Ph.D. Computer Science

Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science

Purpose of the PhD program is to produce high-quality researchers who could impart in shaping the county into a form that the technologically advanced countries have at this time.
PhD program aims to develop skills in the student so that may review the research work of renowned researchers and scholars of a particular domain, write critical reviews, carryout scientifically recognized research.
The PhD program has been designed to fulfill to fulfill the academic as well as professional requirements of the industry and academia to conduct high quality research.
Program also focus on providing qualified and trained manpower for teaching and research at university level while acquiring advanced concepts in computer science and the related fields to undertake research programs and execute research projects of national and international importance.
One of the purposes of the PhD is not to do a business rather supporting the students to continue their learning and delivering process.
