IIT Madras Maths dept earns CAS Silver level recognition

Chennai, May 23 (UNI) The Indian Institute of Technology Madras’ (IIT-Madras) Department of Mathematics has been awarded Silver Level recognition under the CAS University Recognition Program by the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS).
This prestigious honor reflects IIT-Madras’s excellence in preparing students for careers in property and casualty insurance risk management, and its strong alignment with the globally recognized CAS curriculum.
The Department of Mathematics at IIT Madras offers a diverse portfolio of Undergraduate, Master’s and Doctoral programs in pure and applied mathematics, statistics and financial modeling, a release from IIT-Madras said on Friday.
Known for its rigorous research and teaching excellence, the department maintains close collaborations with industry partners to prepare students for leadership roles in academia, finance, technology, and actuarial practice.
Prof. Neelesh S. Upadhye, Department of Mathematics, IIT Madras, said, “This recognition celebrates our department’s robust offerings in stochastic processes, regression, financial mathematics, and data analytics—areas at the heart of modern actuarial science.”
He said, “We thank the CAS for this opportunity and look forward to deepening our collaboration through faculty development workshops, student summer-program placements, and joint research initiatives.”
As a Silver-Level partner, IIT Madras will benefit from priority placements for students in CAS summer programs; access to CAS teaching materials and case-study libraries; invitations to the annual General Insurance Teachers Conference and sponsored on-campus events and virtual presentations with CAS professionals.
“We are thrilled to honor IIT Madras through the CAS University Recognition Programs,” said Joyce Warner, Chief Business Officer of the Casualty Actuarial Society. “We encourage all institutions committed to general insurance actuarial science programs to apply for the level that aligns with
their programs.”
This recognition is valid through the 2023–2026 cycle, during which the Department of Mathematics will continue to pursue higher levels of collaboration and excellence as our programs evolve, strengthening our commitment to actuarial education and industry engagement.
