PhD Program

Plaksha's vision is firmly rooted in interdisciplinary research to address grand challenges in the world. State-of-the-art laboratories across the campus support research in a range of fields. Four dedicated research centers take on one grand challenge each: clean energy, water security, personal and equitable health, and sustainable agriculture.

The PhD program at Plaksha is unique, preparing doctoral students for the future by combining domain knowledge with research training and portable skills, leading to the highest level of academic and professional achievement. The program involves in-depth research in the concerned field of study, and inculcates a high level of dedication and commitment as well as the ability to work independently and conduct original research.

Currently, more than 30 PhD scholars are actively pursuing research in various disciplines under the supervision of faculty members trained from institutions in India and abroad. Hostel accommodation is also available for PhD students.
