POSTGRADUATE PROGRAM
The degree of telecommunication engineering has been created to
produce professionals with a thorough understanding of the theoretical
principles of the new communication technologies. The course provides
a firm foundation of these theoretical principles and is reinforced
by practical work involving the design, testing and implementation
of actual systems. The course aims to produce engineers who are
versatile, adaptable and possess technical knowledge and analytical
capability together with some of the practical design skills relevant
to the modern telecommunications industry.
Why study this subject?
Electronics is essential to the modern world of instant global communication.
The subject has a history going back 60 years or more, but it is
only in the last 30 years that electronics has become indispensable
in the form of powerful and low-cost computers accessible to all.
Applications include: digital media for audio and video storage
and reproduction; satellite navigation systems which can pinpoint
a location anywhere on earth to within a meter; digital cameras
and camcorders at affordable prices; and automated manufacturing
that makes many products reliable and inexpensive.
Telecommunications have been revolutionized by modern electronics,
making possible worldwide instant telephony with automated international
dialing and, of course, the internet is possible only because of
advanced optical communication which links the continents with sufficient
capacity to carry all the intercontinental internet and telephony
traffic over submarine cables. None of this would be possible without
the technology, but it is also the design and development engineers
and graduates in electronic engineering and telecommunications engineering
that make possible the products that we all use, directly or indirectly,
in our daily lives.
Demand for telecommunications engineers is high throughout the
world. The profession offers a range of careers from design and
development to marketing, management, production engineering and
applications engineering. Graduates also find employment in other
disciplines because of the highly numerate nature of the subject.

with the myriad of new telecommunication products being floated
in the world market today.
Admissions
The admissions in this program are conducted on yearly basis (usually
in June/July every year). The applicants can opt for Full-Time Studies
(Program Duration: 18 months) or Part-Time Studies (Program Duration:
max 48 months). Whereas: the students who opt for full-time studies
have to perform TA/RA duties with the Principal Investigators in
the department and these students are given fee wavier as well as
15000-Rs (Fifteen Thousand Rupees) a month stipend.
PhD in Telecommunication Engineering
About the Program
The PhD in Telecommunication Engineering degree is awarded for candidates
who successfully complete the taught courses and research components
of the program. The students are required to complete a program
of advanced courses in engineering. The students are also required
to carry out an independent investigation of a specialized area
of engineering. Candidates for this degree are supervised by experienced
researchers (PI: Principal Investigators) and are expected to demonstrate
initiative in their approach and innovation in their work. Ph.D.
Candidates prepare and present a thesis on their chosen area. Research
may be undertaken in several topics corresponding to the areas of
focus identified by the department as given:
- Wireless and Mobile Communication Group (PI: Prof. Dr. Adeel
Akram)
- RF and Microwave Group (PI: Asst. Prof. Dr. Yasar Amin)
- Antenna Design Group (PI: Asst. Prof. Dr. Rashid Saleem)
- Optical Communication and Networks Group (PI: Asst. Prof. Dr.-Ing.
Rameez Asif)
Program Goals
The aim of the Ph.D. in Telecommunication Engineering program
is to produce graduates able to conduct research independently at
the highest level of originality and quality.
The goals of the program are to:
- Provide graduates with high specialization in their field of
study
- Equip graduates with research skills and techniques
- Equip graduates with research communication skills
- Equip graduates with research management skills
- Provide graduates with good understanding of the research environment
and its requirements
- Equip graduates with personal effectiveness skills
- Produce graduates who will make substantial contributions to
academics, industry, business, and the community
- Undertake and publish research that is relevant to industry
and business, and is highly regarded by the international community
