About the Program
A research driven program mainly meant for candidates with a background in the domain of building/building systems design and construction. It provides a focus for those interested in the development and application of advanced technology for buildings.
Please see the current/past research activities on the Research Centre’s web page, to get an idea of the gamut of research undertaken/promoted at the centre.
Objectives:
The students get an opportunity to work on research problems related to design of high performance buildings.
Advantages:
The programme is interdisciplinary in nature. Student from different backgrounds would get an overall knowledge of the building science domain with specialization in one particular area. This integrated approach would help students in comfortably continuing further research or working in the field of high performance buildings in area of their specialization.
Duration:
Three to Five years
Eligibility
B.E/B.Tech/M.E/M.Tech all branches,B.Arch/M.Arch, MCA.

III. Dissertation proposal defense
The student is expected to defend the dissertation proposal in front of an appropriate committee appointed by the Dean (Research). A student is declared a PhD candidate after this requirement is satisfied.
IV. Dissertation Final defense
On submission of the full thesis and clearing the final defense, the student will be awarded the PhD.
Yearly Review The progress of the student will be reviewed once every year, till the thesis proposal is submitted. If in the first 2 years, there has been no satisfactory progress, the candidate will be asked to leave the PhD program.
