Doctoral Programme

The conventional, research-based doctoral degree programme provides a thorough grounding in the fundamental principles of Chemical Engineering, inter-disciplines, and related areas, as well as an intensive research experience. There are two tracks of Ph.D. options as follows:
 
Full-time program
For the individuals who would like to pursue Ph.D. in house, residing on campus. These students are eligible to be considered for a monthly Institute fellowship of Rs. 28,000 or Rs. 31,000 (based on qualification) at the time of admission. The selected candidates will be required to participate in teaching and other developmental activities of the institute.
 
Part-time program
For working professionals to provide basic facilities and environment for research. Applications for Ph.D. programme are invited twice in a year and candidates are selected based on the merit.

Practice School - I

Aim of Practice School-I :

To train students in the art of information collection, processing, analysis, retrieval, presentation and documentation.

Exposure Oriented
  • Exposes the students to the integrated theme of science, i.e. how science aids man and also helps them to observe science in action.
  • Offers opportunities to students for detailed understanding of vast engineering operations introducing them to industrial infrastructure and development.
  • Enables students to observe groups of experts in management, economics, operations research, statistics, etc. working on micro as well as macro economic problems. 
  • Initiates students into technological operations and problems of industrial management.
  • Gives them an opportunity to handle extremely costly equipment and be familiar with the method of scientific experimentation.
  • Implemented at large industrial complexes.
