Prasad earned his bachelor's degree with honors in Mathematics from [[Magadh University]] in 1963. Two years later, in 1965, he received his masters in Mathematics from [[Patna University]]. After a brief stay at the [[Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur]] in their [[Ph.D.]] program for Mathematics, Prasad entered the Ph.D. program at the [[Tata Institute of Fundamental Research]] (TIFR) in 1966. There he began a long and extensive collaboration with his advisor [[M. S. Raghunathan]] on several topics including the study of lattices in semi-simple Lie groups and the congruence subgroup problem. In 1976, Prasad received his Ph.D. from the [[University of Mumbai]]. Prasad became an associate professor at TIFR in 1979, and a professor in 1984. In 1992 he left TIFR to join the faculty at the [[University of Michigan]] in Ann Arbor, where he is currently the [[Raoul Bott]] Professor of Mathematics.
