The Energy Science and Technology Program at Centre for Advanced Studies was started in 2019 befitting the institute’s quest for promoting research-driven contemporary inter-disciplinary program. The program was started with 18 seats intake in M.Tech course and planning to add PhD course to it from this year onwards. The syllabus and curriculum of this course were designed with help of reputed experts of the field belonging to both industry and academia suitable for both research-oriented and industry interested candidates. The spectrum of highly qualified faculties encompasses experts from various up-to-date energy technology-related fields. The program has taken big strides in the first year of its inception by taking off in establishing the following highly advanced and state-of-the-art laboratories through a very generous grant from the university: The campus itself is high-tech with all modern facilities such as high-speed Wi-Fi and a centrally air-conditioned campus and having a Digital Library with access to all the major national and international science and engineering books and journals.
