A Ph.D. (mechanical) at IT Guwahati typically takes around 5-6 years to complete. There is no fixed time limit to complete a PhD at IIT Guwahati as there are several factors that affect your PhD degree. My friend submitted his thesis last December and it’s still under review.

Many seniors completed their Ph.D. exceptionally early within 2-3 years.

The only thing you require is relentless efforts to score the best and satisfy your faculty advisor.
