Currently, the Ph.D program is only open to students with a postgraduate degree from a recognized University. However, if a candidate with only a BTech / BE degree, wants to pursue the PhD programme, he/she must have substantial years of work experience to supplement his academic background. Also, he/she is not eligible to pursue Ph.D in the same B.Tech/BE discipline, and can take up the PhD only in other disciplines. This is a 3-year PhD program, and does not include provisions for an integrated Masters + PhD.
Yes, if a candidate is working and intends to do a part-time Ph.D, he/she needs to submit a NOC from their respective employers.
Only those applications, which have been completed accurately and in full, and that, include the relevant certificates and other documents, as attachments will be considered. Candidates will be shortlisted, and those candidates who have been selected are required to take the entrance examination (held in the University premises) and appear for a personal interview. The exact date, time and venue of the exam will be communicated to each shortlisted candidate. The final results will be announced once the marks obtained by the candidates in their postgraduate examination, entrance examination and personal interview have been consolidated.
The PhD entrance examination consists of two papers i.e 1. General Aptitude & Research Methodology and 2. A domain-specific subject as studied at the postgraduate level. Both papers consist of 60 multiple-choice questions and the time allotted for each paper will be one hour each.
Yes, Candidates with an M.Phil degree from a recognized University will be exempt from taking the entrance examination, if the degree has been obtained on or after July 11, 2009.

No. We currently only offer the programme as a full time and part time course.
If you have completed the entire coursework in any recognized university, then yes. The course credits of your current PhD course may be transferrable, and if so, you would have completed the coursework requirement. You would be able to dive directly into the research work rather than taking up the coursework alongwith the other regular candidates.
CMR University will assign research supervisors to all eligible candidates.
For the January batch the coursework will begin in the month of March. For the July batch, the coursework will commence in the month of October every year. Classes will be held on weekends, and on alternative Saturday and Sundays. The exact schedule will be communicated to all candidates in advance.
