PhD in Electronics & Communication Engineering is a minimum three-year research-based programme offered by the Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering. The research can be in any of the broad areas in ECE. The core strength of the institute is currently in the following core areas: signal/speech /image processing, VLSI and embedded systems, robotics, and communications. The main emphasis of this programme is on a thesis. The research is expected to be of sufficient quality to be publishable in leading international journals and top conferences pertaining to an area of research. Depending upon the academic preparation, admitted students are exposed to a wide range of core and elective courses for a course work, followed by a qualifying exam to test their knowledge. In addition, students write a research proposal and start pursuing research that culminates in a Ph.D. thesis. Such an excellent combination of academic excellence in subject matters and top-notch research equips Ph.Ds with the vital knowledge and research skills necessary for pursuing highly productive careers in academia and research labs.
