Invertis Institute of Engineering and Technology Bareilly Ph.D Mechanical Engineering: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. The annual fee for Ph.D. Mechanical Engineering at IIET Bareilly is INR 62,000 under the general quota, comprising INR 50,000 tuition and INR 12,000 other charges. The total for the minimum 3-year duration is INR 1,86,000, not including optional hostel charges. UGC or CSIR fellowship holders receive monthly stipends that can substantially offset these costs during the programme.

Ans. GATE or UGC or CSIR NET-JRF qualification is strongly preferred and gives candidates priority in the Ph.D. ME selection process. Candidates without these credentials may also apply through the Research Aptitude Test conducted by Invertis University, followed by a personal interview. RAT and interview performance together determine the final selection ranking for all Ph.D. applicants in Mechanical Engineering.

Ans. Research areas include thermal engineering, manufacturing processes, machine design, industrial engineering, materials science, fluid mechanics, and renewable energy systems. The specific topics available in any admission cycle depend on the research interests of active supervisors in the Mechanical Engineering department. Applicants should contact the department directly to confirm supervisor availability before submitting an application.

Ans. The minimum duration is 3 years from the date of registration, as mandated by UGC regulations. Most candidates take 4 to 5 years to complete the programme, depending on research depth, data collection timelines, and thesis writing. Annual progress reviews by the supervisor and the Invertis University research committee determine eligibility for continuation and for conversion from provisional to full Ph.D. registration.

Ans. Yes, Invertis University is recognised by UGC under section 2(f) of the UGC Act. A Ph.D. from a UGC-recognised university qualifies graduates to apply for assistant professor positions in AICTE-approved engineering colleges after clearing NET or SLET. Candidates are advised to verify the current UGC recognition status of Invertis University on the official UGC portal before enrolling to confirm current standing.
