About Ph.D. Research Center

Research plays a vital role in the success of any institution. Fundamental research in the field of engineering is a national challenge. Quality research in technology is the need of the hour for sustainable growth. Thakur College of Engineering and Technology (TCET) since its establishment, has a culture of nurturing research abilities at undergraduate and postgraduate level. Pursuing research leading to Ph. D. degree is both challenging and rewarding experience.


Against this background, TCET has approved Ph.D. (Technology) Research Centre of University of Mumbai (UOM) from the current academic year (A.Y.2017-18). It offers research program leading to the Ph. D. (Technology) Degree in Computer Engineering of UOM. Presently 10 seats are approved and it involves course work and other requirements as per university rules/guidelines.


In order to provide a strong platform to the researchers, academicians and scholars, TCET regularly organizes various national and international conferences, seminars, workshops and colloquium. These initiatives enable the stakeholders to build their capacity for critical examination and sound judgment, thereby facilitating them to contribute to the existing body of knowledge.
