What SVNIT Surat actually does

Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology, Surat is an Institute of National Importance under the Ministry of Education. Students come here for engineering, science, management and humanities research, and for B.Tech and M.Tech teaching. A PhD is the research degree: coursework, a supervisor, and a thesis. It is not a placement drive and not a certificate.

If you are in Class 12, this form is not for you. The people who should look are master’s holders who want a spring-semester research seat in Surat.
