i. Outline About the Department
The Department of Mathematics starts along with the inception of NIT Agartala in 2006 with the up gradation of erstwhile Tripura Engineering College (TEC). TEC had been a revered Institute in the field of Engineering and Technology since its inceptions in 1965. The Institute (TEC &NIT Agartala) has already completed its glorious fifty years of its journey, in 2014. The Department of Mathematics is motivated towards excellence in research and teaching and has accomplished in this venture continuously over the time to a large extent. Initially, the department catered the need of teaching Engineering Mathematics to the undergraduate students. In 2010 the Department made a big stride in the way of starting its M.Sc. in Mathematics program. Further expansion of the Department in the form of opening BSMS, a 5 years dual degree course in 2014 was really a milestone in the history of the Department. Since then, it started functioning as a full-fledged department in true sense. At present, the Department is offering M.Sc course in Mathematics and Computing; BSMS (5 years dual degree course) in Mathematics and BSMS (5 years dual degree course) in Mathematics and Computing; Ph.D. Programs in Mathematics (Pure & Applied) apart from helping the Engineering and Management Departments in the way of offering Engineering Mathematics, Operations Research(OR), Numerical Analysis to under graduate and post graduate engineering students.

About the Faculty Members
The Department has highly qualified faculty members consisting of Five  (5) no  Professors , Thirteen (13) no of  Assistant Professors,  and One (1) no of  Lab Assistant. In their pursuit of research the faculty members are doing an extensive study in vast and diverse fields relating to Topological Space, Nature-inspired Optimization Techniques, Inventory management (Operations Research), De-Novo Programming Problem, Multi-Criteria Decision-Making, Fuzzy Control System, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Biomathematics, Graph theory, ODE & PDE , Super-symmetric Quantum Mechanics, Water Wave Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Convection, Numerical Methods, Neural Network, Wireless Network, Image Processing etc.

A Brief Insight
• Energetic, highly motivated and academically sound young faculties and research scholars.
• Dynamic involvement in academic and administrative tasks.
• Contributing towards research on contemporary subject areas.
• Authored books, book chapters and published their research works as patents.
• Very frequently all faculties of our Department visit various venerated universities/Institutes in India and abroad in order to present their research papers in conferences and to attend in Workshops, Schools and for doing collaborative research works.
• In academic year 2019-20 total 96(approx) research papers have been published in reputed national and international peer-reviewed journals with high impact factor.

About the Courses
The Mathematics Department offers Two  2-years (4 Semester) PG courses, viz. 

1. M.Sc. in Mathematics and Computing   with an initial intake capacity of 30 students. A syllabus revision workshop was organized by the Department, for up-gradation of syllabus for this PG level program.

2. M.Sc. in Mathematics and Data Science is a multidisciplinary postgraduate programme proposed by the Department of Mathematics, NIT Agartala, from the academic session 2026–27. The programme is designed to combine the strong theoretical foundations of mathematics with modern techniques in data science, machine learning, and computational analytics.

The course aims to equip students with advanced knowledge in areas such as:

•  Mathematical Foundations for Data Science
• Numerical Linear Algebra
• Algorithmic Graph Theory
• Data Mining and Data Visualization
• Mathematics of Machine Learning
• Tensor Computations for Data Science
• Algorithms and Data Structures
•  Randomized Algorithms
• Scientific Computing using Python and MATLAB  

The curriculum emphasizes both theoretical understanding and practical implementation through laboratory courses, mini projects, capstone projects, industrial training, and research-oriented project work.

The course follows the NEP-based structure with flexibility for electives, skill enhancement, and interdisciplinary learning.

The Mathematics Department also offers Two 5-years (10 semester) UG-PG courses, viz.

3.  BS-MS Dual Degree Program in Mathematics and Computing with initial intake capacity of 40 students.

4. BTMT in Computational Mathematics with initial intake capacity of 25 students. 

This Dual Degree Program encourages and persuades the students to grasp in-depth knowledge and also widens their career opportunities. On completion of higher degree from this institute, a few of students qualify for some competitive exams like NET, GATE, SET, TOEFL, GRE etc. in every year for which our faculty members devote themselves in imparting special coaching to students who aspire to qualify the exams. Some fellows join Ph.D. career as full time researchers at reputed universities or Institutes in India and abroad.

The Department offers collaborative and interdisciplinary Ph.D. programs in Mathematics admitting both full time and part time research scholars.
