Ph.D. in Computer Science in 6 Semester Program (18 )
Ph.D. in Computer Science is Six (06) semesters program as approved by graduate studies office.
Pre-requisite:
- MS/M.Phil or equivalent degree (18 years education) in Computer Science from any HEC recognized University/Institute with minimum 3CGPA.
- GRE/GAT (subject) Test cleared
OR
- A candidate studying in MS/M.Phil degree in computer science, subject to qualifying MS/M.Phil 24 credit hours course work with minimum CGPA 3 is also eligible for transfer of his/her MS/MPhil to Ph.D program, provided (a) Candidate have successfully defended the first MS/MPhil seminar (b) GRE/GAT (Subject) Test has been cleared. The registration of the candidate enrolled for MS/M.Phil shall be transferred for Ph.D degree on the recommendation of the supervisor and the scrutiny committee with the condition that he/she will have to submit fresh synopsis specifying additional research to be carried out. Synopsis should not be more than one thousand (1000) words.
Objective of the Program
- To produce well-trained teaching faculty and researchers in the areas related to Computer Science.
Structure of the Program
The Ph.D degree can be earned in six semesters through:
- 18 credit hours PhD course work during first year (in two semesters).
- Thesis on the topic duly approved by the Advanced Studies and Research Board.
- On completion of thesis work, an ‘Open Seminar’ is delivered before submitting the thesis. The thesis should be a piece of work embodying either a discovery of new facts or fresh interpretation of facts or theories, in either case the work show the candidate’s capability for synthesis of data, its critical examination and judgment.
- Finally a candidate has to appear in an oral examination to defend his thesis.
