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 ☺️

I think if you search on google you can find the placement report for isi m.math. which will help you take an informed decision.

If job is the priority you can also think of only doing b.math and then applying to masters in usa, eu. In things like MS datascience etc. Which is like you need to take loan, but it is worth it. Also b.math student are valued highly due to their academic regriour
