Dear all Ph.D. aspirants,
I am afraid if such Ph.D. from distance education mode is valid anymore. Please refer to the new guidelines of the UGC about M.Phil and Ph.D.
UGC toughens Ph.D. Guidelines New Delhi, Aug. 11, 2009: (PTI)
Getting a Ph.D. degree will soon get tougher with the University Grants Commission (UGC) bringing in stiff regulations, which bans the offer of such degrees in the distant mode and stipulates that the thesis paper be evaluated by two experts, including one from outside the state.
According to the UGC (Minimum Standards and Procedure for Awards of M.Phil/Ph.D Degree) Regulation 2009, no university, institution, or deemed university shall conduct M.Phil. or Ph.D. programs through a distant education mode.
To ensure quality, the regulation states that students will be admitted through an entrance test followed by an interview. The doctoral candidates will discuss their research area.
After admission, the students will have to undergo coursework for a minimum period of one semester. The coursework is a sort of preparatory course that will touch upon research methodology.
The university or institution will decide the minimum qualifying requirements for allowing a student to the next stage of writing the thesis. The student's thesis will be evaluated by two experts, including one from outside the state. The institution shall decide if it wants to have one examiner from outside the country, the regulation said. It is expected to bring uniformity in the conduct of Ph.D. programs in the universities which are following varied models.
Entrance test for M.Phil, Ph.D. Deendayal Vaidya Wednesday, June 17th, 2009, AT 11:06 AM Tags: Pune, University, UGC, entrance test, M.Phil, Ph.D., NET, SLET
PUNE: The University Grants Commission (UGC), in its latest regulation, has made an entrance test mandatory for admission for MPhil and PhD programs. As UGC has linked this criterion to exemption from NET, all senior college teachers at the University of Pune (UoP) could end up facing the NET exam to retain their jobs.
UGC issued Minimum Standards and Procedure for Award of MPhil/PhD Degree Regulation 2009 and Minimum Qualification Required for Appointment of Teachers in Universities and Affiliated Colleges, Regulation 2009 on June 1.
According to the regulations for the award of MPhil and PhD degrees, varsities have to lay down criteria for faculty to be recognized as research supervisors for both programs. Universities also have to decide in advance the number of seats for both.
Most importantly, the varsities have to admit MPhil or PhD students through an entrance test conducted at the varsity level. The varsity may decide the terms and conditions for the PhD entrance test with respect to students who qualify UGC/CSIR Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) exam, GATE/teacher fellowship holder, or who have passed MPhil.
Quite naturally, UGC has linked the above regulations to the appointment of teachers. The National Eligibility Test (NET) is the minimum criterion for appointment as a teacher at the postgraduate section, while the State Level Eligibility Test (SLET) is a must for a teacher for the undergraduate section. Exemption to PhD and MPhil degree holders from NET and SLET respectively has been a perplexing issue before the UGC. Now, UGC has exempted Ph.D. holders complying with the latest regulations from NET/SLET exams.
But UoP has never admitted students for MPhil and PhD degrees through an entrance test. If UGC's new regulations are followed in the strict sense, none of the teachers (PhD holder) would be eligible for exemption. In simple words, they might have to pass NET/SLET to retain their jobs.
STANDARDS
- No MPhil/PhD through distance education mode
- Admit MPhil/PhD students through an entrance test
- Varsities free to decide terms and conditions for these tests
- The entrance test should be followed by an interview
- Only Ph.D. holders complying with these norms are eligible for exemption from NET
PhD entrance exams in Nov Move is in accordance with revised UGC norms to curb malpractices in doctorate, MPhil programs
By Arundhati Ranade Posted On Sunday, October 18, 2009, at 04:22:51 AM
The academic council of the University of Pune has finally decided on the policy regarding the entrance test for the doctorate program. According to the revised norms of the University Grants Commission (UGC), regarding PhD, the UoP is planning to conduct an entrance exam for the MPhil and PhD courses registration.
The first-ever PhD entrance test of the University of Pune will be conducted in the third or last week of November. The decision regarding this was taken in a recently concluded academic council meeting of UoP.
The officiating Vice-Chancellor Dr. Arun Adsool, while speaking to the Pune Mirror, informed, "During the academic council meeting of the UoP on October 15, the topic of the PhD entrance test was discussed. The proposal about the nature of the test was also proposed before the council members. The entrance exam date is not yet fixed, but it will be declared soon after finalization."
