J.C. Bose University to introduce B.Tech in Mathematics and Computer Science from next Academic Year: VC Prof. Rajive Kumar

In a significant step to promote interdisciplinary education in mathematics and emerging technologies, J.C. Bose University of Science and Technology, YMCA, Faridabad, will introduce a new undergraduate programme, B.Tech in Mathematics and Computer Science, starting from the upcoming Academic Session. 

This forward-looking initiative was announced by Vice Chancellor Prof. Rajive Kumar while addressing the Mathematics Festival-2026 organized by the Department of Mathematics to mark the 138th birth anniversary of legendary mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan.

Expressing concern over the declining admissions in postgraduate mathematics courses, Prof. Rajive Kumar emphasized the urgent need to engage both undergraduate and postgraduate students in high-quality research and to prioritize the publication of impactful research papers. He highlighted that the new B.Tech programme aims to bridge mathematics with cutting-edge computer science applications, preparing students for emerging career opportunities in data science, artificial intelligence, cryptography, and computational research.

The event, held in the spirit of National Mathematics Day, featured expert lectures, cultural performances, and student competitions. It was inaugurated by the Vice Chancellor along with Chief Guest Dr. B.K. Dass, Professor (Retd.) from University of Delhi, Guest of Honour Prof. Rashmi Bhardwaj, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Dean (Sciences), Prof. Anuradha Sharma, Chairperson (Mathematics) Prof. Neetu Gupta, and Director (R&D) Prof. Manisha Garg.

Professor Neetu Gupta, Chairperson of the Department of Mathematics, highlighted that mathematics extends well beyond textbooks as a vital tool for tackling real-world challenges. She presented Maths Fest 2026 as an engaging platform to display students’ analytical skills alongside their creativity and presentation talents through three competitions: Rangoli (celebrating mathematical symmetry and patterns in art), Poster Making (visualizing mathematical concepts), and PPT presentations on the lives and contributions of eminent mathematicians. She expressed great pride in the enthusiastic response, with 76 teams participating from reputed institutions.

In his address, Prof. B.K. Dass drew historical parallels from World War II cryptography and described mathematics as the “language of divinity,” thriving on its own merits rather than external awards.

Prof. Rashmi Bhardwaj captivated the audience with analogies such as gradient descent explained through a potato chip and the beauty of fractal geometry reflected in Indian temple designs. She quoted Albert Einstein: “Mathematics is not about numbers. It is just about understanding.”

A post-lunch session by Prof. Anu G. Aggarwal focused on Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) and its real-world relevance. 

The festival witnessed enthusiastic participation in various competitions. In Poster Making, first place went to Siya from KL Mehta, second to Samiksha Tanwar and Riya Beniwal from Saraswati College, and third to Sakshi Pathak and Reshma from JCBUST. The PPT Making competition saw Nirbhay Singh from Aravalli College take first, Varsha Mittal from JC Bose University second, and Disha Sharma from Aggarwal College along with Himanshi Goyal from JC Bose University jointly third. In Rangoli Making, Sapna Singla and Chetna from JC Bose University secured first place, followed by Rupanshi and Jagriti from KL Mehta in second, and Chandan Prajapati and Vidushi from JC Bose University in third.
