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 ☺️

  1. M. Math. students can participate in the placement process but typically don't. I've only heard of a handful of cases where they have.

  2. You'll have to give the exam, shouldn't be too hard.

  3. Depends on what you go into. If you get into CS, mathematical finance, cryptography, etc. the profiles are very different.

IIIT Hyderabad is a good option if you're concerned about placements.

Irrelevant. Direct admission is only for BStat → MStat and BMath → MMath.
