Dear student,

A B.Sc. in Mathematics from Mumbai University or top colleges in Mumbai can definitely be a good choice, especially if you plan to go for higher studies or build a career in analytical fields.

Math graduates are often hired in sectors like finance, data analysis, software, teaching, and research. Many students use this degree as a stepping stone for further education—like M.Sc., MBA, MCA, Actuarial Science, or even Data Science courses.

Colleges like St. Xavier’s, Mithibai, NMIMS, and Ruia College have strong academic reputations and decent placement support. At top institutes, packages can go up to Rs.8–12 LPA, especially if you develop skills beyond the classroom.

That said, entry-level jobs after just a B.Sc. might not offer very high salaries compared to engineering or management. But with the right focus, your options grow with time—especially if you’re strong in maths and analytical thinking.

Hello Usha,

Yes, students without Mathematics are eligible to apply to BMS at St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai. However, admission is not solely based on merit. The college has its own entrance exam called the St. Xavier's BMS Entrance Test (XAT), and that is compulsory for all applicants. The final selection to the course is based on the scores in both the entrance test and 12th class Board Examination, irrespective of whether the student took the subject of Mathematics.

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, Applied Mathematics is available as an optional subject with Commerce stream in CBSE and some state boards. It is introduced specifically for students who don’t opt for core Mathematics but want practical math applications related to commerce, economics, and social sciences.

It’s suitable for students planning careers in fields like management, finance, economics, or business studies.

All the best for your studies.

Your daughter can still get admission if she clears her maths compartment by the first week of August. While she may miss the main JoSAA rounds, she can participate in the CSAB special rounds held later in August. With 90 percentile, she has a fair chance in decent colleges, especially if she belongs to a reserved category. Be ready with her documents once the result is out.

To effectively prepare for the 2nd PU board math exam in one month, focus on consistent practice, targeted revision, and understanding core concepts. Prioritize understanding formulas and practicing problems from the NCERT textbook. Supplement your learning with previous year's question papers and sample papers, and dedicate time for revision and clarifying doubts.

Dear student,

If you’ve passed 5 out of 6 subjects in your Class 12th and only received RT (Repeat Theory) in Maths, which is your additional subject, then you are still considered as having passed according to CBSE rules. As Maths is not a core subject in your commerce stream, it usually won’t affect your eligibility for most courses at Delhi University, especially if it is not counted in your best of four/five percentage. Generally it won't be counted as your best of five/four as you have passed in the other subjects so automatically it will become your sixth subject. You should be able to fill out the CSAS (Common Seat Allocation System) portal for DU without any problem. If Maths is not required for your preferred course, you’re good to go.

Good luck!
