The courses are designed, emphasizing the aspects which are directly relevant to A&A. It is assumed that unnecessary repetition ofmaterial, which is already taught atM.Sc. is avoided. 2. The syllabus provides enough avenues for topics which are of “local interest” to be included in the graduate school. This is necessary so that graduate students coming out of IUCAA / NCRA, not only have a comprehensive grasp of the A&w A but are also aware of the key research areas in which these two institutions are concentrating at present. Detailed syllabus may be found in thewebsite: http://www.iucaa.ernet.in/Academics— > Ph.D. Programme. If any of the Research Scholars from Indian universities/colleges are interested in attending any of these courses, they may contact: The Coordinator, Core Programmes, IUCAA, e-mail: aocp@iucaa.in .
