UGC extends deadline for PhD/MPhil thesis submission for the fifth time. Here's what's different

In some relief for PhD students whose research has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has now approved an extension of six months beyond June 30, 2022, for the submission of their MPhil or PhD thesis. 

The UGC has been granting these extensions for students to submit their thesis ever since the pandemic first broke in 2020. The first extension of six months was given in June 2020 and has been further extended ever since. The last extension was in December 2021, making this latest announcement the fifth such extension since June 2020.

The extension this time will be awarded to students after a review of their work by the respective educational institutions on a "case-to-case" basis, said UGC Chairman M Jagadesh Kumar in a statement on Twitter. The UGC, in its notice, said that the students' work will be reviewed by the Research Advisory Committee and the extension would be granted on the recommendation of the supervisor and the Head of the Department to which the student belongs.

The extension has been demanded by student representatives vehemently. In April this year, a delegation of the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) visited the UGC office to discuss a host of issues, among which the extension of the deadline for submission of the thesis was one. The UGC had said then that they were not against the extension but that the matter was under discussion. 

The All India Other Backward Classes Students Association (AIOBCSA) had written a letter to the UGC Chairman on April 14, 2022, requesting an extension of one year in order to "help students produce quality research work that will have a direct impact on the university's academic excellence". They had said that students were under extreme pressure to complete their work due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and that the subsequent lockdowns had affected their lab and fieldwork.

While the AIOBCSA welcomed the six-month extension, they criticised the lack of universality in its application. "A case-to-case basis clause is a problematic approach because it leaves the possibility of the extension on the guide and the Head of the Department. There is a chance that some of them might reject genuine cases also. Universal application of the extension might have helped all research scholars who are in need," said National President for AIOBCSA, Kiran Kumar.

ABVP welcomes UGC decision of allowing further extension of up to 6 months for thesis submission of M.Phil./PhD scholars because of lost time during COVID period. Researchers who require more time to complete their research with desired results will get relief from this decision. — ABVP (@ABVPVoice) May 9, 2022

The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) also hailed the decision to extend the deadline for PhD/MPhil submissions. Taking to Twitter, the RSS-affiliated organisation said, "ABVP welcomes the UGC's decision of allowing further extension of up to 6 months for thesis submission of MPhil/PhD scholars because of lost time during COVID period. Researchers who require more time to complete their research with desired results will get relief from this decision."

UGC grants 6 months extension again to MPhil, PhD students for thesis submission

The fresh extension will now allow thousands of mphil and phd candidates to submit their thesis by end of december 2021, ugc said however, the tenure of fellowship will remain up to five years only.

New Delhi: Amid a second wave of Covid-19 in India, the union government has now granted a six-month extension to M.Phil and Ph.D students for submission of thesis and research work. This is the third extension given by the education regulator since the country declared a pandemic induced lockdown in March 2020.

The fresh extension will now allow thousands of MPhil and PhD candidates to submit their thesis by end of December 2021, the university grants commission ( UGC ) has informed universities

“Keeping in view the larger interest of the research scholars, a further extension of six months beyond 30.06.2021 i.e till 31st December 2021, for submission of thesis by M.Phil/Ph.D students may be granted by the Universities," UGC said.

“Extension of six months, as mentioned above, may also be granted for submitting evidence of publication and presentation in two conferences," according to Rajnish Jain, secretary of higher education regulator UGC.

However, the tenure of fellowship will remain up to five years only. It means, all those PhD candidates whose five year of doctoral education were getting over by June 2020 will not get fellowships for the extended time period.

In April 2020, the UGC had issued guidelines on examination and academic calendar for the universities in view of the coronavirus pandemic and related lockdown. As per the initial guidelines the extension of six months was granted till 31 Dec and which was then extended to 30 June and with the fresh directive it now gets extended further to 31 Dec 2021.

The fresh order comes as India is witnessing a surge in Covid-19 positive cases marring the perspective of reopening colleges and universities. Institutions in some states have again closed down amid the surge. And there are local restrictions in parts of India to deal with the increasing numbers.

Educational institutions went into a lockdown in mid-March last year and most of them have not opened up yet. As they were planning to open up ahead of the new academic session, the second wave of the pandemic has made this uncertain. For last several months, the union government has entrusted the institutions and states to take a call on reopening depending upon the local situation but has mandated them to follow covid-19 safety protocols when the start open up.
