Dear friends,
Exciting news!
Even a graduate can pursue Ph.D. now !
Yes. A graduate may now be able to pursue a Doctor of Philosophy from
Mumbai University. The University apex body, the Management Council, has
decided to make graduates eligible for pursuing PhDs from this academic
year. However the candidates will have to clear an Aptitude Test conducted
by the University Department or Research Centre from where they want to
pursue the Ph.D.
Earlier graduates were not eligible for the course. Only a post graduate
with minimum 60% marks could opt for research. Managing Council has now
also decided to relax the eligibility criterion for post graduates. Now a
post-graduate with 55% will also be eligible for research.
Only Mumbai University has implemented the new PhD guidelines and it was
done by vice-chancellor Dr. Vijay Khole.
Thanks to the University Authorities for this remarkable decision.
Regards,
Anand.
