IITs vs NITs is a big debate in our country. While every science scholar wants to get into IITs, NITs are the next big place to get the technical and science degree. There are total 31 NITs with approx. 18K seats in various courses.

M.Sc. is a very lesser known course offered by these NITs. After qualifying IIT JAM 2019 Exam, a candidate can apply for 20 National Institute of Technologies (NITs).

Here’s the list of total seats under M.Sc. in NITs through JAM, some of these provide 5-year integrated M.Sc. in NITs too:

Other than this, there are some seats in NIT M.Sc. Admission which are offered through other Entrance Exams. In this blog, we’ll discuss about the NIT Entrance Exams for M.Sc. 2018-19, list of courses, and admission procedure.

At the end of this blog, you’d be able to take an informed decision regarding your Post graduation in NIT.

NIT M.Sc. Entrance Exams:

The well-established NITs like NIT Calicut, Trichy and Warangal hold their own M.Sc. Entrance Exams. Some of these exams are to fill vacant seats while others are for admission to specialized M.Sc. programmes.

NIT Trichy:

For M.Sc. Computer Science, Physics and Chemistry, NIT Trichy conducts an entrance exam. The entrance test for all the M.Sc. programmes will be conducted in June month (from 10.30 a.m. to 12.00 p.m.) at NIT Tiruchirappalli itself. The admit cards for the exam are uploaded separately.

NIT Warangal:

Candidates who are looking for the NIT Warangal M.Sc. Admission in masters programmes for Mathematics, Engineering Physics [M.Sc. Tech.] and Chemistry can apply through an entrance exam held by NIT Warangal.

Admissions into various M.Sc. programs at NITW for 2018 academic year will be based on JAM 2018 test being conducted by IITB. Hence the aspirants for M.Sc. program at NITW are required to register and take part in JAM 2019 for M.Sc. admissions.

Best NIT for M.Sc. Mathematics:

NITs are not the most preferred places for M.Sc. Mathematics. Mathematics Departments in the NIT colleges lag somewhat in comparison to the other engineering branches. But if you are still interested in NIT M.Sc. courses for Maths. Here goes the list:

NIT Warangal NIT Trichy

We’d rather suggest you apply for ISI, Kolkata or IISERs for M.Sc. mathematics where you can get better learning of advanced role of statistics and mathematics in solving critical problems. Other recommended colleges are TIFR, CMI, Chennai.

We’ve put together an exhaustive list to help make the decision easier for all aspiring candidates. Although NITs have the same value as a new set up IIT; the brand value, campus life and placements of these NITs are far superior. The older and more established NITs like those in Surathkal, Trichy, Warangal, and Calicut are a lot better than the most of the IITs. We hope you won’t just go behind the prestigious IIT “tag”, but the overall career aspect that an institute offers.
