Thank you for choosing IIT Bombay and Environmental Science and Engineering Department
(ESED; formerly CESE) and heartiest congratulations on being shortlisted for taking part in
the PhD selection process.
1. The selection process will involve two rounds of interviews, the preliminary round, and
the final round. The preliminary round will evaluate the basic scientific aptitude of the
candidates. Only those shortlisted in the preliminary round will be called for the final
interview. The final interview will evaluate the breadth and depth of scientific
understanding and research potential of the candidates, along with their motivation for
research. This round will be solely used for the final Ph.D. admission recommendations.
Additional details (dates/ schedule/ panels, etc.) will be shared with you in due time.
Tentatively the selection process will happen in the first and second week of July
2020.
Contact details of the Ph.D. coordinators and ESED office are given below in case you
have any queries (email is the preferred route of communication if needed):
2. Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic situation, the entire selection process will be
conducted remotely via video conferencing. Hence, you are requested to make suitable
arrangements (good internet connection, proper audio, video devices, etc.) at your end
to enable your adequate participation in the selection process. IIT Bombay and the
department will not be able to entertain any request for rescheduling the interview under
any circumstances beyond the scheduled timeframe.
I wish you good luck and look forward to interacting with you in the next few weeks.
