Diverse teaching methods adopted

Department caters to Science students as well as Commerce students. Therefore diverse teaching methods are adopted depending on the need and size of the class.

Regular tutorial classes held  in smaller batches for Science as well as Commerce students

During these tutorial sessions students are encouraged to make presentations on various topics.
Problem solving sessions are held.

Remedial sessions are held with students who find it difficult to cope with the subject

M3 Contest  
A splendid annual quiz contest - M3, which signifies a competition for the title of Math Muscle Man, is an hour long Math quiz contest organized by the department. 

Mathemight
An intercollegiate academic event, a glorious and regular feature of the department of Mathematics. Highlight of the event is paper presentation by undergraduate students of Mathematics on the theme “Surprises in mathematics and their application.”   



The department encourages students to participate in intercollegiate competitions 

Mathematics department is happy to announce that one of its students Mr. Aditya Garg bagged the third rank among the top sixteen students from Pune and Mumbai Region in the Madhava Mathematics Competition held on 3rd Jan, 2010.
