DSC04724

Interdisciplinary Program (denoted as NA stream)

The second stream is an interdisciplinary program conducted by the Centre in conjunction with several other departments across the Institute. A student admitted under this program has two advisors from two different departments. The admission into this program is offered against a specified research project proposed by the two advisors. A list of all available projects is made available to admission seekers before the interview.

Research Areas: Broadly, all areas of nano science and engineering.

Eligibility for the PhD programs:

  • M.E./M.Tech. or equivalent in any discipline.
  • B.E. / B.Tech. or equivalent in any Engineering discipline with a valid score in a recommended GATE paper (See list of papers for M.Tech)
  • M.Sc. or equivalent in any Science discipline with a valid score in a recommended GATE paper (See list of papers for M.Tech)
  • Qualification in one of the following national exams: INSPIRE, Joint CSIR UGC NET for JRF, DBT JRF, UGC NET for JRF and JEST.

To apply click here

M Tech program: Admission to the M Tech program is offered only for the July session.

Ph. D program: Admissions to the PhD program is typically done for the July session. However, a limited number of topic/field specific admissions may be made for the January session as well. 

The admission process starts with filing the online applications at the IISc admissions website. Candidates are shortlisted for interview based on either the scores in one of the national exams or qualification. The detailed eligibility criteria can be found here. The background of students admitted to CeNSE in the past have been mostly from ECE, Physics, Mechanical, Materials disciplines, although there are students pursuing PhD/ MTech at CeNSe whose undergraduate degrees are in areas as diverse as biotechnology or biomedical instrumentation. Shortlisted candidates have to appear for an interview at CeNSE for selection. The interview typically consists of two to three sections, namely math and analytical questions such as plotting functions, basic calculus, differential equations etc, questions related to courses taken during their UG and PG degrees, and questions probing their research aptitude. Admission is based primarily on the performance in the interview and the results are generally announced 2-3 weeks after the interview.

Post Admission M Tech

lab 2M Tech students typically spend most of their first year in taking courses. The course structure consists of a combination of core courses offered at CeNSE, and electives which the student may take from any department at IISc. Towards the end of the first semester, the students need to choose an M Tech thesis project which is an indispensible part of the successful completion of the M Tech program. Work related to the thesis starts during the 2nd semester and should result in a well documented report culminating in the award of the M Tech degree.

Post Admission Ph. D

The most important activity after joining the Ph. D program is the selection of your research advisor. At CeNSE we give absolute freedom to choose a research advisor based on the mutual interest of the student and the faculty member. In order to make a well thought out choice of research advisor, you are encouraged to talk to the faculty members whose work interest you and spend some time in their labs and attend the group meetings to get a good idea of what research in the group involves.

Students typically take between 4-8 courses depending on the prior preparation to gain a solid background in their topic of research. They should maintain a minimum CGPA of 7 throughout the course program. A major step towards the completion of a successful PhD is to pass the comprehensive exam which is held before completing two years in the PhD program. The comprehensive exam is evaluated by a committee of examiners from inside and outside the department. The committee evaluates if sufficient progress has been made towards the research goal. The exam also tests your grasp of the material discussed in your course work. After successfully passing the comprehensive exams, students focus on the research problem intensively leading to the successful defense of the PhD thesis typically within 5 years of joining the program.

NE 223 August - December Analog Circuits and Embedded System for Sensors

The Internet of Things (IoT) revolution is driven by confluence of high performance sensors, powerful computation power of microcontrollers and wireless technology. The performance of sensors is not only governed by inherent characteristics of sensor such as sensitivity, linearity and response time but also the front end interfacing analog circuit and backend processing in digital domain. The goal of this course is to explore the electronics that needs to be incorporated to create sensor systems and to learn the trade-offs in design of circuits to maximize performance subject to real life design constraints.

The course has both a theory (2 credits) and a hands-on lab (1 credit) element to it. The course starts out with introduction to basic circuit elements and smaller circuit building blocks with emphasis on reading and understand the datasheets for components to make the appropriate choice to pick for the circuit at hand.  Digital IOs and some basics of digital logic will be explored thereafter leading eventually to programming with Arduino microcontroller. In the end, the course takes a closer look at building systems.

The lab portion of the course will serve to explore trade-offs in circuit design as well as give a practical feel for dealing with noise in circuits and building systems. Circuit simulation will also be emphasized in the lab course in conjunction with back of the envelop calculations to make sense of the simulations. There will be also be a final project wherein the students get an opportunity to build a sensor system in its entirety and learn planned system design, tracking down sources of noise and learning to define interfaces cleanly for smooth integration in the end.

The course content is as follows:

Basic Circuit Analysis and Passive Components; Introduction to semiconductor devices and circuits involving Diodes, BJT, MOSFET and JFET; Opamp circuits: Transimpedance amplifier, Instrumentation amplifier, Comparator, Precision DMM application; Tradeoffs between power, noise, settling time and cost; Survey of sensors and their datasheets; Active Filters and RF Oscillators; Introduction to digital logic, State Machines, Digital IO; Microcontroller programming; Communication protocols for sensor interfacing; System building
