Simply refered to as CCST, is an institution birthed out of the research and development experiences of CSIR. It's an Applied Research College that operates within the research facilitiess of the thirteen institutes of the CSIR, endowed with experienced research scientists and technologists, most of whom are at the very top of their professional careers, and are widely renowned performers in their areas of specialization. The College has at its disposal well-equiped state-of-the-art laboratories, conference and seminar rooms, research stations througout the country, and other facilitiess of the institutes by which to deliver its programmes. These facilities constitute a unique learning environment that provides students with opportunities for enquiry and effective learning through literature study, laborary and field research as well as by hands-on, project approach to problem-solving

Growth and transformation of the food industry, which will make substantial impact on the national economy, will require highly trained personnel with both theoretical knowledge and practical expertise in Food and Agro-processing. The CSIR with its long experience in scientific research which emphasizes analytical and experimental work is well placed to offer such practical-oriented training at the postgraduate level to build on basic knowledge in biological sciences acquired by students at the undergraduate level. The course should also offer the student opportunity to pursue a career in academia or research

The goal of the programme is to train high caliber manpower who will have the necessary knowledge and skills to pursue a career in industry, academia or research to build up capacity to develop and transform the food processing industry and the critical areas of post-harvest food conservation and agro-processing. The MPhil programme will offer a unique opportunity for students to have a high level practical training involving food commodity processing, product development and food analysis based on national and industrial needs.

The MPhil and PhD programs in Food Science and Technology are offered by the Department of Agro-Processing Technology and Food Biosciences at the CSIR-Food Research Institute.
