History
Centre for Mathematical Sciences was established in 1977 in
From 1977 to 2006, the activities at the Centre were carried out by a group of researchers in Kerala, mostly retired professors, through voluntary service. Starting from 2007, DST created full-time salaried positions of three Assistant Professors, one Full Professor and one Liaison Officer. They are at Pala Campus. DST approved up to 15 junior research fellows (JRF) and one senior research fellow (SRF). They are the current PhD students at the Pala Campus. They would receive their PhD degrees from Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, Kerala.[3]
