Hi. Congratulations on having finished engineering. I am not an IIM Bangalore grad so I will not be able to tell what exactly is needed for IIM Bangalore, but to get into an IIM, you have to ace CAT, which means you have to get a score of at least 99.70 percentile (in each section to be sure) to have a good chance of getting an interview call. Interview calls are subjective because a candidate's profile is screened which includes your 10th, 12th and graduation marks and work experience if any. If you make their cut for all these parameters, you will be called for an interview process (which may have a few more steps like WAT or GD or GE). All the best.

Hi
Mathematics has lot of scope specially if you acquire the skills in data analytics. A trained mathematician can be very well employed apart from in the field of education. Government departments engaged in space research (the Indian Space Research Organisation, or ISRO), defence research (Defence Research and Development Organisation, or DRDO), aeronautical research (National Aeronautics Limited, or NAL), all employ mathematicians to solve their special problems. Today, cryptology is in vogue (the systems ensuring the safety of your credit card transactions are based on some very sophisticated mathematics). Organisations such as the DRDO and the Society for Electronic Transactions and Security (SETS) are interested in mathematicians with training in this area. Financial mathematics is another area that leads to well-paid jobs. Computer giants such as IBM and Microsoft have research departments which have highly paid scientists who are either mathematicians or theoretical computer scientists.
Just equip yourself with masters and move ahead.
