Shiv Nadar University Chennai Opens PhD Admissions for Monsoon Session, 2022-23

June 02, 2022: Shiv Nadar University is a public university in Shiv Nadar, India Shiv Nadar Foundation's third higher education endeavour, Chennai, has begun accepting applications for PhD programmes in Engineering, Commerce, Economics, Mathematics, Physics, and Interdisciplinary Research.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Speech Technology, Data Science, Biometrics, Mergers and Acquisitions, and other specialisations are available through the University's PhD programmes.

Shiv Nadar University Chennai's thrust areas of research in English Literature and English Language Teaching (ELT) are a response to the global developments that are being observed across academia. Researchers in English Literature would be encouraged to explore not only Western literary texts, but also literary texts produced in English wherever in the world, including those written in Indian English. ELT academics would similarly examine how English is learned in a multilingual India and hypothesise in ways that are appropriate to Indian circumstances rather than mindlessly following Western language learning ideas.

In addition to full-time and part-time doctoral programmes, the University will offer a highly sought-after 'Direct PhD' in Engineering for young scholars who want to start doctoral programmes right after finishing their bachelor's degree in engineering. When compared to students who pursue a two-year Master's degree followed by a PhD programme, direct PhD would save them roughly a year.

Researchers pursuing a Full-Time PhD at the University will be provided with free shared housing on campus, as well as a monthly stipend of Rs. 20,000 and a contingency of Rs. 25,000 every year to help them expand and support their research activities. Married researchers will be given special treatment by the university, who will be able to conduct their research in comfort with on-campus housing supplied by the university for a modest rent.

Candidates working as full-time academics at educational institutions or research laboratories, as well as full-time working professionals in relevant industries in India, can apply for the Part-Time PhD programme.
