Dear Friends, Please see the order below, Dear Sir/Madam, It has come to the notice of the UGC that some Universities are hiring the services of the Supervisors who do not happen to be the regular teachers of the Universities or its affiliated PG Colleges/Institutes awarding the M Phil/Ph.D. degree. This practice is in violation of UGC (Minimum standards and procedure for award of M.Phil/Ph.D. Degree) Regulations, 2009. The following clarification is, therefore, issued in this regard: "Universities shall allocate the supervisor from amongst the regular faculty members in a department or its affiliated PG Colleges/Institutes depending on the number of students per faculty member, the available specialization among the faculty supervisors and the research interest of the student. It is further clarified that any Ph.D./M.Phil degree awarded by a University under the supervision of a supervisor who is not a faculty member of the University or its affiliated PG Colleges/Institutes would be in violation of UGC (Minimum standards and procedure for award of M.Phil./Ph.D.) Regulations. 2009. This may also be brought to the notice of the Colleges/Research Institutions affiliated to your University. Any violation of the Regulation of the UGC will be viewed very seriously by the UGC. With kind regards, Yours sincerely, (Jaspal S. Sandhu) The Vice-Chancellor of all Universities Download original doc from here, https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6E3iEzJp74uc3Q2WTJKakNrZ1E/view?usp=sharin... Regards, -- Vimal Kumar V.
