Hi,
I am pursuing MS in Computer Science from BITS Pilani. It is a 4 years course. I had Maths as one of the main subjects in first 2 semesters only. I want to do PhD in Mathematics. Will I be eligible for the same after completion of my MS.

You have completed M.S in Computer science so you are not eligible for Ph.D in Mathematics.

Candidates who have completed masters degree in Mathematics from a recognized university are eligible for Ph.D course in Mathematics. General and OBC candidates should hold 55% and above marks in masters degree. For SC/ST candidate its 50% and above in masters degree.

There is no age criteria. Your age should be below 28 years for JRF post.

According to the eligibility criteria you must have post graduation in maths or its related subject to become eligible for admission in Ph.D in Maths. If you have studied maths in your M.S then you have chance of getting admission.

If the course is only related to computer sciences subject then it will be difficult for you to get admission in Maths Ph.D programme. Therefore, it seems difficult for you to become eligible but if you want admission in Ph.D computer science then you are definitely eligible for it.
