Department of Mathematics was established in 1975and has always shared the vision of the institute in striving for excellence in teaching and research activities and got autonomous status in the year 1988. The department of Mathematics offering mathematics as one of the subject in the under graduate programs B.A (E.M.S), B.Sc (M.P.C), B.Sc (M.P.Cs) B.Sc (CA.M.S) B.Sc (M.E.Cs) B.Sc (M.S.Cs) B.Sc(M.S.Ds), B.Sc(CAME), B.Sc.(AI &ML), B.Sc.(CSCS) and BCA. The program B.Sc. Honours(Mathematics) was introduced from the academic year 2023-24.

The two year (four semesters) Post Graduate programme M.Sc. Mathematics introduced in the academic year 1990-91, aimed to train the students in all the basic fields of Mathematics and Computer Science. The courses have been designed in such a way that the student can opt for a career in software industry/teaching/research. The department has a computer laboratory and all necessary facilities needed for Mathematics.

The department also recognized as a research centre in 2005 to supervise M.Phil and Ph.D Programmes. So far, 6 Ph.D’s and 5 M.Phils were awarded under the guidance of faculty of the department.
