It offers M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs and currently it does not offer undergraduate programs. Though the institute offers M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs of the University of Mumbai, due to the autonomy granted to the institute, the admissions to these programs are managed separately by the institute but examinations are conducted by the University of Mumbai and degrees are awarded by the University of Mumbai.
