V. Nori, professor R. Langlands, professor Adimurthy, professor S.G. Dani.

The candidates who have passed NET/SET examination or completed M.Phil. degree as per UGC guidelines shall submit their application at Office of the University Department of Mathematics with a fee of Rs. 100/ (cash) for admission to the Ph.D. programme during the specified period of the year. These candidates are referred to as 'PET exempt candidates'.

The candidates who do not have the above qualifications are required to take the Ph.D. Entrance Test (Mathematics) (PET) conducted twice a year by the Controller of Examinations. The applications for PET are submitted at the Thesis section of the University at Fort Campus along with a demand draft of Rs. 1000/ (Rs. 500/ for candidates belonging to the reserve category) payable to 'Finance & Accounts Officer of the University of Mumbai'. These application forms can downloaded from the website of the University. The 'PET exempt candidates' can also use the same application from for convenience.

The candidates who have passed the PET with a minimum of 50% marks shall submit their application with a fee of Rs. 100/ (cash) at Office of the University Department of Mathematics for admission to the Ph.D. programme during the specified period within 3 years of declaration of PET result. They will be called for the interview along with the PET exempt candidates. The list of successful candidates will be put up on the Notice Board of the University Department of Mathematics.

The candidates who have qualified in the interview can enroll for the Ph.D. course work. The candidates with M.Phil. degree who have qualified in the interview are exempted from the course work. After completion of the course work, the candidates shall submit the 'Topic Approval Form' forwarded through the research guide for consideration of RRC. The Topic Approval Form contains the reserch proposal of the candidate amongst other details. After receiving the approval of the RRC, the candidate shall submit the Ph.D. Registration Form at the University Department of Mathematics. The Ph.D. thesis can be submitted to the thesis section for evaluation after a period of two years from the date of Ph.D. registration.
