A Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Human Bioenergetics is a specialized research degree that focuses on the study of how the body produces and uses energy. Bioenergetics is the study of the energy flow and transformations within living systems, and human bioenergetics specifically focuses on the energy systems of the human body, including metabolism, muscle physiology, and exercise physiology.
Students pursuing a Ph.D. in Human Bioenergetics typically have a strong background in biology, physiology, and related sciences. They may also have experience in areas such as exercise science, sports medicine, or kinesiology.
During their program of study, students will typically take advanced coursework in topics such as energy metabolism, cellular physiology, and research methods. They will also conduct independent research under the supervision of a faculty advisor, which may involve conducting experiments in a laboratory setting, analyzing data, and writing scholarly articles for publication in scientific journals.
Graduates of a Ph.D. program in Human Bioenergetics may go on to pursue careers in academic research, clinical research, or biotechnology, among others. They may also work in the fields of sports performance, nutrition, or exercise science, helping athletes and individuals optimize their energy systems for improved performance and health.

Q.1 - What is the procedure for Ph.D. Admission to the University?
ANSWER: - The Ph.D. and M.Phil. programs of prestigious Universities are conducted and guided strictly as per the provisions and regulations dictated by the UGC (Minimum Standards and Procedure for Award of Ph.D./M.Phil. Degrees) (1st Amendment) Regulations, 2018 and subsequent amendments. The entire procedure for admission to the research programs encompasses a Research Entrance Exam (RET) and then an Interview/Viva Voce. The performance of a candidate in the RET is given 70% weightage, and the remaining 30% weightage is given to his/her performance at the Interview.
Q.2 - What are the modes of pursuing M.Phil. & Ph.D. programs at the University?
ANSWER: -Both the full-time and part-time modes are available at University for pursuing its Ph.D. programs and only the full-time mode is available for M.Phil. program in the desired subjects/fields. These highly-qualitative and prolific research programs are available in a rather broad range of fields/subjects. At University, the minimum time duration of the M.Phil. and Ph.D. programs is 1.5 Years and 3 Years, respectively, in general.
Q.3 - Are the Ph.D. and M.Phil. Degrees granted by any University valid abroad?
ANSWER: -Yes, of course. If the University is properly recognized under section 2(f) of the UGC Act of 1956 and is a prestigious member of the AIU (the Association of Indian Universities). It is an M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees granted in various fields/subjects are duly valid across India and the world.
Q.4 - What are the main eligibility criteria for participating in the University Research Entrance Exam (RET)?
ANSWER: -The following are the main eligibility conditions for participating in the RET: - A rigorous Master’s Degree in the proposed subject/field obtained from any recognized university/institution located in India or abroad, with a minimum 55% marks in aggregate or an equivalent grade. Candidates belonging to SC/ST/OBC/Differently-abled categories are given a 5% relaxation in respect of this eligibility criterion. Candidates with an M.Phil. degree in the proposed field/subject, or have qualified for the UGC (JRF) Examinations/ NET/ SET/ SELT, etc., will be allowed to appear directly for the interview, without appearing in the RET. Impressive academic records, and any prior experience in research work, will be given additional advantages.
Q.5 - What relaxations are granted to the reserved categories for Ph.D. Admission to the University?
ANSWER: - Candidates belonging to the categories of SC/ST/OBC (Non-Creamy layer)/Differently-Abled, and so on, are given all relaxations prescribed by the Govt. of India and the UGC.
