Is it Compulsory to Take Full Six Months Leave for Ph.D. Course Work?

Dear professionals!

Is it compulsory for a contractual/temporary government employee to take six months continuous leave for Ph.D. course work?

Can anyone take leaves in between rather than full six months leave to attend classes?

Is there any UGC guidelines regarding full six months leave for temporary government employee, who take leave without pay.

Ph.D. from Punjabi University Patiala. considering three days leaves in every week without pay to attend classes.

Please reply at your earliest

No, all this depends on the university in which you are going to enroll. The university may assign two full days in a week for course work classes or it may assign half days (for ex.- 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm) in all the 5 days. So it all depends on the respective university. Also it depends on the organization you are working in whether they allow you half days or leave for 2 days in a week for this purpose. Good Luck!

TISS, Mumbai allows attending week long workshops (once in six months) instead of course work. But they have not invited applications for a very long time.
