More on UM-DAE CBS

UM-DAE CBS (University of Mumbai-Dept. of Atomic Energy Center for Excellence in Basic Sciences) will have a common entrance exam with NISER. Following is more information on UM-DAE CBS obtained from their brochure.

University of Mumbai � Department of Atomic Energy Centre for Excellence in Basic Sciences (UM-DAE CBS) is being set up by the Department of Atomic Energy of Government of India at Mumbai, beginning with the academic year 2007-08, to impart high quality science education in a vibrant academic ambience, with a faculty of distinguished teachers and scientists. The aim of this special Centre is to nurture world class scientists for the country who will take up challenging research and teaching assignments in Universities, R&D laboratories and industry. UM-DAE CBS will be a residential campus, with suitable accommodation, boarding and recreational facilities. Besides their intensive involvement in stimulating academic work, students will also have ample time for sports, cultural and other enriching activities.

The permanent campus of UM-DAE CBS will be located in a beautiful area within the sprawling Kalina Campus of the University of Mumbai. It will have about 1000 students, 150 faculty members and a similar number of support staff. CBS will have state-of-the-art infrastructure including research laboratories, library and computer facilities, and is likely to be ready in few years. Until then UM-DAE CBS will function from a temporary location in the same campus. UM-DAE CBS will be affiliated to the University of Mumbai.

Mumbai, the commercial capital of the country, is known for its multi-cultural milieu, dynamism and rich scientific legacy. Besides science departments, the Kalina Campus houses departments in arts, languages and the humanities. The city boasts of some of the premier scientific and educational institutions of the country such as the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) and IIT Bombay. Students joining UM-DAE CBS will be nurtured within this rich cultural and scientific environment.

Five year M.Sc. (Integrated) Programme in Basic Sciences

UM-DAE CBS will have a large variety of academic programmes for undergraduate and postgraduate education. To begin with, UM-DAE CBS will offer a 5-year M.Sc. (Integrated) Programme in basic sciences after 10+2 (or equivalent) schooling. The institute will have major schools in mathematical, physical, chemical, biological and computer sciences. After successful completion of the academic requirements students will be awarded the degree of M.Sc. (Integrated) of the University of Mumbai in one of the four subjects : mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. For the academic year beginning September 2007 admission will be in physics stream only.

The programme will have a balanced semester-based course structure with a flexible seamless curriculum that emphasizes interdisciplinary nature of science in the 21st century and promotes exploration, innovation and research. The curriculum for the first two semesters (first year) will be common to all and specialization will begin with the third semester. The core courses in the subject of specialization will provide strong foundations in both theoretical and experimental aspects of the discipline. In addition, students will be required to go through a certain number of courses in other subjects also. All students will be required to go through a small number of compulsory courses in humanities, technical communication, history of science, environmental and energy sciences.

The fourth year of the M. Sc. (Integrated) programme will be devoted to advanced courses in various disciplines. In the last year every student will undertake a guided research project. The outcome of the investigation will be reported in the form of a thesis. Throughout the five-year programme, students will be encouraged to take up summer projects and visit reputed national laboratories and universities. Eminent scientists from India and abroad will be regularly invited to give colloquia/seminars and interact with the students. In short the curriculum is designed to ensure depth in the area of specialization together with breadth of exposure and intellectual enrichment, and to prepare the student for high level professional research and development career in national laboratories, universities and industry.
