Rank of Best Math Colleges and Universities in India, 2025

Join Trial or Access Free Resources

What is Math Rank?

We found the best mathematics and statistics departments in Indian colleges & universities. Math Ranks are prepared at Cheenta Academy, Kolkata. Cheenta is an institute of Olympiad, Research & Leadership programs for outstanding school students.

In this document we have ranked Mathematics and Statistics departments at colleges and universities based on faculty strength (qualification, international exposure), publication in past one year, frequency of seminars - symposiums and reputation.

Why TIFR, IMSc are not in the list?

We looked at organizations offering undergraduate programs. TIFR and IMSc. do not fit that description. Nevertheless they are among best places of mathematical research in the country.

Read with Caution

We have compiled research activities, seminars and faculty strength carefully. However this process is not error-free. We welcome (and infact need) more input from colleges and universities to improve this list.

You may send your suggestions to helpdesk@cheenta.in.

The sole purpose of this document is to assist students in high school to choose colleges and universities at the undergraduate level.

Understand

The top 50 institutions are ranked in 5 Levels based on research intensity and reputation. However the institutes inside each level are not “ranked” per-se. For example Chennai Mathematical Institute and Indian Statistical Institute are both in Level 1. We have avoided ranking one ahead of the other.

  1. Dear sir, there is a lot of error in that list, please Modify the list IIT's can't be ahead of Tifr,cmi,isi,imsc.
    And I think you definitely know the class level at IIT and at isi,cmi.
