A 2-year, UGC-DEB entitled Master of Science, offered online in just two subjects — Mathematics and Data Science. A niche, high-value PG for teaching, analytics and research careers. Only a handful of universities run it online; here are the ones that do, with fees.
Online M.Sc fees — who offers what 2026
Unlike most master’s, an online M.Sc is rare — UGC entitles it in only a few subjects. These four universities run it online in Mathematics or Data Science. We confirm the exact current fee before you enrol.
| University | Subject | NAAC | Total M.Sc Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shoolini Online | Data Science | A+ | ₹1,20,000 |
| Vivekananda Global (VGU) | Mathematics | A+ | Get Fees |
| Manipal University Jaipur | Mathematics | A+ | Get Fees |
| LPU Online | Maths / Data Science | A++ | Get Fees |
Online M.Sc is available in Mathematics and Data Science only — no other science subjects are offered in online mode under UGC entitlement. “On request” means we get the exact current fee in writing for your shortlist. Fees are total program fees, subject to change; NAAC grades are institution-level.

What you can actually study
M.Sc Mathematics
Advanced algebra, analysis, statistics and applied maths. The route to teaching (with UGC-NET / B.Ed), banking-quant roles, actuarial prep and a PhD. Offered by VGU, Manipal Jaipur and LPU.
M.Sc Data Science
Statistics, Python, machine learning, big-data tools and analytics. Built for the fastest-growing hiring area in India. Offered by Shoolini and LPU.
An honest fit check
An online M.Sc fits if you…
- Have a relevant bachelor’s (B.Sc, BCA, engineering or maths-heavy degree)
- Want a maths or data-science PG for teaching, analytics or research
- Are targeting UGC-NET, a data role, or a PhD later
- Need to study while working — fully online with home exams
Consider other options if you…
- Want a lab-based science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) — not offered online
- Want a management PG — look at an online MBA or M.Com
- Have a non-maths/non-computing bachelor’s — check eligibility with us first
Eligibility
A relevant bachelor’s degree — typically B.Sc (Maths/Stats), BCA, B.Tech or a maths-heavy graduation. Requirements vary by university; we’ll confirm yours upfront.
Duration & intakes
2 years / 4 semesters. Two intakes a year — January and July. Recorded lectures and online proctored exams from home.
Fees & EMI
Around ₹1,20,000 for M.Sc Data Science at Shoolini; Mathematics fees vary by university, on request. EMI options available.
Your questions, answered
Can I do an M.Sc fully online in India?
Yes, but only in Mathematics and Data Science. UGC entitles these two subjects for online mode; lab-based sciences like Physics, Chemistry and Biology are not offered online. Four universities currently run an online M.Sc — VGU, Manipal Jaipur, LPU and Shoolini.
Is an online M.Sc valid for UGC-NET and teaching?
Yes. A UGC-DEB entitled online M.Sc is equivalent to a regular one for UGC-NET, teaching eligibility, government recruitment and a PhD. Confirm the university is UGC-DEB entitled — every one we list is.
M.Sc Data Science vs a data-science certificate?
An M.Sc is a full UGC-recognised master’s degree — it carries far more weight for jobs, NET and further study than a short certificate, and covers the theory as well as the tools.
What can I do after an online M.Sc?
Maths opens teaching, banking-quant, actuarial and PhD paths; Data Science opens analyst, data-scientist and ML-engineer roles. Both are strong for UGC-NET and research.
Can a BCA graduate do an online M.Sc Data Science?
Usually yes — BCA, B.Sc and B.Tech graduates typically qualify. We confirm the exact eligibility with the university for your profile.
Is an online M.Sc valid for a PhD?
Yes. A UGC-DEB entitled online M.Sc is a recognised master’s degree, valid for PhD admission and UGC-NET.
Are there practicals or thesis work in an online M.Sc?
Coursework, projects and assessments are delivered online; some programs include a capstone project. There are no physical lab requirements in Maths or Data Science.
M.Sc Data Science or MCA for a data career?
M.Sc Data Science goes deeper into statistics and ML; MCA is broader software engineering. For analyst and data-scientist roles, the M.Sc is the more direct route.
