The PhD in CSE course leads to exciting earning opportunities for research scholars to work on a platter. You can enter into the fields of research and development and academia in particular as they offer the most suited job profiles to PhD students. Other industries such as IT advisory and consulting, healthcare, telecommunications, software development firms, etc. also actively hire PhD CSE students.
You can work as an Assistant Professor, Researcher, Data Scientist, AI and ML Engineer, Senior Software Developer, Computer Engineer, and many more profiles. The average PhD in CSE salary in India is also quite decent, between INR 6 LPA and INR 14 LPA. 

The PhD in CSE coursework requires you to study some foundational coursework that includes the fundamentals of research methodology and professional academic writing, literature review, qualitative and quantitative research, workshops, seminars, and final thesis writing. This does not allow you to customize any subject module.

Having said that, the rest of the coursework modules are in accordance with the chosen research area, where there is scope for customization. You have to conduct detailed research on a specific topic under the supervision of your supervisors and present a thesis at the end of the PhD course duration.
