Alumni Feedback
The programme offers a strong theoretical foundation in the first semester, but in the later semesters its application-focused approach provides hands-on experience in solving real-world problems. The collaborative international environment gave me new perspectives, and the small cohort size helped us connect to each other. I also have to mention the outstanding dedication of the professors, their experience and technical skills are not just academic and show a real understanding of the fields they teach and work in. I am fully satisfied with the IPCVai programme equipping me with the skills and mindset needed for pursuing my PhD degree.
