Ans. Yes, you are eligible to pursue Ph.D. (Textile Technology) directly after B.Tech if you have a relevant engineering discipline (such as Textile Technology or related engineering) with a minimum of 60% or equivalent CGPA. However, you must have completed your B.Tech from a recognized university. Additionally, candidates with B.Tech can also pursue provisional admission if they are currently pursuing a Master's degree and have completed the first two semesters with 60% or equivalent CGPA. In this case, you would need to formally hold a Master's degree before being fully admitted to the Ph.D. program. The university also considers candidates from related engineering disciplines with strong academic records and relevant research interests.

Ans. The Department of Textile Technology at Vignan University has a strong research publication record with 77+ total publications including 72 journal papers and 5+ book chapters. The department has 1 Ph.D. awarded and 12 Ph.D. scholars currently pursuing their research. Additionally, the department has 2 patents granted and 4 patents published, demonstrating the innovation-driven research culture. Faculty members and scholars have presented their research at 2 major conferences. The department's research is published in reputed indexed journals, contributing to the global knowledge base in textile technology. This strong publication record reflects the quality of research conducted at the department and enhances the academic credibility of Ph.D. graduates from Vignan University.
