NEW DELHI: After proposing amendments to the existing guidelines for PhD programmes in March, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has now made extensive changes in regulations on PhD admissions.

Latest:  DU Admission Process

As per the revised PhD eligibility criteria, candidates with a four-year undergraduate degree with a minimum 75% marks or its equivalent grade will be eligible for a PhD.

Such candidates can register after completing a one-year master’s programme after a four-year bachelor’s programme. Students who have completed a conventional three-year bachelor’s degree must complete a two-year master’s degree programme with at least 55% marks or its equivalent grade to be eligible.

Currently, several universities ask for MPhil dissertation for admission to PhD programmes, however, the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) does not endorse the degree. By scrapping MPhil, a preparatory degree for PhD programmes, in the new regulations UGC has aligned the admission requirements with the NEP 2020.

One of the primary changes is the scrapping of 2016 regulations that made publishing a research paper in a peer-reviewed publication a requirement for a PhD. A section of students has called the step one that could “hamper academic rigour” as well as impedes inclusivity in higher education. Despite the relaxation, the All India OBC Students Association (AIOBCSA) has urged the backward class PhD aspirants to work on producing quality research papers .

The UGC has asked higher educational institutes to initiate steps to implement new PhD regulation on Monday.

What are the changes in the PhD admission process?

The UGC has dropped the plan to reserve 60 percent of the total seats for applicants who have qualified the National Eligibility Test (UGC-NET) or Junior Research Fellowship (JRF). Universities and colleges will admit students through the NET or JRF entrance route as well as institute-level entrance exams.

The institute-level entrance test, however, must assign 70% weightage to the entrance test scores and 30% to the performance in the interview or viva-voce. “The entrance test syllabus shall consist of 50% of research methodology, and 50% shall be subject specific,” the new guidelines state.

In the entire duration of the PhD programme, female candidates will be eligible for a maternity leave or child care leave for up to 240 days.

Can MPhil students apply for PhD?

Even though MPhil has been scrapped in the new regulations, the UGC has made provisions for PhD admissions for those who already have an Mphil degree. Candidates who have completed M.Phil. programmes with at least 55% marks in aggregate or its equivalent grade in a foreign educational institute will be eligible for admission to PhD programme in India.

A relaxation of 5% marks has been provided to students who belong to historically marginalised Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and Other Backward Castes communities. The same relaxation has also been given to differently-abled, and Economically Weaker Section (EWS) students as well.

How will research supervisors be allocated in PhD?

Like before, eligible professors, associate professors and assistant professors can continue to guide up to eight, six, and four PhD candidates respectively at any given time.

In case of interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary research work, if required, UGC rules allow engaging a co-supervisor from outside the department, college or university.

Teachers with less than three years of service before superannuation will not be allowed to take new research scholars under their supervision. However, they can continue to supervise PhD scholars as co-supervisors before attaining the age of 70.

Earlier, teachers were allowed to take up MPhil students along with PhD scholars. After the new rules come into force, this will be discontinued. The new rules also allow supervisors to guide up to two international research scholars on a supernumerary basis “over and above the permitted number of PhD scholars”.

What are the new PhD academic requirements?

A PhD scholar will have to earn a minimum of 12 credits which should include a course in “research

and publication ethics”. As per the latest UGC regulations, a PhD candidate will have to appear before a research advisory committee to make a presentation and submit a brief report on the progress for evaluation every semester. In case the progress is unsatisfactory, the committee will “record the reasons” and suggest corrective measures.

All scholars will mandatorily have to undergo training in teaching, education, pedagogy or writing related to their chosen PhD subject. For this, four to six weeks will be assigned to earn credits.

To retain research integrity, the UGC regulations also direct institutions to use “ well-developed software” applications to detect plagiarism in research work. In 2018, the ministry of education had notified stringent measures to counter the long-standing issue of plagiarism in PhD thesis.

What are the part-time PhD UGC guidelines?

The eligibility conditions are the same for both full-time and part-time candidates. Like the former, the part-time candidates will also be assessed every semester.

In addition, the PhD candidates will also have to produce a no-objection certificate or NOC from their employer to be eligible. The NOC must specify that they will be given sufficient time for research work and they will be allowed to take time off to complete the course work.

