Ph.D
Programme January 2014 Session
The
PhD in Science, Engineering and Direct PhD in Engineering programmes, which
equip students to undertake interdisciplinary research by providing a
broad-based practical training in best in the class national laboratories of CSIR.
The Programmes are structured around two initial years of coursework, including
formal coursework in first two semesters; one Project Proposal & one Review
Article in third semester; and CSIR-800 project in fourth semester; followed by
three years of research (this can also run in parallel).
The
courses are intellectually demanding and intensive in nature of the course,
hence, entry to the PhD programmes of AcSIR is highly selective. Additionally,
two students of the PhD Science programme have already submitted their PhD thesis
while a few more are on the verge of submitting their thesis- a further
indication of the quality of students and the research training.
