Joint Doctoral Degree Programme with Foreign Universities

At present, IIT Roorkee has partnership under Joint Doctoral Degree Programme with the following universities:


Joint supervision in project/dissertation/thesis

No agreement is required for this purpose. For Bachelors and Masters students, the supervisor shall send an email to our office for the records about international collaboration.

PhD students of other institutes/universities can choose an IIT Roorkee faculty as their co-supervisor. The IITR faculty should follow the guidelines provided here and send the forms to arevaluation@iitr.ac.in with a copy to office.ir@iitr.ac.in.

PhD students of IIT Roorkee can include an external supervisor (inclusive of an international supervisor) through the Finalization of Supervisors Form. Addition of a supervisor at a later stage (but before their comprehensive examination) is possible through the special SRC recommendation form (Point 8 A).
