The Department of Mathematics is one of the oldest departments of this college which started its journey from the beginning, but at that time only Higher Secondary (10+2) syllabus was taught. The department introduced at first the general course in Mathematics from the session 1981-1982 for the students and after a long journey the department introduced the Honours course from the session 2003-2004. Now the number of seats for the honours course has been increased to forty. The department carries out different types of academic activities.

There is a healthy relationship between the teachers and the students. The success rate of the students in the University exam is high. In the final University exam 100% students passed in the academic session 2018-2019. Two or three students in almost every semester get 8.0 grade and above marks in the final exam.
