Under the academic authorization of TU, all the 'Departmental Research Committees (DRCs)' at the IoE are eligible to offer study and research program leading to the award of the degree of PhD. Institute of Engineering Research Committee (IERC) regulates the PhD program. IoE started PhD program in 1997, however, until 2015, PhD scholars enrolled through few specific project fundings. IoE started to take regular intake of PhD studies since 2015. Accordingly, PhD Rules and Regulations was formulated in 2015, which was subsequently amended in 2017, 2018 and 2019. This updated regulation considers the latest decisions and/or updates in rules/regulations/ guidelines/directives of University Grants Commission (UGC), TU's Executive Council and Academic Council.
