The objective of AcSIR is pursuit of excellence as well as doing something relevant. We promote the culture of being singularly dynamic and innovative. The Academy has been established as an “Institution of National Importance” in the year 2010, with a view to maximize the number of qualified researchers and professionals of impeccable quality in the domain of science and engineering; and to equip them with the skills to innovate and conduct seamless interdisciplinary research.
The PhD in Science, Engineering and Direct PhD in Engineering programmes, which equip students to undertake interdisciplinary research by providing a broad-based practical training in best in the class national laboratories of CSIR. The Programmes are structured around two initial years of coursework, including formal coursework in first two semesters; one Project Proposal & one Review Article in third semester; and CSIR-800 project in fourth semester; followed by three years of research (this can also run in parallel).
The courses are intellectually demanding and intensive in nature of the course, hence, entry to the PhD programmes of AcSIR is highly selective. Additionally, two students of the PhD Science programme have already submitted their PhD thesis while a few more are on the verge of submitting their thesis- a further indication of the quality of students and the research training.
