CDS-Computational Science (CD-CP)
Ph.D and M.Tech (Res) Admissions Aug 2019 Cycle
Selection List – 2019
Important Information
- General: Research activities at CDS are categorized into two streams: Computational Science (CD-CP) and Computer and Data systems (CD-CS). The candidate has to apply for CDS and the department committee will shortlist the candidates for research interview based on GATE Score and/or B.Tech./M.Tech. scores. The shortlisted candidates will have to attend an interview which consists of written component and oral interview. Candidates have to carefully review their eligibility and choose one stream, either CD-CP (Computational Science) or CD-CS (Computer and Data System) at the time of interview. The written component will differ between these streams, please refer to the appropriate brochure carefully before filing in the combined preference sheet. Eligibility for CD-CS and CD-CP can be viewed here.
