Scopus & IEEE Indexed Conferences in India January 2027: Subject-Wise List with Links | Thesislikho

By Thesislikho Research Desk · Updated 12 November 2026 · Conference & Publication Guide

January is one of the best months for researchers in India to present their work. NITs, IITs and leading engineering colleges host international conferences whose proceedings are published in IEEE Xplore, Springer book series such as Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems (LNNS), and physics proceedings such as AIP and EPJ Web of Conferences. These publication routes are indexed in Scopus, which makes January conferences valuable for PhD scholars who need an indexed publication before their thesis submission, progress seminar or Research Advisory Committee review.

The good news: unlike December, several January 2027 conferences are still accepting papers in November 2026. In this guide we list 19 verified Scopus and IEEE indexed conferences in India for January 2027, arranged subject-wise with official links, dates, venues, publication details and current submission status. We have also added a list of February–April 2027 conferences that are open now, so you can plan your next submission with confidence.

January 2027 Conferences Still Open for Submission

If your manuscript is nearly ready, these January 2027 conferences showed open deadlines on their official websites when this article was updated. Some deadlines are only days away, so act quickly:

• IEEE International Conference on AI Engineering and Innovations (IEEE AIEI 2027 (Record #72387)) — 21–23 Jan 2027, Bengaluru (hybrid): Open – extended to 15 Nov
• International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Data Science (ICCIDS 2027) — 6–8 Jan 2027, SSN College of Engineering, Chennai: Open – extended to 18 Nov
• 5th International Conference on Intelligent Data Communication Technologies and IoT (IDCIoT 2027 (IEEE #71706)) — 21–23 Jan 2027, JCET, Ottapalam, Kerala: Open – until 20 Nov
• 9th International Conference on Communication & Computational Technologies (ICCCT 2027) — 30–31 Jan 2027, NFSU Goa Campus (hybrid): Open – until 21 Nov
• International Conference on Physics and Chemistry of Materials (ICPCM 2027) — 4–6 Jan 2027, IPS Academy, Indore: Open – abstracts until 10 Dec

Tip: when a conference shows "IEEE approval pending" or "Springer approval pending", publication in IEEE Xplore or Springer depends on that approval being granted. This is common and usually resolved before the event, but you should keep it in mind when planning a time-critical publication.

1. Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science & IoT Conferences – January 2027

Computer science and AI conferences dominate January. Popular tracks include generative AI, machine learning, data science, IoT, cloud and distributed computing, image processing, cybersecurity and intelligent communication systems. Several of these conferences are hosted by NITs and established engineering colleges with IEEE technical co-sponsorship.

2. Electrical, Electronics & Biomedical Engineering Conferences – January 2027

January 2027 includes the IEEE Gujarat Section flagship conference at SVNIT Surat and the first IEEE Conference on Medical Engineering and Science at IIT Guwahati — a strong option for researchers in biomedical signal and image processing.

3. Mechanical, Civil & Transportation Engineering Conferences – January 2027

Mechanical, civil and infrastructure researchers can target Springer proceedings in January 2027. Springer's LNNS and Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering series are Scopus indexed, although each volume is subject to Springer's quality checks.

4. Physics, Chemistry & Materials Science Conferences – January 2027

For physics, chemistry and materials science, January offers conferences whose earlier editions published through AIP Conference Proceedings, IOP and Springer, as well as EPJ Web of Conferences. Confirm the publisher for the 2027 edition on the official website.

5. Management, Commerce, Education & Social Sciences

We could not verify a January 2027 conference in India for management, commerce, education, humanities or life sciences with a confirmed Scopus-indexed proceedings series. Many events in these subjects advertise "publication in Scopus journals", but no conference organizer can guarantee acceptance in an independent journal. For these disciplines, submitting directly to a well-chosen Scopus indexed journal is usually the safer and more credible route. Our guide on Scopus journal publication timelines explains how long this takes and how to improve your chances.

Open Now: February–April 2027 Conferences in India

If January deadlines do not suit you, the following reputed conferences are accepting submissions now or will soon. Their official websites list the details below:

How to Submit Before a Tight Deadline

With some deadlines only days away, preparation is everything. Follow this checklist:

1. Choose the right conference: match your topic with the conference tracks, not just the date.
2. Use the official template: IEEE conference format for IEEE events; Springer LNNS/LNME format for Springer events. Respect the page limit (commonly 6 pages for IEEE, 10–12 for Springer).
3. Write a sharp abstract and title: reviewers decide quickly; state the problem, method and key result clearly.
4. Highlight your contribution: list two to four specific contributions at the end of the introduction.
5. Compare with recent work: include recent references and a comparison table with existing methods.
6. Check similarity: keep the similarity index low and avoid copying text from your thesis or earlier papers without citation.
7. Submit through the official portal: most use Microsoft CMT or EDAS. Never email papers to unofficial addresses.
8. Plan for registration: at least one author must register and present, or the paper may be excluded from IEEE Xplore or Springer.

When will the paper appear in Scopus?

After the conference, IEEE Xplore usually publishes papers within one to three months, and Springer proceedings within three to six months. Scopus indexing follows publication, so a January 2027 conference paper may appear in Scopus between roughly March and August 2027.

How to Avoid Fake or Predatory "Scopus Conferences"

Many websites list hundreds of "international conferences" every month, often the same event repeated in different cities, with vague promises of "Scopus journal publication". Protect your research and money by checking:

• Is the host a recognized institution (IIT, NIT, IIIT, university or established college)?
• Does the conference show an IEEE Conference Record/ID number? You can confirm it on the IEEE Conference Search.
• Does it name the exact proceedings series (e.g., Springer LNNS, AIP Conference Proceedings)? Check it on Scopus Sources.
• Are previous editions' proceedings actually available on IEEE Xplore, SpringerLink or AIP Publishing?
• Does it promise guaranteed acceptance, very fast review or extra "indexing fees"? These are red flags.
