3 A BRIEF PROFILE OF THE UNIVERSITY The Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur, established as Calcutta Civil Engineering College, way back in 1856, with the idea of introducing engineering education in the country, has long and glorious past. In the year 1920, the college was renamed as Bengal Engineering College, Shibpur. Till 1992, it was a constituent college of the Calcutta University and has been offering PG Courses in Engineering since In recognition of its service to the nation for all these years, the college was elevated to the status of a Deemed University in 1992 and the then Honorable President of India, Dr. Sankar Dayal Sharma formally inaugurated the University on March 13, From 1 st October 2004, the Institute was further elevated to the status of a State University and was renamed as Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur. In the year 2014 the institute was taken over by the Central Government and was renamed as Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur. Presently the institute is an Institute of National Importance. The vision of the Institute is to be one of the best ten excellent engineering and science Institute of the country, committed to transforming India to a developed nation and partnering in the realization of the Developed India Vision 2020, through development of world-class engineers and scientists. The prime areas of activity of the institute is creation of knowledge and dissemination of knowledge in an environment of research which ensures that teaching and learning are conditioned by the latest research, and the nation is endowed with skilled manpower of the highest quality. The Institute covers a pleasant green area of nearly 49 hectares and has the following in campus facilities. A well equipped Gymnasium Well maintained sports fields Students Canteen Hostel for P.G. students Campus-wide networking Students Innovation/Creativity Centre Hospital Well equipped Institute hall for cultural activities Three on campus banks with ATM counter University Guest House Swimming Pool It is located in a sylvan surrounding on the bank of the holy and mighty river Hooghly, adjacent to the famous Indian Botanic Garden and is 15 minutes drive from the heart of the city of Kolkata.

4 Ph D programme: The Institute offers Ph D programmes under the Engineering and Technology Faculty from 10 departments, 7 schools and 2 centres. The Ph D programme starts with enrollment and followed by a registration which is to be done within six months after the enrollment. A registered candidate thereafter is required to complete the work within maximum 5 years from the date of registration. Extension to the registration is granted for 1 year and a maximum of two such extensions may be permitted. The research areas offered by different Departments, Schools and Centers are furnished in Table-II. ELIGIBILITY To be eligible for enrollment in a Department/School/centre belonging to the Faculty of Engineering and Technology a candidate should have a Master s Degree in Engineering/Architecture/Town and Regional Planning/ or any related branch of Science. HOW TO APPLY Applications are accepted on-line only. Prospective candidates are advised to see the announcements in the website ( for detailed information. ACCOMODATION A limited number of seats are available in different halls which are to be shared with PG students. A separate research scholars hall is coming up soon. FEES Application for enrollment fee (non-refundable) is Rs. 500/-. Enrollment fee is Rs. 2000/-. Registration fee is Rs. 3000/- initially and Rs. 2000/- each semester thereafter. Finally, submission (and resubmission; if any) of thesis fee is Rs. 5000/-. The examination fee is Rs. 500/- in a semester whenever a candidate is appearing in a theoretical examination that is linked with completion of courses as decided by the doctoral committee for that student. For Hostel/Hall accommodation, the charges are to be paid separately. At present the expenditure is to the tune of Rs. 2500/- per month. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Institutional scholarships are available for the deserving candidates (based on merit) in each cycle. The financial package is similar to UGC JRF scheme; however HRA is not available.

5 Other than the University fellowships, one may enjoy scholarships from different Government (UGC,CSIR, DST etc.) and Private bodies (under sponsored projects from the Industries) as per the financial packages offered by those organizations. Moreover, Ph D scholarships may be available under QIP and TEQIP schemes.