As per sources, UoP is planning to conduct the entrance test in the last week of November. The test will have two papers. One will be a general paper which will check the aptitude of the candidate to carry out research work.
The second paper will be subject-specific covering knowledge of the candidate in a topic in which he/she has done his/her post-graduation.
At present, there is no entrance examination for those wanting a doctorate degree. The Bhalchandra Mungekar Committee formed by UGC submitted its report early this year. The report found that students with the poorest performance can get enrolled and acquire a doctorate degree in three to five years.
The UGC in June formulated new norms to curb the malpractices in awarding PhD and MPhil degrees.
The University of Pune receives around 150 registrations each for MPhil and PhD every year. The new entrance test will keep a check on the number and also on the quality of the thesis. There are regulations of UGC regarding the guide too.
It has restricted the number of students working under a guide.
No decision yet on MPhil Entrance As per the UGC norms, entrance is compulsory for MPhil registration too, about which UoP has not decided yet unanimously.
The decision is pending, as the entrance for MPhil is a subject matter of the subject-specific department till now. "We have called a meeting of deans of all faculties on October 28. Further decisions about MPhil courses will be taken in the same meeting," Dr. Adsool informed.
UGC guidelines on PhD to be implemented later TNN 1 September 2009, 09:30 pm IST | ALLAHABAD: The new guidelines of the University Grants Commission (UGC) to curb growing complaints against substandard doctoral degrees and research programs are likely to take more time before being implemented in the universities.
The delay in implementing the new guidelines comes in the wake of a recent letter of UGC, wherein it has allowed the universities to self-evaluate the quality of PhD degrees, albeit as an ad-hoc measure.
The UGC notified minimum qualifications for a PhD degree in institutions recently in a bid to tackle growing complaints against substandard doctoral degrees and research. It had observed that several institutions were allegedly running PhD programs through distance education, allowing students to pick their research guides. The commission had said that it would evaluate the quality of doctoral programs in various universities and prepare a list of institutions awarding PhD degrees which meet the new standards.
Now, the latest order of UGC, (F.No. 1-1/2002 (PS) Pt file-III) signed by joint secretary KC Pathak mentions that since UGC is at present unable to identify candidates of various institutions, who have been awarded PhD degrees in compliance with the newly set standards, it is allowing individual universities to evaluate on their own the quality of PhD degrees of aspiring teachers.
In the new order sent to vice-chancellors, the UGC has informed the universities that the process of implementing the new guidelines is likely to take time. Hence, keeping in view the interest of candidates aspiring for various vacant positions of assistant professors in various institutions, the UGC has decided, as an ad-hoc measure, to leave it to the institutions concerned to decide as to whether the degree of PhD awarded to various candidates is in compliance with the provisions of UGC regulation, 2009.
PhD accessible to even graduates: Mumbai University The Mumbai University's apex body, the Management Council (MC), has decided to make graduates eligible for pursuing PhDs from this academic year 2005-06. The only criterion for these candidates is that they would have to clear an aptitude test conducted by the university department or research center from where they want to pursue the PhD. According to the Ph.D. guidelines, framed by former university chancellor and governor Mohammed Fazal, last year, only a post-graduate with a minimum of 60% marks could opt for research and the graduates were not eligible to pursue it at all.
This had angered the academic community and students who argued that academic performance could not be a benchmark for identifying good researchers. Following the resentment, the MC has now also decided to relax the eligibility criterion for postgraduates. Now, postgraduates with 55% can also be eligible for research. Many graduates want to pursue a PhD. If we do not bring about changes, they would be attracted to other universities for research, said MC member, Amarjit Singh Manhas.
The new PhD guidelines have been implemented only by Mumbai University where it was applicable to all Maharashtra Universities. Though Dr. Vijay Khole, vice-chancellor, had to exercise his special

Distance Learning Dilutes Education and Learning
There is a crazy rush to get degrees everywhere. Everybody wants to add degrees after degrees. Masters and now Doctorate are also available through distance learning. One needs to introspect and satisfy oneself as to whether he/she acquired real knowledge or only added one more degree to his/her name. Moreover, what is the use of adding such degrees? No wise employer is going to give any recognition or weightage to such degrees.
Thanks to Mr. Prabhakar Tripathi for sharing very good and important news and UGC Directive on the subject.
As the quality of education, faculty, and evaluation even in the case of many full-time programs is suspect and deplorable, it is further diluted in distance learning. Everybody should strive to get quality education and not merely a degree. One should check and recheck the credentials of the institute/university and program before enrolling.
Thanks & Regards
