Please don't mind if you area honest person then its a problem. But otherwise the guide/supervisor,department clerk, Head of the department, Registrar will manage every aspect if you satisfy their under table demand. May be my comments is shocking but its a reality. So don't be disillusioned, in time you will see every possible remedy for this problem. Because if it is implemented fully the rate of PhD will drastically come down from the present rate(6500 annually) which will virtually shut down the PhD shop of many Universities, So the rules will be amended within a year or two and the tamasha will continue for ever. I've experienced it while pursuing my PhD in 1992 under the ordinance 12 of M.P.University PhD Regulation. Under the act through the year only 15 candidates registered for PhD in my university and there was a lot of hullabalu about it . Within a year (1995) the act was scrapped and the old one came into force for saving the Professor community (seldom boost about awarding 40/50/ or even 100 PhD awards but never say anything about their quality ) vis versa the universities of higher learning.
I'm not discouraging you showing you the mirror of higher education of our country. Ask for other's to comment
Best Regards
Dr Kaushik Bose
Thanks a lot for your visionary and practical answer. I am very grateful to you that you have got involved in my worry and tried to bring me out. As you said, I am an honest person and do not want to go out of the rules, but Sir this scenario should be changed, if the rules are made to not be implemented, then why these all practice should be done. It is the wastage of time & energy. Amendment should always be practical.
Well! Thanks for your kind involvement.
Dear Mr. Tiwari,
it is the essential step taken by UGC for improvement in the quality of research. it is not at all harm for a daily employee, however it is good for them to be get aware towards the theoretical aspects of research in a broad spectrum so that PHD can be complete with in the stipulated time.
The one alternative for this, to do M Phil.from a regular university so that the exemption of the course work can be achieved and in addition one can received an additional degree i.e. M. Phil.
Thanks for appreciation.
Dear Madam,
Thanks for your kind reply. It helps me out up to great extent.
Dont worry,
in most of the universities 6 month means the duration between starting day of course work & last day of course work exam. the working professional have to attend class for 1 month or so and then they are given assignments, projects etc and at the end of 6th noth exam is being held.
very few universities conduct continue 6month class for ph d scholar as it is a extra burden on the teachers.
for working professionals 1 month leave is enough. You can also attend the classes by availing extraordinary leave. as it will add to ur career.
regarding under the table theory of Dr. Bose, if u follow it, it is available everywhere. still, this is not the accepted by all.
Dear Sir,
Thanks for your kind reply. It helps me out up to great extent.
