The Centre for Excellence in Basic Sciences (CBS) is a residential campus located within the confines of the lush, verdant Vidhyanagari Campus of the University of Mumbai, with suitable accommodation and boarding provided for all students. Mumbai,  the commercial capital of the country, is known for its multi-cultural milieu, dynamism and rich scientific legacy. The city boasts of some of the premier scientific and educational institutions of the country, such as the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) and IIT Mumbai. Students at CBS are nurtured within a rich cultural and scientific environment. Besides intensive involvement in stimulating academic work including field trips and project visits, CBS students also have time for sports, cultural and other enriching activities

The Centre aims to eventually have about 1000 students, 150 faculty members and support staff. CBS will have state-of-the-art infrastructure in the newly constructed, permanent structure, which will house modern, well-equipped research laboratories, library and computer facilities etc. and which are anticipated to be ready by 2011. Until that time, CBS will continue to function from temporary locations within Vidhyanagari Campus.
