ICT conducts Masters and doctoral programs in various disciplines of chemical technology, biotechnology, chemical engineering and pharmacy along with basic sciences such as chemistry, physics and mathematics. Several programs are interdisciplinary in nature and a few such as 'Perfumery and Flavour Technology' are one of its kind in the world (www.ictmumbai.edu.in/uploaded_files/Admission_Handbook_2018-2019.pdf ). Besides, integrated masters and integrated PhD programs are offered in all the three campuses of ICT, of which two have recently started functioning. Following are some of the salient features of the PG courses:

i) PG students work on projects sponsored by industries, research institutes, and leading government organizations

ii) All the labs in ICT run 24/7, providing students flexibility in working. Highest priority is given in safety and security of students working in labs.

iii) All the PG students go for internship/industrial training for minimum 3 months at the end of Sem II to work and solve industrial problems, develop new processes, while simultaneously getting an experience of working in an industrial environment.
