Fully Funded PhD Program for International Students at BITS GOA

I am pleased to invite applications from motivated and talented students for a fully funded PhD project on “Drop impact dynamics” under the BITS Pilani University international PhD Program.

The project will investigate droplet impact dynamics, interfacial phenomena, and fluid mechanics, with applications in surface cleaning, coating technologies, spray cooling, printing, and advanced manufacturing. The research will involve experimental and computational analysis of droplet behaviour.

Eligibility: Prospective candidate should be a foreign National i.e. he/she must be holding a passport of a country other than India. Candidates with a background in Chemical, Mechanical, Aerospace, or Materials Science Engineering, or M.Sc. in relevant disciplines, with a CGPA of 6.0 or above in B.E./B.Tech, M.E./M.Tech, or M.Sc., are encouraged to apply.

✨ Program Highlights

• 🎓 International PhD degree from BITS Pilani (India)
• 💰 BITS fellowship: ₹34,000-37,000/- per month
