Designed for scholars who wish to contribute original knowledge to the field, the program in 2026 is heavily oriented toward interdisciplinary research and technological innovation in areas like AI, Sustainable Energy, and Advanced Materials.
1. Research Disciplines
Ph.D. programs are offered in various engineering specializations, including but not limited to:
Computer Science & Engineering: AI/ML, Data Science, Cyber Security, and Cloud Computing.
Electronics & Communication: VLSI Design, RF & Microwave, and 5G/6G Communication.
Mechanical Engineering: Robotics, Thermal Sciences, and Advanced Manufacturing.
Civil Engineering: Structural Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and Geotechnical Studies.
Electrical Engineering: Smart Grids, Power Electronics, and Renewable Energy.
2. Eligibility & Admission (2026 Batch)
Educational Requirement: A Master’s degree (M.Tech/M.E.) in a relevant engineering branch with at least 55% marks (50% for SC/ST/OBC candidates).
Direct Entry (B.Tech to Ph.D.): Candidates with a B.E./B.Tech and a minimum of 75% marks plus five years of industry/R&D experience may be eligible under specific university norms.
Entrance Exam: * Admission is through the Subharti University Entrance Test (SUET) .
Exemptions: Candidates who have qualified GATE, UGC-NET (JRF), or CSIR-NET are typically exempted from the written test but must attend the interview.
Selection Process: A combination of the Entrance Test (70% weightage) and a Personal Interview/Research Proposal Presentation (30% weightage).
3. Fee Structure (Estimated for 2026)
The total investment for a 3-year Ph.D. program is approximately ₹3.25 Lakhs to ₹3.93 Lakhs, depending on the specific research facilities required.
Year 1 Fees: Approximately ₹1.25 Lakhs to ₹1.67 Lakhs (includes registration and coursework fees).
Subsequent Years: Approximately ₹1.00 Lakh per annum.
Caution Money: ₹25,000 (Refundable).
4. Research Ecosystem
As a "Research Driven" institution, Subharti provides a robust environment for scholars:
