Ph.D. in Nuclear Science & Technology
About the Programme
The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Nuclear Science & Technology at Mody University of Science and Technology is a specialised doctoral programme designed for researchers who wish to contribute to the advancement of nuclear science in areas such as nuclear reactor physics, radiation safety, nuclear medicine, and nuclear materials. This is one of the rare Ph.D. programmes in nuclear science available at a private university in India.
Offered at a distinguished engineering university in Rajasthan, this programme provides doctoral scholars with a rigorous research environment and access to nuclear science faculty with deep academic and research expertise. As nuclear energy becomes increasingly central to India's clean energy strategy, research in this domain is of growing national importance. Graduates of this programme are prepared for careers in nuclear research establishments, energy institutions, and academia.
Eligibility Criteria
