About Ph.D. program in association with ARAI

The design and development of present-day automobiles lay more emphasis on safe, smart and sustainable mobility. More and more research is required in connected, autonomous, shared and electric mobility. R&D efforts in these fields need to address issues such as emission, climate change, fuel economy, noise, vibration and harshness, alternate energy, design of powertrain, electric & hybrid vehicles, advanced automotive materials and manufacturing, vehicle crashworthiness, structural dynamics, electronic control and embedded systems, mechatronics, information technology, recyclability, etc. There is a need to carry out cutting-edge research in the aforementioned areas.

ARAI and MIT-WPU have agreed to pool their resources to support research work leading to a Ph.D. Programme. Both ARAI and MIT-WPU will recognise the expertise and the research adequacy for each research work undertaken. MIT-WPU, by virtue of being a University, shall award Degree in association with ARAI, as per its statute and rules & regulations.
