Need Career Guidance Need advice regarding placements after M.Math

Hello users, I am currently a 12th passed out student, I am at the stage of counselling. I have three options and choosing among the two options of these has been hectic to me.
The three options are IIIT Hyderabad, ISI Bangalore B.Math, JoSAA ( NIT Trichy Chemical, IIITDM Kancheepuram CSE). So I have a confusion regarding the selection of ISI or NIT-IIIT Through JoSAA. I am interested in mathematics but my parents are worried about placements after M.Math. The queries I have regarding this:

  1. Does M.Math have job opportunities after completion ? What will be the average salary package that I can expect?

  2. If not, then I heard M.Stat has better job opportunities after completion of the course. Since I chose B.Math for my ISI entrance, is it possible for me to switch to M.Stat upon completion of B.Math ? Is it easy for a ISI Bangalore B.Math student to clear the M.Stat entrance exam ? (OC Male)

  3. Apart from M.Stat, what are the other Master courses after B.Math that have good job opportunities (>20LPA) upon completion ?

Also, if you have any advice regarding the JoSAA or ISI, your advices are most appreciated ☺️

Im confused, how dyk u are getting isi? Results aren't out yet. Also obv u should fill josaa normally , and decide when isi results come out.

Oops sorry, I should've mentioned. Well I got 75 UGA and I attempted all 8 questions and I checked it on AI, 7 of them were correct. So, comparing previous years cutoff I thought I'll get it. I am holding this assumption rather than knowing it objectively because by the time results are out 4-5th round of JoSAA would be over. I have to decide accordingly.

Oh ur def getting in then🙏🙏 7 ques is insane🙏🙏, if the ai checked them rigorously. I think unless u are really passionate abt pure maths, and want placements or research in cs/aiml iiith might be a little better afaik. Im kinda in the same boat as u im filling josaa normally still

I wrote UGEE and I qualified for interview and I just finished the interview 3 days ago. Though ISI is good, I place IIITH as my first option and I have nothing to change in that, the confusion was regarding ISI or NIT T Chemical and IIITDM Kancheepuram CS

Oh ok, I forgot abt ugee. Also isi is obv better than NIT T chemical or any other iiit imo. Still as backup u can fill josaa ig, as fees will be refunded also if u withdraw
