CMRIT offers a three-year, part-time Ph.D. Mathematics through its VTU-recognised Mathematics Research Centre. The centre started in 2009 and has 8 research supervisors, 8 scholars pursuing Ph.D. and 1 completed Ph.D. The course suits working teachers and research staff who can meet a supervisor while keeping their job. The full fee without hostel is INR 1.84 Lakhs, paid as a yearly research fee. Selection uses ULRAT and a pre-registration interview. CMRIT lists NAAC A++ and the campus sits in Bangalore, close to IT and analytics teams. The institute placement page reports 349+ offers above INR 7 LPA.
The full course costs INR 1.84 Lakhs without hostel and INR 2.44 Lakhs with research visits and books. The tuition fee is INR 1.84 Lakhs. You pay the research fee once each year, three times in all. CMRIT does not publish a separate hostel rule for this part-time course, so the added cost is a study-cost estimate.
