Ph. D.
IIT Gandhinagar is looking for bright and dedicated young scholars interested in research to join us
as Ph.D. scholars. Currently, we offer Ph.D. programmes in Biological Engineering, Chemical
Engineering, Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Cognitive Science, Computer Science and Engineering,Earth Sciences, Electrical Engineering, History, Language & Literature, Materials Science and
Engineering, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, Philosophy, Physics, Political Science,
Psychology, Social Epidemiology and Sociology. Prospective students satisfying the eligibility
criteria are encouraged to acquaint themselves with the research areas of our faculty members for
suitable match of interest. IIT Gandhinagar also offers aStart Early Ph.D. Fellowshipwith additional
financial support for exceptionally qualified undergraduate students from select colleges wishing to
start on a direct Ph.D. programme after B.Tech.
Minimum Eligibility Criteria
At least 55% marks or 5.5 CPI marks in M.A./M.Sc./B.Tech./M.Tech. or equivalent degree inappropriate branches. Above mentioned eligibility criteria is minimum at Institute level. For
discipline wise minimum eligibility criteria, pleaseclick here.The disciplines may use higher cut off
levels for short listing. Candidates belonging to SC/ST/PD categories would be eligible for
relaxations, as pernorms, in the selection criteria.
Credits Requirement
IIT Gandhinagar strongly believes in value addition through course work. There is a significant
number of course work a Ph.D. student needs to do depending on his/her background. Ph.D.
students entering the programme will have to take total credits ranging from 88 through 120, out of
which coursework credits (courses worth 4 credits each) can range anywhere between 32 through64 credits, depending upon the previous degree attained by the student. Out of the minimum
credits through coursework, a minimum of 12 credits are required to be completed through project-
based courses.
