"That is (right) action which does not conduce to bondage

(Karmabandha in the Bhagavadgita sense); that is (true)
knowledge which conduces to final liberation or spiritual
emancipation; (any) other action would cause (mere)

Vice Chancellor's Message

M.Tech. in Computational Techniques (M.Tech.CT) is a four semester

advanced programme jointly offered by the School of Physics and by the
Department of Computer and Information Sciences. This course is designed
after consulting various research institutes such as DMRL, BHEL (R&B),
NGRI, NRSA and CCMB, etc. The first two semesters of the course will not
only cover the basic computer courses such as Computer Organization, Algorithms,
Data Structures, Programming Methodologies, Monte Carlo Techniques and
Wavelet Transforms. The students will also be exposed to Image Processing,
Cryptography, Quantum Computing, Pattern and Speech Recognition. Apart from the
course work, the students will do a full one year project work. This course is
unique in training students with comprehensive exposure to modern Computational
Techniques with relevant knowledge in Physics and Computers.

The rigorous training that the students receive in this carefully designed course
will enable them to handle real world challenges in many key areas such as
Telecommunications, Bioinformatics and Information Technology. The
organizations and industries in need of such trained people will find our students
to be well suited to their requirements.

I wish the M.Tech (CT) students all the best in their career.
