Ph.D Technology at CEPT University, Ahmedabad Offline Course

The PhD program has been designed for four and a half years. The programme facilitates advanced scholarly inquiry, empowering candidates to generate knowledge through original, high-impact research within the spheres of building engineering, technology, science, and construction.

The first year is devoted to full-time, in-residence coursework that builds advanced theoretical, conceptual, and methodological foundations. During this period, doctoral students may also engage in teaching assistance and/or faculty-led research projects.

At the end of the coursework phase (semester 3), the students undergo a qualifying examination to demonstrate competence in their disciplinary field and proposed area of specialisation. The successful candidates are then awarded the PhD candidacy in the program.

During semester 4, PhD candidates develop and defend a detailed doctoral research proposal under the guidance of a Dissertation Advisory Committee. On clearing this stage, the candidates are given up to two and a half years (until the end of Semester 9) to complete and submit their doctoral dissertation for external examination.
