About Ph.D Programmes and Research Publications |
The University has implemented the rules and regulations as prescribed by the UGC guidelines dated 2009, since 2010. Earlier the University had not predetermined the manageable number of available doctoral students depending on the number of available eligible faculty supervisors. This had resulted into large number of applications from students as well from the research guides.
It was essential for the University to critically review the present Ph.D programme to maintain high quality of research. As per the directives of the Hon'ble Vice-chancellor on the recommendations of the Academic Council the University has followed the criteria for the selection as mentioned below:
 |
The numbers of new enrolments were limited to the vacancy in the respective faculty. |
|
Preference will be given to Full-time Ph.D. students and faculty members, as a part of Faculty Development Programme and Career Advancement. |
|

The University has developed necessary formats and processes for this purpose. |
|
