Applications are invited for rolling admission throughout the year under the following schemes.

  • Institute Fellowship scheme
  • Visvesvaraya Ph.D. Scheme for Electronics and IT (No slots are available at present)
  • Various research projects in operation at IIITD

It is meant for candidates who have a clear idea of the area they want to work. The interested candidates are expected to interact with the concerned faculty member(s) in IIIT-Delhi and get their consent for working with him/her. However, such candidates will undergo a full selection process before being admitted to the Ph.D. program.
