Duration

  • The duration of the full-time M.Phil/Ph.D program will be for a minimum period of four (4) Semesters and a maximum period of six (6) semesters. For the part-time M.Phil/Ph.D program, it will be for a minimum period of six (6) semesters and a maximum period of ten (10) semesters.

To be eligible for admission into the Ph.D programme a candidate must possess:

a). A Master of Science (M.Sc) degree in Computer/Communications Engineering Telecommunications Engineering/Electronics Engineering / Electrical & Electronics Engineering from a recognized University or equivalent Institution with a CGPA of 3.50 on a 4 point or of 4.00 on a 5-point grade scale.

b). A Master of Philosophy (M.Phil) degree in Computer/Communications Engineering / Telecommunications Engineering / Electronics Engineering Electrical & Electronics Engineering in addition to a professional Master's degree or equivalent with a CGPA of 3.50 on a 4 point or 4.00 on a 5-point scale.

c). In addition to a) and b), a comprehensive research proposal is to be submitted to the Department, which must be defended and passed with at least 50% during the oral interview for the candidate to be considered for admission.

NOTE: A candidate may be considered for admission either for the M.Phil or for the M.Phil/Ph.D degree program.

To graduate at the M.Phil/Ph.D level, a student must complete all PG and Departmental requirements. In addition, a student must satisfy the following:

  1. Satisfactory completion of coursework requirements (at least 45 credit units)
  2. Presentation of a Research Proposal
  3. Presentation of the required number of seminars on the research
  4. Completion and defense of thesis to the satisfaction of internal and external examiners as well as satisfying the requirements of the School of Postgraduate Studies and Senate of the University.
  5. Any additional requirements as may be specified from time to time.

The total minimum requirement for a M.Phil Ph.D. degree comprises 12 credits units for the thesis in addition to satisfying the coursework credit load of 45 credit units (Coursework credit units earned for the M.Sc inclusive). The candidate graduating for the M.Phil must satisfy the minimum coursework requirements for the M.Sc in addition to the thesis requirement.

NOTE: A candidate can be presented for examination for the M.Phil/Ph.D (as the case might be) after a minimum of 24 months if he/she has satisfied all the above requirements.