In case you are wondering, this rule applies only to PhD scholars who have completed their PhD degree from government funded universities or colleges and wish to apply for fellowship under the UGC scheme.

For Undergraduate courses, a student can pursue two degrees simultaneously. A student who has already acquired an undergraduate degree in any subject area and wishes to pursue another one must first obtain approval from the respective varsity. The admission process for this purpose will be considered as per existing rules and regulations. However, if the applicant does not have any such previous qualification/training and is seeking admission into another course with a different subject but having equal weightage (weightage = total marks), then he/she should apply through proper channels only after clearing all requirements like qualifying test etc..

The UGC Guidelines 2024 is going to help students by providing a diverse range of options for aspiring scholars to pursue higher education. The new guidelines are expected to have a huge impact on the aspiring candidates as it will provide golden opportunities for those who want to pursue PhDs without having to worry about completing their bachelor’s degrees in the first instance. So , read each detail carefully with utmost attention in order to pursue your Phd dream to soar high in the sky.

The UGC guidelines are the university’s guidelines on how to run a university. These guidelines are meant to ensure that universities run efficiently, and they also set out the expectations of teachers and students alike. The UGC also offers guidance when it comes to academic freedom, teaching content and values, research objectives and methodology, curriculum development, student assessment methods, and other areas related to higher education.

You can check your university’s UGC website to see whether it has followed the guidelines correctly or not. If you feel that there has been a mistake in any area mentioned above or if you want more information about how your university uses its resources for its students then you should contact them directly as soon as possible so that they can help resolve any issues which may arise from their use of these guidelines.

No, you cannot. The UGC guidelines are meant to be a resource for PhD scholars, so you must use images that are readily available and free of copyright. You may not use copyrighted images without permission from the copyright holder.

Before how many years of retirement can I be ph.d supervisor?

There is no specific number of years before retirement that would prevent someone from being a PhD supervisor. As long as an individual meets the qualifications and criteria set by their institution or academic department, they may continue to serve as a PhD supervisor until they retire. However, retirement policies and regulations vary between institutions and countries, so it is best to check with your institution to determine any specific requirements or limitations on PhD supervision.

Hello! If you completed your coursework for a Ph.D. program in 2020 but were unable to continue, whether you need to redo your coursework or not will depend on several factors.

University Policy: Some institutions may accept your previous coursework and allow you to continue where you left off, while others may require you to retake the coursework or demonstrate proficiency in the subject matter through an examination. Time Limit: Some universities have a time limit for completing coursework, after which you may be required to retake the courses. Course Equivalence: If you are applying to a different university, they might assess the equivalency of your previous coursework with their own program. They may require you to submit syllabi, course descriptions, or other supporting documents to determine if your previous coursework meets their requirements. To get accurate information, I recommend reaching out to the admissions office or the graduate program coordinator of the university where you intend to pursue your Ph.D.

They will provide you with the specific requirements and guidelines for transferring or using your previous coursework.

Keep in mind that there might be additional requirements for admission to a Ph.D. program, such as standardized tests letters of recommendation, research proposals, and interviews. Make sure to inquire about those as well.

Hello…I have done regular B.Sc Hons(3 years) and then online Masters(distance Education)…am I eligible for PhD?

Whether you are eligible for a Ph.D. program depends on the specific requirements of the institution and program you are interested in. In many cases, a regular B.Sc. (Hons) degree followed by an online master’s degree obtained through distance education can be considered for Ph.D. admission. However, it is crucial to consider the recognition and accreditation of the institution that awarded your degrees. The accreditation of the university or institution adds credibility to your qualifications. Additionally, your academic performance during both your undergraduate and master’s degrees will be evaluated. Most Ph.D. programs have minimum score requirements or equivalent academic performance criteria. To determine your eligibility, it is essential to review the specific requirements of the Ph.D. program you wish to apply to.

I done my bsc computer science ,later i done mca . Then i started my carrier in ngo as social work.now i want to do phd in social work. Can i do as per my experience?

Absolutely, your background in computer science, followed by an MCA, and your experience in social work within an NGO can provide a unique perspective for pursuing a Ph.D. in social work. While your academic journey might seem different from a traditional path, your real-world experience and interdisciplinary approach can be valuable assets in the field of social work research.

