The MSc Applied Mathematics programme was started in the year 1975. The objective of this programme is to acquaint the students with various principles of Mathematics and train them to build & administer mathematical models to the problems in science and technology. This programme is also designed to expose the students to the various development and the applications of software, catering to the needs of the industries and R&D sectors. The programme is a perfect blend of Pure and Applied Mathematics with supporting laboratory courses to strengthen the knowledge of the students Programme follows meticulously planned curriculum based on Choice Based Credit System, updated regularly to meet the challenging requirements of the industry. The programme comprises a mini-project and a major project. The mini - project is to be done during the summer vacation at the end of the second semester. A six month major project is taken in the final semester at research institutions or software industries, thereby enabling them to have an opportunity to work in challenging environment. MSc Applied Mathematics alumni are well placed in top - notch industries, reputed academic institutions and research labs.
As per the Government Order, this programme is equivalent to M.Sc (Mathematics) for the purpose of employment in public services and higher studies. ( Click here to view the GO )
Candidates for admission to the M.Sc. Applied Mathematics are required to have a pass in B.Sc.

Applied Mathematics gave me immense opportunities and exposed me to technical capabilities that Industries need. I was able to bag a job that would suit myself through enough guidance from Alumni and Professors. To all those who’d want to see themselves in research, there are abundant opportunities. The subjects of the course have been updated every year on a par with the technological trends.

My time at the PSG College of Technology for MSc Applied Mathematics has been an unforgettable experience. It was a place where I received high-quality education and was able to grow both personally and professionally. One of the things that struck me the most about PSG was the faculty. The professors were not only knowledgeable and experienced in their fields, but also approachable and passionate about teaching. They went out of their way to ensure that we understood the concepts and were able to apply them to real-world problems. The curriculum was rigorous, but it was designed to prepare us for the challenges of the real world and showed me how mathematics can be applied to solve real-world problems. The course gave opportunities for research and practical experience. The faculty encouraged us to participate in research projects and internships, giving us the chance to apply what we had learned in the classroom to real-world scenarios. The final semester internship during my course was a pivotal moment in my academic journey. It played a significant role in shaping my career. The education I received has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to succeed in my career, while the experiences I had have helped me grow as an individual.

Applied Mathematics is one of the finest course in the PSG College of Technology.In TamilNadu only few colleges having this course, were many unaware of it. The "Applied Mathematics" course seems to have only maths to deal with, but its not as all think of it, the course actually deals with other technology too especially computer oriented languages,programming,etc. Even myself thought the same once I heard the course name. Later I felt its a unique course with the combination of Maths and Computer syllabus which adhere to the current technology and providing the practice to the students by experienced staffs.
