It is offered as full-time or part-time. For eligibility to the programme a minimum of a second class master's degree in engineering from a good college/university is required. Candidates will be selected on the basis of available seats, but that is not the main issue if you provide proper amount of fees.

MSRSAS students normally work on research problems with funding from agencies. The research group also supervises Ph.D. theses. The areas of research are:

  • Engineering Mechanics and Design
  • Materials and Manufacturing Technology
  • Fluid Flow and Energy Systems
  • Biomedical Signal and Image Processing
  • Signal Processing and Communication Engineering
  • Digital Systems Design
  • Industrial and Rural Product Design

MSRSAS also has School funded research projects and product development activities.

Training and lifelong learning

The school offers the ACTP-Advanced Certificate Training programme, for fresh graduates. There are training courses for industry and module based training courses for those who would like to acquire skills in specific areas. In addition, 3–5 days duration corporate training courses and proficiency courses are offered.

Advanced certificate training programme

These are offered at different levels, each level is of 6 months duration. The school has developed these courses in association with industry.

  • Signal Processing and Communication Technologies
  • Embedded System Design
  • MCAD
  • Automotive Electronics
  • VLSI-System Design

Modular training programme
  • The school conducts modular training courses for graduates and working professionals in the areas of MCAD, VLSI, DSIP, Embedded System and Manufacturing. Each module is offered for a duration varying from 70 hours to 160 hours depending on the module.

Technology business

TIFAC-TCFA

TIFAC (DST, Government of India), has launched a programme called TREMP {Technology Refinement and Marketing Planning} to help product innovators to commercialize their innovations through a number of TCFAs (Technology Commercialization Facilitation Agency). MSRSAS established a TCFA in June 2009.

Technology business incubation

MSRSAS has created facilities at its Peenya Campus to incubate technology business entrepreneurship and has plans to support budding entrepreneurs to realize their dream. The scheme is to support about 25-30 candidates in each batch with each candidate having a project idea and would like to become an entrepreneur but have the limitation of resources.

MSRSAS will provide work space varying from 500-1000 sft at low rent on its campus. On campus, product design, engineering design and analysis, simulation, circuits design and fabrication, simulation, prototyping, testing facilities both in the areas of mechanical engineering and electronic engineering are made available at low cost.

Working on the project idea and making it a commercial successes is the sole responsibility of the candidate. Each candidate will be given support at low cost for three years, after which the candidate will move off of the campus, making way for a new candidate.

Technology business support

In addition to incubating technology business MSRSAS is creating facilities at its Peenya Campus to support small high technology businesses which will help students of MSRSAS to get exposure to advanced technologies. Each business will be provided with 1000-2000 square feet. of work space on a rental basis. These businesses are required to hire MSRSAS students. The business can use campus facilities.

gollark: ...
gollark: Eh, not really. You just said something like "it is to stop firms pinging their members when they post a meme".
gollark: MemeBot, you mean?
gollark: I don't like arbitrary rules which seem as if they are clamping down on things for no reason, especially ones which will apparently be enforced through magic, and claiming something is for the benefit of all users doesn't make it the case.
