So, people use to go other institutes to take data. Presently the construction of a new observatory is going on in Purulia, West Bengal.
Theoretical Sciences
People are working on Statistical Mechanics, High Energy Physics, Non-linear Dynamics, Quantum gravity, Mathematical Physics, Quantum Information, Lattice Gauge Theory etc.
Condensed Matter Physics and Material Sciences
Both experimental and theoretical Condensed matter physicist are on their fields. Some people are also working on a very hot topic: Nanophysics.
Chemical, Biological and Macro-molecular Sciences
The main interest in this department is study of complex molecular and hybrid systems (including biomolecules) using Experiments and Simulations, ultrasensitive & ultrafast spectoscopy techniques.
Courses
As this is a research institute mainly PhD program is done here. From 2001 Integrated PhD (MSc+PhD) program was started. After completion of two years of study, MSc degree is given by University of Calcutta. Formerly this degree was given by West Bengal University of Technology.
