Official Website of Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology, Jais, Amethi, India. / Ph D under AICTE Quality Improvement Programme (QIP)

The Quality improvement Programme (QIP) was launched by the Government of India in the year 1970. Since its inception, the programme has been striving for improving the quality of technical education in the country. The main objective of the programme is to upgrade the expertise and capabilities of the faculty members of the AICTE approved degree level institutions in the country.

The programme is now being implemented and monitored by All India Council for Technical Education. In “Quality Improvement Programme” only sponsored teachers are eligible for admission with the aim to enable the teachers to acquire Master’s & Doctoral degrees and imbibe in them a culture of research and better teaching educational capabilities by exposing them to the environment of the institutes of study.

Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology (RGIPT), being an Institution of National Importance established by an Act of Parliament, has been nominated as a QIP Center (Minor) for conducting Ph D programmes in Petroleum Engineering and Chemical Engineering. The total duration of the Ph D programme through QIP is 3 years.
