Thesis Examination

Ph D Thesis

The thesis (guidelines for the thesis format given in the respective Section) submitted by the candidate for Ph.D. degree must comply with the following conditions:-

It must form a distinct contribution to knowledge and afford evidence of originality, shown either by the discovery of new facts or by the exercise of independent critical judgment.

It must not include research work for which degree has been conferred on anybody in this or any other University.

For candidates in Faculties of Behavioral and Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities (except Department of French or other modern languages where thesis be written in French language or respective language), Economics and Management Sciences, Commerce, Law, Engineering and Technology, Life Sciences, Sciences, Pharmacy, Medicine and Dentistry and Education the thesis must be written in English and the presentation must be satisfactory for publication. In Faculties of Islamic Studies & Oriental Learning, each Department shall decide about the Language (English/Urdu/any other) in which the dissertation is to be written. However in case of Urdu / any other language, an abstract in English shall be included.

A 1-3 (to be decided by the faculty) publication in HEC approved journals (see HEC website) is requisite for thesis submission.

Any part of the thesis that has been published before submission of the thesis must be appended at the end of the thesis.

The candidate shall submit through his supervisor five copies (6 copies in case of co-supervisor or supervisors) of his thesis typed or printed, along with 5/6 copies of a short abstract of about 1000 words and a CD of the thesis after qualifying Ph.D.

The candidate shall pay the prescribed fee for the examination at the time of submission of thesis.

The candidate shall at the time of thesis submission supply the documents as per university requirements.

Thesis Examiners

The DPC (with co-opted members) will recommend to the Advanced Studies and Research Board to approve a panel of External Examiners of six experts (foreign from technically advanced countries – for thesis evaluation and local – for viva voce exam) for evaluation of thesis before submission or at the time of submission of thesis.

The Vice-Chancellor shall appoint two External Examiners.

The Controller of Examinations shall get thesis evaluated within six months after the date of submission/resubmission of thesis to his office. Any delay beyond six months be brought to the notice of the Vice-Chancellor immediately.

No degree shall be awarded unless all Examiners recommend the award of the degree. While recommending the award of degree, the examiners shall also report whether or not the thesis is fit for publication both from the point of view of content and language.

If both External Examiners find that the thesis is wholly inadequate the candidate will be asked for additional research work of maximum of one year.

If one of the External Examiners approves the thesis and the other rejects, it shall be sent to a fresh (3rd) examiner, for evaluation. If this new (3rd) examiner disapproves the thesis, the candidate shall be declared to have failed. In case of approval of the thesis by the 3rd examiner, the case shall be processed further for the thesis defense.

If any of the examiners adjudges the thesis inadequate and suggests major modification/ revision of the thesis, the candidate will be required to re-submit a Revised Version of the thesis within one year. He will be required to pay fresh fee for the examination.

The same examiner who suggests modification of the thesis, but not recommended the award of Degree, shall evaluate the Revised Version of the thesis.

If Examiner suggests modification/ corrections and also recommends the award of Ph.D degree, the candidate will make changes within three months. The corrections/ modifications/ changes in the revised version will be verified by the supervisor and Dean of the Faculty.

If any of the examiners finds the thesis adequate but suggests minor modifications/ revision, this may be incorporated and certified by the thesis supervisor (Internal Examiner) and Dean of the relevant faculty.

If the thesis is adjudged as adequate by all the Examiners and accepted by the Advanced Studies and Research Board, the scholar shall be required to undergo a Viva-Voce Examination to be conducted by one External Examiner (local) and Supervisor/s.

One examiner for viva-voce examination should be appointed from within Pakistan from the approved panel.

Examiners may have separate viva-voce examination which will be followed by Public Defense.

The Viva Voce Examination shall be open to the public (public defense) but only the Examiners appointed for this purpose will do the evaluation.

If the scholar fails to satisfy the examiners in the viva-voce examination, they may require the scholar to defend the thesis for the second (and the final) time within a period of six months.

If the scholar passes the Viva Voce Examination, the Syndicate on the recommendation of the Advanced Studies and Research Board will approve the reports of the examiners for the thesis and oral examination and award of the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in the relevant subject to the candidate.

Grading System

Equivalence in numerical grades. Letter grades and grade points will be as follows:

Maximum possible Grade Point Average is 4.00.

Minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average for obtaining 2 year M.Phil (course work and comprehensive) is 2.50. In order to qualify in the examination of semester a student must obtain at least GPA 2.50 and in individual subject not less than 2.30.

If GPA/ CGPA of a student remains <2.50 (but >2.30) the student shall be given one chance (only once) to repeat two subjects (2-6 Credit Hours) in order to improve CGPA in M.Phil. If GPA /CGPA of a student remain <2.50 he/ she shall be dropped from studies.

Minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average for PhD (course work and comprehensive) is 3.00. (For detail see the respective Sections).

A fraction of mark in a course is to be counted as '1' mark e.g. 64.1 or 64.9 is to be shown as 65.

Letter Grade and Grade Point for a course will be calculated as given above.

For calculating GPA and CGPA refer to the formulae below.

Criteria for Awarding Postgraduate Degree

M.Phil (Master of Philosophy) in Pharmacy

Pharmaceutics

Pharmaceutical Chemistry

Pharmacology

Pharmacognosy

This is a mixed mode degree comprising one year course work, one year of supervised research followed by submission of research thesis.

Objectives of Postgraduate Programs  

Following are the major objectives:

To prepare Scientific/Educational manpower with depth of knowledge and research competence of international level to fill positions in Research Organizations, Industry, Management, Universities, Health Care and Educational Institutions.

To establish centers of research of high quality (both fundamental and applied) in the University.

To improve the qualification, skills, and expertise of teachers/officers and thus provide competent teachers/officers at all levels of Education in Universities, Colleges and Schools.
