The Centre for Theoretical Studies (CTS) was set up in 1998 in a part of the old building of IIT Kharagpur. Its primary goal is to generate and nucleate theoretical research on fundamental aspects of basic and engineering sciences. The role of the CTS in the academic framework of IIT Kharagpur is to bring together faculty and students with similar interests under a common umbrella.

The CTS, apart from acting as a facility for research in theoretical and computational aspects of science and engineering, trains graduate students and offers graduate-level courses. It also providesopportunities to post doctoral workers and researchers from outside IIT Kharagpur through an active visitors programme.

The Centre organizes seminars on very diverse topics by visiting experts workshops and conferences on topics of current interest. The CTS considers the cultivation of inter-disciplinary theoretical research as a major goal largely because of the diversity available in the academic population of IIT Kharagpur.
