I got AIR 1410 in IIT JAM Mathematics. Which IITs are the best options for me if I want to do M.Sc in Pure Mathematics?
An AIR of 1410 in IIT JAM Mathematics does not get you through premier IITs such as Bomb, Kanpur, Madras, and Delhi because they have a very low closing rank. However, it gives a good opportunity for newer IITs like IIT Indore, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Gandhinagar, and maybe even IIT Bhilai or IIT Palakka
Hello Learner.
