IIT Delhi Opens PhD, MS Research Admissions for Internationals

• IIT Delhi opens PhD and M.S. Research admissions for international students.
• Applications available online; deadline for submission is October 30, 2025.
• Programs offer research opportunities with experienced faculty and advanced facilities.

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, a premier institution renowned for its excellence in engineering, science, and technology, has opened applications for international students seeking admission to its PhD and M.S. Research programs for the Spring semester of the 2025-26 academic year.

The application window, which began today, will close on October 30, 2025, and interested candidates must submit their applications online via the official IIT Delhi website, where detailed program information and the application form are available.

The PhD program, the highest academic degree, involves several years of in-depth study and original research, typically requiring a Master's degree for eligibility. In contrast, the M.S. (Research) program is a research-focused Master's degree, distinct from traditional classroom-based programs, where students work on significant research projects, often culminating in a thesis, and is suitable for those with a Bachelor's degree aiming to develop strong research skills or pursue a PhD.

This admission opportunity is exclusively for international students, defined as non-Indian citizens, as announced on IIT Delhi’s official social media, which stated, “IIT Delhi is happy to invite international students to its PhD and M.S. (Research) programs for the second semester of the 2025–26 academic year.”
