Established in the year 1984, the Department of Mathematics offers Mathematics courses to students pursuing the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degrees from the institution. In the year 2013, on the directions of the Himachal Pradesh University, the department started offering a bachelor's degree in arts and science with Mathematics as a major or minor subject under the choice-based credit system. After the adoption of the UGC-based Choice Based Credit System by the Himachal Pradesh University, the programme structure and curriculum of the department underwent major changes in the year 2016. The curriculum of the department was again changed in the year 2018, with Himachal Pradesh University shifting from a semester to an annual system. At present, the Department of Mathematics offers an undergraduate programme of Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) with Mathematics as a major or minor subject. The courses offered by the Department of Mathematics inculcate employability skills and enhance the critical thinking and cognitive skills of the students, by integrating values and entrepreneurial skill.
At present, more than 400 students, from both the arts and science streams, are enrolled in the department. All students registered in the department who have Mathematics as a major or minor subject of study are eligible to join the department's active subject society “Kotshera Mathematics Society (KES)”. The KES organizes competitions, seminars, and workshops on current mathematical issues for students.
During graduation, the students are also encouraged to undertake small research-based assignments. With the assistance of committed faculty members, the department strives for excellence in teaching, learning, and research. The department's faculty members work very hard to maintain good academic record. Additionally, they actively participate in the publication of research papers, faculty development programs, orientation programs, seminars, conferences, etc., in addition to providing the institution with full involvement, dedication, and commitment in a variety of capacities.
