What the IIITDM Kurnool PhD admission for January 2027 covers
Four areas take applications, plus an interdisciplinary route:
- Computer Science and Engineering
- Electronics and Communication Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Sciences, full-time and part-time
- Interdisciplinary Programmes, including Drone Technology
Drone technology as a named PhD route is unusual, and it fits an institute built around design and manufacturing. If your interest sits across electronics, control and mechanical design, the interdisciplinary route is worth reading before you pick a single department.
Eligibility
IIITDM Kurnool sets eligibility by department. The admission page says plainly that candidates should refer to the respective department brochure for the criteria, so download the brochure for your department and read it before you start the form. Each department also lists a coordinator with a phone number for questions about fit and areas.
Full-time or part-time
The Sciences programme is advertised in both full-time and part-time mode. A part-time route suits someone already working who can reach Kurnool for coursework and meetings. The brochure sets the residency and attendance conditions, and they differ from the full-time ones.
How to apply
Applications are online. Open the admission page, pick your department, read its brochure, then use that department’s Apply Online link. Applications close on 18 October 2026. Contact the department coordinator listed on the page if you are unsure which department suits your background.

How to prepare for this application
- Download your department's brochure first. The institute sets eligibility per department and says so on the page.
- Use the right Apply Online link. Each department has its own, and they are listed separately.
- Consider the interdisciplinary route. Drone technology sits there, and it may fit you better than a single department.
- Call the coordinator. Every department lists a name and a phone number, which is a short cut to knowing whether your background fits.
- Decide full-time or part-time early. The Sciences programme offers both and the conditions differ.
