Question

Puneet Singh · Answer

Dear Tirumala, I am not aware whether IIIT Hyderabad offers a part-time Ph.D. in Computer Science or not. But being alumni of LPU, I can assure you that LPU offers this programme. LPU is one of the best universities to do Ph.D. to enhance your knowledge in the research area. Let me share something about the Ph.D. program at LPU. Eligibility: You should have a minimum of 55% marks in your master's degree in a relevant subject. After that, you have to qualify for the LPUNEST exam if you have not qualified for a national level test such as GATE, UGC NET, CSIR, GPAT, etc. The entrance will have 70% weightage in selection. After that, you have to appear for an interview and qualify for the same and have 30% weightage for the final selection. You may avail of scholarships also on the basis of LPUNEST or National Level Test. There is a special scholarship for female students to pursue a full-time or part-time Ph.D. at LPU. The highlight of the program is the Flexi-Course Work option specially designed to accommodate professionals wherein a student can choose the best-suited option to complete the course work. Option 1 Classes on weekends (Saturday & Sunday only) Option 2 4 days course work every month (Preferably every second week: Thu-Sun) Note: LPU is not offering this option of coursework to agriculture students. Option 3 15 days of course work (In the month of April/May ) LPU researchers won a huge research grant worth 10.8 Million through the Indo Canadian Impact project from DBT, GOI.

Ph.D. is the degree that someone pursues after completing his or her Masters in a particular field of study. A Self-researched Thesis paper or dissertation is to be submitted to the University authority during Ph.D. is the highest university degree that can be obtained in a field of study. Majority of students who take up academics as their career have the dream to pursue a Ph.D. After studying for many years and completing Bachelors & Masters, it becomes tough for a student to invest three to five more years to academic studies and research. Part-Time Ph.D. The programme which is offered by many universities & colleges in India helps those students who want to work on something else while getting a Ph.D. It merely means that an individual can pursue a Ph.D. according to his or her convenience and pace in a part-time Ph.D. programme. There are many rules & regulations need to be followed while taking on Part-Time Ph.D. programme. For more details check www.lpu.in

PhD is a doctoral degree with an academic focus. A PhD course is usually of three years duration and candidates need to complete the course within a maximum time span of five to six years. A number of students simply enjoy the scholarly life and enroll for the sheer pleasure of learning. These naturally curious people might not have any specific career goals in mind, but a PhD is the best way to satisfy their thirst for knowledge. I have gone through the details of Ph.D course offering by LPU from their website itself.
