Abstract
The main goal of the magnetized Iron CALorimeter detector (ICAL), proposed to be built in the India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) laboratory, is to study atmospheric neutrino oscillations. The interactions of atmospheric neutrinos with the rock material around the detector produces upward-going muons which carries the signature of oscillation. We therefore present the oscillation sensitivity results using upward-going muons and discuss their significance in INO.
