Highlights The Master of Science programme in Computer Science and Engineering imparts the knowledge, skills and attitude to contribute to world class research in the area of computer science. Master of Science students are expected to publish their work in leading international journals and conferences pertaining to their area of research. Research programmes leading to Master of Science/Ph.D. degrees are the main thrust in the institute. These programmes attract students from all corners of the country, in addition to some international students. The research programmes have a limited amount of course work, essentially to prepare the student to carry out research, and to develop adequate breadth in the subject area. The main emphasis is on the research work leading to a thesis. This involves delving in depth into a research topic and includes grasping, evaluating and refining ideas, mathematical rigor, problem formulation, literature survey, implementation (programming) and performance evaluation. Typically students decide on their research area and faculty advisor within the first year while doing course work. Thereafter, the steps involved are: finishing course work (to build research background and breadth) and thesis defense.
M.S. (by Research) in Computer Science & Engineering at IIIT Hyderabad
This programme is designed for students who want to delve deeply into research — it’s not just about classes, but about discovering something new and contributing to the body of knowledge in Computer Science. Over the next two years, you’ll initially undertake advanced coursework to build breadth and depth in your area of interest. Early on, you’ll pick your research area and work under a faculty advisor. The core of the programme is the thesis, which involves defining a research problem, conducting a literature survey, designing and implementing solutions (which may include theory, experiments, and programming), evaluating them, and finally defending your work. The institute expects students to strive for high-quality outcomes — such as publishing in reputable conferences or journals. The structure gives you room to explore electives in CS subfields, but gradually shifts focus more toward research output. It's ideal if you are motivated, independent, ready to think critically, and comfortable with ambiguity.
