Embark on an Extraordinary Journey: Join Our Prestigious Ph.D. Programme

Dear applicants,

Enrolling in a research degree program is a long-term commitment requiring students to delve deeper into a specific study area. Students collaborate with their supervisor and the doctoral committee shortly after enrollment to brainstorm potential problems. Through a thorough literature review, the team identifies gaps and formulates a hypothesis. This step is crucial and significant for the student.

Once the hypothesis is formulated, students, supervisors, and other academic companions identify appropriate methodologies to conduct in-depth experiments and gather evidence. This marks the beginning of your investigation. You'll face many challenges during this four to five-year journey. Not all experiments will yield the desired results, and sometimes you will need to change your experimental tools or revisit the proposed hypothesis.

The journey can often be frustrating and appear more transpirational than inspirational. This is where research students require moral, emotional, and intellectual support. At GITAM, with its conducive atmosphere, research infrastructure, and highly qualified faculty, we provide an intellectually stimulating ecosystem. We aim to transform your frustrations into valuable learning experiences and nurture you into a mature, independent researcher ready to face future challenges.
