No. M.Phil. has been discontinued by UGC. The pathway is now directly from Master's (or 4-year Bachelor's with research) to Ph.D.

Yes. Candidates must appear for the Ph.D. Entrance Test (PET) conducted by the University unless exempted.

Candidates who have cleared GATE (EC/EE/IN), CSIR NET, UGC NET (JRF), or JEST are exempted from the PET but must still appear for the Personal Interview.

Yes, but only if your degree is a 4-year "Honours with Research" program in Electronics / E&TC with at least 75% marks (70% for reserved categories). Traditional 3-year B.Sc. degrees do not qualify.

The program is designed as a full-time research program. Candidates with professional experience may be considered, but hardware or simulation-based research requires significant lab time. Part-time options may be available in exceptional cases (subject to university rules).

Yes. The Ph.D. program is UGC-approved, ensuring the degree is recognized for academic and government positions.
