## **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.
