About Aspiring IIScians Meet

The vision of the Division of Electrical, Electronics, and Computational Sciences (EECS) is to strive to be among the world’s foremost clusters of electrical, electronics, and computer science researchers, through pursuit of research excellence and promotion of innovation, by offering world class education to train future leaders in EECS, and by contributing to and applying science and technology breakthroughs and know-how for societal needs.

In keeping with this vision, the Division has created multiple MTech programmes to cater to the research interests and career goals of students. These programmes are offered by one or more of the four departments under the Division of EECS, namely the Departments of Electrical Communication Engineering (ECE), Electrical Engineering (EE), Electronic Systems Engineering (ESE), and Computer Science and Automation (CSA). In addition, the Division offers PhD programmes through its individual departments.

To help ‘aspiring IIScians’ decide on a Master’s or PhD programme that meets their career aspirations, the Division of EECS organises an online session of the Aspiring IIScians Meet (AIM). The aim of these information sessions are to address questions such as: What exciting topics can you pursue as a Master’s or a PhD student at IISc? What exciting research happens here? Can you apply? How to apply? What do you know about IISc? And Bengaluru? And the different departments/research groups here? What is it like to be a graduate student at IISc? How will it help your career?

In the past few years, the Department of Computational and Data Sciences (CDS), the Robert Bosch Centre for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), and the Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE) have also joined in organising the Aspiring IIScians Meet. From the last two years, the IISc student chapters of IEEE and ACM have taken charge of coordinating and organising this Meet.
