MTech & PhD
CAOS takes students under three categories, namely, M.Tech. (Earth and Climate Science) and Ph.D. We encourage students with Batchelors and/or Masters degrees in Engineering and the Physical Sciences, who have an interest in Atmosphere-Ocean-Climate Science, apply to our Centre. Additional information about CAOS can be found on our webpage. Selection of students is based on an interview. To be called for the interview, passing a national examination such as GATE, CSIR/UGC JRF is necessary. Details of these programs, including background, course work, career opportunities and a timeline can be found on the Graduate Programs webpage. Additional information about admission to IISc can be found on the main Admission Page.
