Most Ph.D programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means chemical processes, heat and mass transfer, reaction engineering and plant design. Typical first jobs: process engineer in chemicals, pharma, fertilisers or energy.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask ICT Mumbai for the current semester-wise plan.

This is what the course costs, as recorded. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise.
