Pre-admission preparation classes for admission to Ph.D. Computer Science 2022-23
Quick Links

The Department of Computer Science intends to encourage candidates belonging to the OBC/SC/ST/EWS category to join the Ph.D. programme in the department. To support these candidates, the department is starting Pre-admission preparation classes only for the candidates under the reserved categories

Aim
  • To provide the candidates guidance and direction about the topics to study along with their depth. Having said this, neither the material nor the topics would be limited to the topics covered in the classes (syllabus available on the department website shall be applicable for the purpose). The aim will be achieved by way of providing topic-wise links to relevant existing video lectures.
  • To provide a platform to the students to interact with the prospective supervisors to get familiar with their areas of interest.
Who is eligible?

Candidates belonging to the OBC/SC/ST/EWS category, who apply for admission to the PhD program in the Department of Computer Science, University of Delhi for the academic year 2021-22.

Registration

Candidates will be required to register for the classes with the department in addition to applying at the University portal. There will be no additional registration fee.

General Information
  • A modular plan containing topics related to fundamentals of Computer Science, links to relevant existing video lectures and topic-wise practice questions are shared here.
  • Topic-wise 2 hours of doubt classes will be held with an instructor. Applicants can get their doubts on the topic cleared at this time. To make the best use of this time, students can post their doubts before-hand at a platform provided at the start of the classes.
  • The aim of these classes will be to resolve the doubts or queries related to the topics.
Interaction with Supervisors

In addition to the above classes, there will be an interaction session between the students and the supervisors where the supervisors will provide an exposure to the participants of their research work. This will help the candidates to not only reach out to the supervisors but also to know the research areas of their interests.

Schedule for Interaction with the Supervisors: TBA
