Ph.D

The Doctor of Philosophy programme at AIIMS Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, is a research degree undertaken under the guidance of a faculty supervisor within one of the institute's academic or clinical departments. Candidates admitted to this programme work on an original research problem in their chosen area, moving through defined stages that typically include coursework or qualifying assessment, a research proposal, data collection and analysis, and a written thesis that is later defended before a panel of examiners. The programme suits candidates who already hold a postgraduate qualification in a relevant discipline and wish to build an academic or research career in medical or allied health sciences rather than move directly into clinical practice. The department, area of research and duration of study for individual candidates depend on the specific project and supervisor at AIIMS Rishikesh. Intake for this programme is not published in this record; the number of seats offered each year is decided by the institute and filled according to the admission process and category norms it follows for that session, so the current notification is the source to check.