Many universities value diverse experiences and backgrounds in their Ph.D. candidates. When applying, make sure to highlight how your previous education and work in the NGO have prepared you for research in social work, and how your technical skills could potentially contribute to innovative approaches in the field.

Keep in mind that admission requirements can vary among institutions, so research thoroughly and communicate with potential advisors or departments to discuss your qualifications and aspirations. Your experience could indeed make you a strong candidate for a Ph.D. program in social work.

when a contract or honorary professor is eligible to guide a Ph.D scholar up to 70 years even after his/her retirement why not an Adjunct Faculty/Professor?

The eligibility criteria for guiding Ph.D. scholars can vary depending on institutional policies and academic standards. While some institutions allow retired contract or honorary professors to continue guiding due to their extensive experience and contributions, others might have different policies for adjunct faculty members. It’s important to note that the decision to allow individuals to guide Ph.D. scholars after retirement or as adjunct faculty can be influenced by factors such as their active involvement in research, the relevance of their expertise, and the institution’s guidelines.

• Institutions deemed to be universities under Section 3 of the UGC Act 1956

Learn more about these guidelines in this blog post and prepare for the future.

UGC Guidelines for Pursuing PhD Programs

Pursuing a PhD under  UGC  guidelines involves meeting specific eligibility criteria, sticking to standard admission processes, and fulfilling coursework and research requirements. The aim is to improve academics while providing students with the necessary resources and support.

Criteria for Grouping NET Scoresx

• Award for JRF & Assistant Professor Appointment This is the first category. If you meet the specified requirements, consider yourself for a PhD program. Also, gain eligibility for a Junior Research Fellowship and an Assistant Professor position.
• Promotion to Assistant Professor and PhD Admission Although the Junior Research Fellowship is unavailable in this second category, students can still pursue a PhD and be appointed Assistant Professor.
• PhD Admission Only This third category allows for PhD admission alone. Students are not eligible for an Assistant Professor position or a Junior Research Fellowship.

Additional Notes:

• For PhD admissions, 30% of the evaluation is based on the interview and 70% on the NET (National Eligibility Test) score.

Permanent Faculty Members Can Guide PhD Scholars During Probation Period: UGC

Curated By : Education and Careers Desk

Trending Desk

Last Updated: March 09, 2023, 18:01 IST

New Delhi, India

UGC received several queries from stakeholders in regard to the terms of eligibility criteria for guiding PhD Scholars (Representative Image)

The commission has further requested all the universities to follow the CAS provision of promotion and also comply with its decision

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has issued a clarification over the eligibility criteria for promotions under Career Advancement Scheme (CAS). The clarification comes after the UGC received several queries from stakeholders in regard to the terms of eligibility criteria for guiding PhD Scholars.

“Eligible permanent faculty members can guide Ph.D. scholars during their probation period also,” the commission said in a notice. UGC discussed the matter in its 565th meeting that was held on January 20. The commission has further requested all the universities to follow the CAS provision of promotion and also comply with its decision.

Earlier in January, UGC had released a clarification on the eligibility criteria for CAS promotions of university teachers from academic level 12 to academic level 13A and level 13A to academic level 14. The commission made the clarifications concerning the terms “Evidence of having guided at least one PhD candidate” and “evidence of successfully guided doctoral candidate”. In a meeting in November last year, the commission also resolved queries regarding the eligibility of promotions of university teachers.

What is CAS?

Career Advancement Scheme as the name suggests means career advancement procedure that has been adopted by the universities as per UGC regulations. This scheme will apply for advancement of careers of teachers at the university. It is an essential factor of a structure wherein an individual faculty member can move to a higher post and/or pay in the absence of a clear vacancy.

To apply for CAS, a candidate must hold a PhD degree in the subject concerned/allied/relevant discipline. Should have completed a minimum of ten research publications in the UGC-listed journals out of which three research papers ought to have been published during the assessment period. They should also have evidence of successfully guiding doctoral candidates.

Meanwhile, earlier this week, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan launched a Self-Assessment Test and Help for Entrance Exams platform called SATHEE. This self-paced assessment platform has been created by the University Grants Commission (UGC), the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur and the Ministry of Education (MoE).

The SATHEE platform was developed for students to prepare for all kinds of competitive exams such as the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), and others that take place in the country.
