One option that can be available is a place like Centre for Advanced Study (CSA), which is recognised by the UGC and has recently received a FIST (Fund for Infrastructure in Science and Technology) grant from the Department of Science and Technology.

Work at the CSA as a researcher will give you the space to get involved in various aspects of computer science and engage in the field of interdisciplinary projects. The major fields of computer science comprise the curriculum taught in various departments and can provide a scope for understanding this field better.

Many who pass out from SOMAAS are absorbed in institutions like DRDO, IBM and HCL.

Prof. Pasricha, Dept of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Colorado State University, says that "There are lots of opportunities after an MS (even more after a Ph.D). It's a career investment. Just having a 4-year Bachelor of Engineering degree can only take you so far."
