Department of Mathematical Sciences
Department of Mathematical Sciences began its journey as a section to assist engineering departments of the institute which, in the true sense, pioneered engineering education in the Indian Nation.It soon acquired the status of a full-fledged department in 1985.Its importance lies in the fact that it caters to the needs of the undergraduate as well as post-graduate students of the Institute.In addition, the department runs its own 5 year Integrated Dual Degree course in Mathematics & Computing.
Academic Programmes
- Dual Degree (IDD)
-
This is a new programme started in the year 2005.The programme imparts the necessary knowledge of numerical and computational techniques, various topics in computer science, mathematical modelling, simulation, probabilistic and statistical tools and trains students to develop their own computer software for several applications which they may come across in their professional career. Some of the typical courses in the programme are computer architecture, computer graphics, image processing, DBMS, programming languages, compiler design, theory of automata, parallel algorithms,optimization methods and applications, statistical methods and algorithms, neural computing, computer graphics and visualization,cryptography etc.
The objectives of the programme are to train students to handle problems in industries and government organizations through the combined use of mathematical and computer techniques. The department runs a 5 Year Integrated Dual Degree programme which is one of the most sought after programmes offered by the institute. The top jobs in terms of annual package are offered for this programme, which is a strong indication how popular and useful the programme is for the industrial growth in general and software industry in particular under present circumstances.
- Ph.D.
- Ph.D. Program offers an exciting and unique opportunity to students for pursuing research in several areas of Mathematical Sciences. Check out the faculty research page for details of research areas and faculty involved.. Admission is made twice a year in January and July. Only NET and GATE qualified individuals are eligible for the admission. The admission in Ph.D Programme also takes place under QIP.

Announcements
The Department of Chemistry, IIT-BHU, previously known as Department of Applied Chemistry (Institute of Technology), was established in the year 1985. Earlier this Department was functioning as a Section in the School of Basic Sciences in Banaras Hindu University-Varanasi. This Department currently consists of 15 faculty members including 05 Professors, 01 Associate Professors, and 09 Assistant Professors. The prime responsibilities of the department are:
- The teaching of the B. Tech. Part I Chemistry course.
- Teaching and running the 5 year M.Tech (Industrial Chemistry) Dual Degree and 2 year M.Sc. Chemistry programmes.
- Cutting edge research in various thrust areas of chemistry leading to state of the art PhD's.
Till 2013, the Department of Chemistry offered a five-year integrated M. Tech program in Industrial Chemistry. In 2014, this programme was converted into M. Tech Dual Degree in Industrial Chemistry. The Ph. D programme in Chemistry has been running in the department right from its inception. About 125 PhD's have been awarded from this department and more than 70 students are currently pursuing their research. Research programmes in the department have been supported by funding agencies like DST, CSIR, BRNS, UGC and AICTE etc. The department has received 85 lakhs from DST-FIST for the establishment of research and teaching facilities. The central instrumentation laboratories of the department are presently equipped with sophisticated instruments including AAS, AFM, UV-Vis spectrophotometers, FT-IR, and powder-XRD, AFM, Table Top NMR and DLS (Particle Size Analyzer) etc.
