Students in this programme will be expected to complete the equivalent of 17 regular courses, normally over a period of four semesters, as follows.
At the discretion of the admissions committee, a student who has already completed any of the compulsory courses as an undergraduate may substitute these courses by a suitable number of optional courses to make up the overall course requirements.
There is also the possibility of substituting some regular courses with a dissertation, written under the supervision of one of the faculty members.
The list of elective courses being offered each year will be announced at the beginning of the academic year. Detailed information about all courses is available at the CMI website, http://www.cmi.ac.in.
