Compliance of UGC Guidelines for Doctoral Degree
Respected Professional Members
Myself Tapesh, young LIS professional looking to enroll for Doctoral (Ph.D.) degree, I was going through various universities advertisement regarding Ph.D. admission including private Universities. I have some concerns/issues before I take admission especially with regards to private Universities. In this regard I want clarifications
1. Are Private Universities need to follow UGC guidelines to award Ph.D., Because I had come across several private universities taking admissions without the existence of PG department in Library and Information Science
2. Are Universities are bound to follow Plagiarism Guidelines as per UGC notification 2018, I see a lot of variations from university to university
3. Regarding Publishing papers during doctoral research is mandatory, UGC list of Journals (recently UGC has removed a list of journals) or SCI indexed journals
4. If Universities fails to comply as per UGC guidelines, is there any possibility of retracting degree
I kindly request my senior professionals to guide me, so that I can pursue my PhD
Thanks in Advance

Dear Professional,
Do not prefer enrolling for Ph,.D to Private Universities
in India 49 Central Unversities
399 State Universities is there
This is my suggestion
