Jaypee Institute of Information Technology ( JIIT ) PhD Entrance Examination

PhD | JIIT PhD | Electronics and Communication Syllabus

The Ph.D. programmes are available in various specializations - Biotechnology, Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Humanities & Social Sciences, Mathematics, Physics & Materials Science and Engineering, Management. The Scholars are required to take up intensive research work under the guidance of a supervisor on a specific problem for a minimum duration as specified. The research work is expected to result in new findings contributing to the advancement of knowledge in the chosen field. The doctoral research programme gives an opportunity to students to demonstrate their analytical, innovative and independent thinking abilities leading to creativity and application of knowledge. The scholars are required to deliver seminars on their research progress regularly and publish their work.

Finally, they are required to submit the thesis embodying their research findings for the award of the Ph.D. degree. They are also required to undergo some advanced level course work. Financial support may be provided to select deserving full time Ph.D. students in the form of Research/Teaching Assistantship.

Research scholars in the areas given below will be preferred, however, scholars interested in other related areas may also be considered.
