PhD @ IIIT Kottayam

IIIT Kottayam launched its doctoral programme to impart the knowledge, skills, and attitude to do world-class research in the area of computer science and its allied fields. Few PhD Scholars have been awarded scholarships under various schemes from different funding agencies, like DST. Institute may provide teaching assistantships to eligible students as per prevailing norms. Our scholars are now collaborating with international universities to enhance their research works. The faculties of the Engineering departments and Computational Science and Humanities department along with their research scholars, perform cutting-edge research in their respective domains and have resulted in highly acclaimed publications in reputed Journals and Conferences, as well as Patents in their respective domains. Our faculties also take industrial consultancy projects, apart from sponsored research projects and collaborative projects with Industry/Academia within India and abroad.
