IIIT-Allahabad has also several openings for Ph.D candidates : Few short listed candidates having excellent academic record and having B.Tech from premier institutes like IITs, NITs, IIITs etc. followed by M.Tech (through GATE) from these institutions/abroad having desire to participate in teaching and research will be offered a Ph.D position in the different laboratories of the institute with usual Ph.D stipend and other benefits comparable to that are offered at IITs.
