Program overview

The regular doctoral program in Engineering is different than a traditional PhD program. It is uniquely designed for promising professionals, who wish to pursue their careers in applied research and who seek the advanced knowledge, skills and perspectives of doctoral education.

Program Mission

The Mission of our Doctoral Program is to enable researchers with inquisitive minds to build their careers in one of the applied research areas. We infuse them with theoretical knowledge to conceptually understand cotemporary issues in science and technology and simultaneously apply them to develop applications so as make a positive impact on the society. This enables them to do better problem solving and generation of workable solution to the complex real – life problems.

Educational Objectives
