Admission Process

Ph.D
1.1        Minimum qualification for admission to Ph.D. in Engineering Sciences shall be B.E./B.Tech. or equivalent from a recognized university or institute. The candidates having M.Sc. or equivalent degree and having aptitude for research in Engineering may also be considered for admission to Ph.D. programme in Engineering Sciences.

1.2        Minimum qualification for admission to Ph.D. in Science or Mathematics shall be M.Sc. or M.B.B.S. or equivalent from a recognized university or institute. The candidates having B.E./B.Tech. or equivalent degree and having aptitude for research in Science or Mathematics may also be considered for admission to Ph.D. programme in Science or Mathematics.

1.3        Admission to the Ph.D. programme shall be by interview of the applicants who may be short listed by a screening examination approved by the Academic Council.

1.4        The CI to which the candidate is admitted for the Ph.D. programme, shall allot each candidate to a mentor or a guide and, if necessary, a co-guide. In case the candidate is assigned only a mentor, his/her guide shall be identified as soon as possible but not later than the end of his/her second year in the doctoral programme. The guide shall be identified by taking into consideration the academic interests of the concerned candidate and the research profile of the CI to which the candidate is admitted. The guide and, where applicable, co-guide could be from any Institute or University with which HBNI has an agreement of cooperation. To get guidance on issues related to technology, a student may have a guide and a Technology Adviser. A Technology Adviser will be an individual who has demonstrated abilities in technology development or engineering design in areas related with the research topic of the student. Only the guide has to have recognition as faculty from HBNI.

1.5     To encourage inter-disciplinary research, a candidate may have two guides. The guides could be from different CIs. However, the student will belong to a particular CI.
