This program has been specially designed to meet the increasing need for professionals who would be able to respond to the convergence between computers and communication. It is meant for students who wish to build a professional career oriented towards research and development, working at the cutting edge of technology in the area of Information and Communication Technology.

This program comprises both advanced course work and research in ICT areas. The broad areas of research that can be pursued are communication systems, computer networks, VLSI and embedded systems, and machine intelligence. The curriculum includes foundation courses, specialization courses, and elective courses. At the end of the first year, students are required to take a writing course. The students are required to pursue one full year (two semesters) of research work. The curriculum is structured in a manner to allow students pursuing one specialization to take up to four elective courses from other areas of specialization. .
