Admission to the PhD Programmes

Admission to the Ph.D. programmes is normally made on the basis of a interview conducted by the Department/Centre concerned through its Department research committee (DRC) / Centre research committee (CRC). DRC/CRC may decide to conduct a written test as well to screen the candidates.

Minimum Qualifications for admission to Full-time PhD Programmes:

The following table defines the minimum qualifications required for admission to full-time PhD programmes at IIT Delhi for General / OBC category students. Please note:
• These are Institute minimum requirements and any Department/Centre operating through their DRC/CRC can specify higher short-listing criteria than what is specified here.
• This table includes most of the degrees but each DRC/CRC is free to specify the qualifications and disciplines acceptable for admission to their programmes.
• Candidates in the final year of their programmes and who expect to complete all their qualifying degree requirements before third week of December 2008 are eligible to apply for admissions. For short-listing purposes, their performance till the preceding semester (preceding year if their
programmes are year based) would be considered but their admission would be subject to their meeting the minimum eligibility criteria after their final qualifying examination results are
announced.

Minimum performance in the qualifying degree for general/ OBC category students

M.Tech./M.E./M.D. 60% marks or 6.75 CGPA or equivalent on a 10-point scale
M.Sc./MBA/M.A./MBBS - 60% marks or 6.75 CGPA on a 10-point scale
B.E./B.Tech 70% marks or 7.5 CGPA or equivalent on a 10-point scale

Minimum Qualifications for admission to Part-time and Sponsored (full-time) PhD Programmes:

The following eligibility conditions apply for the Part-time and sponsored full-time programmes.
1. Only employees of Public Sector Undertakings or Government Departments or Research and Development Organizations or Private Industries (approved by Faculty Boards) are eligible for admission to these programmes.
2. All candidates should have a minimum experience of two years as on 1st January, 2009 for admission in January 2009.
3. Minimum qualification for these candidates is the same as for full-time candidates except that the requirement of qualifying in a national examination (column 3 in Table 1) is waived off.
4. For part-time candidates from outside NCR (or at a radial distance of more than 50 KMs from IIT Delhi), there is a minimum residency requirement of 6 months.

DRC/CRC may specify a higher residency requirement based on the courses recommended as well as the background.

Sponsored (full-time) candidates seeking admission to a Ph.D programme on the basis of study leave, must submit a “Sponsorship certificate” on a proper letterhead from the appropriate authority in the organization clearly stating the following:
- for the period of his/her studies in the programme, the candidate would be treated as on duty with usual salary and allowances, and
- that he/she will be fully relieved and granted study leave for a minimum period of 3years (2 years for M.Tech. and equivalent degree holders).

Part-time candidates are required to submit a “No Objection Certificate” on a proper letterhead from the appropriate authority in the organization clearly stating the following:
- the candidate is permitted to pursue studies on a part-time basis
- that his/her official duties permit him/her to devote sufficient time for research.
- facilities for research in the candidate’s field of research are available at the candidate’s place of work; and
- he/she will be fully relieved from duty and permitted to reside at the Institute for the period required residency (This is not a requirement for candidates who are working in NCR or in organizations located within a distance of 50 KMs from the Institute).
