Graduate Admissions

All academic departments of CIIT provide exceptional facilities for conducting research work leading to MS and PhD degrees. These facilities include, among others, good libraries, well equipped laboratories, state-of-the-technology computer labs, internet access, and an atmosphere for learning and research. A graduate scholar has unqualified access to all facilities available in either the concerned department or in other allied departments of CIIT.

The broad objectives of these programs are not only to keep pace with the expanding frontiers of knowledge but also to provide research training relevant to the present social and economic uplift of the country.

Primarily, a program leading to MS/PhD should impart education and training to a scholar in the area of interest for pursuing graduate studies, to inculcate in the student a spirit for learning, and develop in him faculties of observation, critical assessment, hypothesis testing and report writing. Graduate Programs at CIIT have been tailored to equip scholars with the necessary skills required to successfully accomplish all these tasks.
