About the M.Tech. (CDS) Program
Computational Science and Data Science are inter‐disciplinary areas that bring together the domain‐
specific knowledge of science and engineering with relevant areas of computing systems and formal
foundations. While computational science investigates scientific computing applications that require
mathematical techniques and parallel computing, data science explores data-intensive applications
that use scalable statistical and machine learning methods with Big Data and Cloud platforms.

The M.Tech. (CDS) Admission Process


• Students with a BE / B Tech or equivalent degree in any discipline (with a valid GATE) or M Sc or
equivalent degree in any discipline (with a valid GATE) are eligible to apply. Eligible GATE papers
are: AE/BT/CE/CH/CS/EC/EE/IN/MA/ME/MT/PH/ST. In all cases a strong mathematical and
programming background is required.
• Details for the program are listed at https://iisc.ac.in/admissions/m-tech-m-des under “19
Computational and Data Science (CP)” section.
• Based on the application, the department will short‐list students and notify them to appear online
for a Written Test and Oral Interview.
• The interview process begins with a 90-minute written test conducted online using HackerEarth
platform on a specified day and time. Candidates should have a laptop with internet connection

candidates.
• All applicants who appear for the online Written Test will be called for an online Oral Interview.
• The syllabus for the written test and the oral interview will be from:
o Foundations: Linear Algebra/Matrices, Probability and Combinatorics at the
undergraduate engineering mathematics level, in addition to basic Calculus and
Geometry.
o Programming: Data Structures (arrays, matrices, etc.), and Basic Programming.
• Oral Interview will be conducted online using Microsoft Teams, and evaluate your ability to think
and solve problems interactively using pen and paper. For more details, visit
