We welcome applications from our own students and also from students of other recognized institutions, from India and abroad. However, it should be noted that admission to the Ph.D. program is highly selective; there are always many more qualified applicants than can be admitted.

The Ph. D. Programme at NIIT University is designed to build great careers for domain specialists, professors and advanced researchers in the fields of Computer Science & Engineering, Educational Technology, Bioinformatics and Biotechnology and in the Business Management Areas. In today’s knowledge society, remaining a generalist is often not enough. Although professionals who have only a bachelor’s degree qualification are often well-equipped as generalists with the basic fundamentals across multiple areas, they lack the depth of knowledge required to compete for the more specialized positions in industry and academia.

With close faculty supervision throughout, NIIT University ensures one-on-one interaction and monitoring of each participant’s progress through the programme by a supervisor who is a domain expert in the field.
