Collaborative PhD Program

IIIT-Delhi has also started a collaborative PhD program focussing on explicit collaboration between IIIT-Delhi and some globally renowned labs and universities. In addition to the features of the regular PhD program, other salient features of the collaborative PhD program are:

  • A student will be admitted to the PhD program at IIIT-Delhi, and the degree will be granted by the same.
  • Interview for admission may be done jointly by IIIT-Delhi and the partner group.
  • The main supervisor of the PhD scholar will be from IIIT-Delhi; there may be a co-supervisor from the partner group.
  • After completing the course work at IIIT-Delhi, the student may spend 3 months to 1 year with the co-supervisor at the partner group/institution for dissertation research.
  • While the scholar is at the partner group/organization, the stipend will be paid as per their norms.
