Students are supported through TAships. Summer funding through RAship is possible, but not guaranteed.

Linda Cai is a recent graduate of the program (tcai@princeton.edu) who volunteered to answer questions about what the program is like, if anyone would like to get insight from a recent graduate.

Not a masters program but similar intent. Students (typically after undergrad) spend 1-2 years in the Lab doing research and strengthening their research profile. In most cases, these students then pursue a PhD in various universities across the world.

Indian Institute of Science

https://www.csa.iisc.ac.in/academics-all/degree-programs/

The MTech (Research) program is a 1 to 2.5 year research oriented masters program. Typically, a student does course work in the first semester and then spends the remaining time (up to 2 years) doing research. About a third of these students go for a PhD thereafter.
