Ph.D (Software Engineering) is a third level of higher learning in software engineering after the masters degree. Usually the time taken to complete the Ph.D. in software engineering is between 3 to 5 years. This entails course work, formulation of a research proposal and a research on an area of software engineering hitherto unknown culminating into submission of dissertation or thesis. The doctorate assists in the acquisition of expertise in one of the areas of software engineering while offering students the opportunity to pursue careers in academic institutions or employment in software industries. From the course, students obtain deep understanding of software development paradigms, develop research abilities, and create new insights to the software engineering theory and/or practice.
Some recognized entrance exams for admissions into the Ph.D. (Software Engineering) course are the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) that includes a paper on Computer Science and Information Technology and other national/ university level tests like the Joint Admission Test for MSc (JAM). Universities may also permit those who meet the pre-requisites to write interviews or may have other requirements for admissions. Many universities demand international students to present TOEFL or IELTS to demonstrate their English language proficiency if the medium of instruction is English. These passing marks of accepted exams differ from university to university and from year to year.
