Research Programmes

The Institute offers opportunities for pursuing advanced research in frontier areas of science, engineering and technology to motivated and talented students with a keen sense of scientific inquiry. Research students constitute the largest group on the campus (more than 70 of the student !ody". The Institute awards a!out #$0 %h & and '.(c ()ngg" degrees, every year.
