Mathematics Training and Talent Search Programme

30 th Mathematics Training and Talent Search Programme will take place at three venues during May-July 2022.

This is (as of 1st January 2022) planned to be conducted in three physical camps.  This will not be an online programme.

There are three levels in this Programme: Level O, Level I and Level II. Three camps will be conducted for Level O and one each for Levels I and II.

• Level O : There will be courses in Foundations, Linear Algebra, Analysis, and Number Theory/Group Theory.
• Levels I and II : There will be courses in Algebra, Analysis, Topology and Linear Algebra.

Student seminars and group discussions in all the three levels form an integral part of this programme. The faculty for this programme will be active mathematicians with strong commitment to teaching from leading institutions in the country. The aim of the instruction is not to give routine theorem-proof style lectures but to stimulate the participants to think and discover mathematical results on their own.

Eligibility

• Level O: 2nd year undergraduate students with mathematics as one of the main/major subjects.
• Level I: 3rd year undergraduate students with mathematics as one of the main/major subjects.
• Level II: 1st year postgraduate students with mathematics as one of the main/major subjects.

Application Procedure

The selection will be on merit, based on consistent and good academic records and recommendation by a mathematics teacher closely acquainted with the candidate. The list of selected candidates will be posted at this webpage along with necessary guidelines.

How to apply

Application by the candidates should be submitted online at the site https://4dspace.mtts.org.in. For detailed guidelines, please see this page.

After logging into the site using the OTP received at the given email address, select the programme Mathematics Training and Talent Search Programme 2022.

Recommendations by teachers are also to be submitted at https://4dspace.mtts.org.in

Important information for the selected students (irrespective of their centres)

1. A selection letter will be emailed to the selected participants by 20th March 2022. We will not be sending any hard copy (by post) of the letter of selection to the selected candidates. Please check your email inbox for our mail. Note that, we will be sending the email to the addresses entered by the candidates in the online application portal.
   If a selected candidate decides to participate in the programme, the candidate must accept the selection and confirm his/her participation online at  the MTTS applications site. This confirmation process will be open from 01 April 2022 to 14 April 2022 11:00 PM.
2. After receiving the candidate’s acceptance/confirmation online, the local coordinator will email the candidate a confirmation letter confirming his/her participation. This should reach the candidate as an email towards the end of April 2022.
3. Selected candidates should bring with him/her the following documents at the time of registration at the venue of the programme to which they have been selected:
   • A certificate from the candidate’s present institute/college about the candidate’s present course of study with his/her photograph affixed and attested by the candidate’s institute/college authority.
   • The signed undertaking form (signed by both the guardian and the candidate)
   • The selection letter AND the letter from the local coordinator confirming his/her participation.
   • A photocopy of the train/bus tickets or the used tickets as they are required for reimbursement.
   • In case the candidate decides to accept the selection, he/she is advised to book his/her train tickets in advance without waiting for the confirmation process to open or letter from local co-ordinator to reach.
     
4. Important Notes:
   • Bring the undertaking form signed by the candidate and his parent, and a bonafide certificate from the institute to the camp at the time of registration.  Formats of these form/certificate can be found at this page.
   • In case a candidate fails to bring any one of the above documents, he/she may not be allowed to attend the programme.
   • Change of Centre is not permitted.
   • We are aware that some of the selected students have a very genuine problem, namely the clash of dates of examinations with that of our camps. Students with this problem fail to participate, since they are not allowed to join after the second day of the programme. To avoid vacancies created by such incidents, we offer admission to 50-60 applicants though our sanctioned strength is 35 per level. Our overbooking takes care of the vacancies arising out of this problem. Note that there are about 6000+ autonomous institutions such as universities, colleges and institutes in our country. It would be impossible to find even a single day which will be convenient to students of all these institutions. To mitigate such issues, we have floated the concept of Mini MTTS whose major intake will be students of a region.
   • You are requested to read the letter at this link from the Programme Director at this page to get an understanding of the efforts we make for continuing the programme run without disruption. You are requested to write to us ONLY after carefully going through that letter, in case you need some help/clarification/or have some request.
   • Center specific instructions will be emailed to the participants after 20th April 2022. Please visit this page regularly for updates.
