1. The goal of M.S.(R) program is to develop a research-oriented workforce capable of conducting independent research in atmospheric and oceanic sciences. It will provide additional option to students interested in pursuing a research-oriented PG program in the field of weather and climate.
2. The M.S.(R) degree will also serve as an intermediate academic link between a structured coursework-oriented undergraduate degree and a highly research-oriented doctoral degree.
3. The M.S.(R) program will require a minimum of 15 credits of course work and 36 credits of research work.
4. The project component gives the student an opportunity to conduct in-depth investigation on a topic of interest.

2. We offer assistantships for full-time students admitted into the M.S.(R) programme.
3. The admissions to these full-time seats are made based on GATE score. The GATE scores in Engineering Sciences, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Statistics, Geology & Geophysics, Agricultural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Production and Industrial Engineering, Mining Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Geomatics Engineering, and Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering qualify for admission to the M.S.(R) in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences.
4. Those who qualify with other engineering subjects are also eligible to apply for our M.S.(R) programme, provided they have at least one year of relevant work experience in the field.
5. If the qualifying degree is M.Sc., then the candidates must have both Physics and Mathematics studied at the B.Sc. level.
6. The requirement of GATE exam is waived for M.Sc. graduates from IITs or integrated M.Sc. programmes of CFTIs with a CGPA of 8.0 or above on a 10-point scale.
7. The requirement of GATE/national level exam is waived for applicants who are currently registered students in B.Tech/BE/integrated M.Tech/integrated M.Sc. programmes in CFTIs and have a CGPA of 8.0 or above before they register in IIT Delhi
8. The requirement of GATE/national level exam is waived for all graduates of CFTIs with a B.Tech/BE degree with CGPA 8.0 or above or MA/M.Sc. graduates from IITs with a CGPA of 8.0 or above at the time of graduation.
9. In addition to the assistantship seats, we admit sponsored full-time and part-time students with relevant work experience.
10. Sponsored full-time and part-time students do not require GATE qualification but must have one year post-qualification work experience in CAS’s relevant areas and are admitted based on performance in the interview conducted by the Centre Research Committee.
11. The part-time/sponsored full-time students should also apply through the online application portal.
