Explainer: What are UGC’s new PhD eligibility criteria?

UGC has drawn up new rules for PhD admission, eligibility and programme to bring them in line with NEP 2020. Here’s what changes.

R. Radhika | November 15, 2022 | 03:17 PM IST

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 PG 2024 Application Form OUT - Apply Here

Suggested: Browse the list of colleges/universities accepting CUET Score

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.

Not mandatory to publish in journals before final PhD thesis: UGC

According to the latest available report of the all india survey on higher education (aishe), the enrolment at phd level rose from 1,26,451 to 2,02,550 (0.5 per cent of total enrolment in higher education) between 2015-16 and 2019-20..

In new regulations for doctoral programmes notified Monday, the University Grants Commission (UGC) scrapped the mandatory requirement of getting research papers published in peer-reviewed journals before the final submission of a PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) thesis.

So far, it was mandatory for MPhil (Master of Philosophy) scholars to present at least one research paper in a conference or seminar while PhD scholars had to publish at least one research paper in a refereed journal and make two paper presentations in conferences or seminars before the submission of their thesis for adjudication.

When contacted, Prof M Jagadesh Kumar, Chairperson, UGC, said by scrapping the mandatory publication requirement, the higher education regulator has recognised that the “one-size-fits-all” approach is not desirable. Elaborating on the need to shun a common approach towards assessing all disciplines, he pointed out that many doctoral scholars in computer science prefer presenting their papers at conferences rather than publishing in journals.

However, it does not mean PhD scholars should stop publication of research papers in peer-reviewed journals, he said. “Focussing on high-quality research will lead to publications in good journals, even if it is not mandatory. It will add value when they apply for employment or post-doctoral opportunities,” he told The Indian Express .

According to the latest available report of the All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE), the enrolment at PhD level increased from 1,26,451 to 2,02,550 (0.5 per cent of total enrolment in higher education) between 2015-16 and 2019-20.

In 2018, The Indian Express had published a series of investigative reports on how India has emerged as one of the biggest markets for sub-standard research journals with many doctoral candidates getting their papers published for a fee.

Following that, a four-member UGC committee chaired by P Balram, former Director of the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru, had recommended that publication of research material in “predatory” journals or presentations in conferences organised by their publishers should not be considered for academic credit in any form.

In draft regulations floated in March this year, the UGC had proposed universities be allowed to draw up their own guidelines in this area. It also sought public feedback on replacing the term mandatory with “desirable”, but that clause has now been removed altogether under the final UGC (Minimum Standards and Procedures for Award of PhD Degree) Regulations, 2022, notified on Monday.

The commission has also dropped its plan to make universities and colleges reserve at least 60 per cent of their annual intake of doctoral candidates for NET or JRF qualified students, according to the revised PhD regulations. In the draft regulations floated in March, the UGC had proposed that 60 per cent of the total vacant seats in an academic year in a higher education institution be drawn from NET/JRF qualified students.

The draft regulations had also envisaged a common entrance test for PhD admissions. This also does not find mention in the final version of the guidelines, which means that universities and colleges will remain free to admit students through NET/JRF as well as entrance exams without having to adhere to any cap for either of the two categories in line with the prevailing norms.

In cases where selection of candidates are through entrances conducted by the individual universities, a weightage of 70 per cent will be given to performance in the written test and 30 per cent to interview.

The final regulations, however, retain the provision of part-time PhDs that is primarily targeted at working professionals aspiring to obtain doctoral degrees. IITs already allow such programmes. “The Higher Educational Institution concerned shall obtain a No Objection Certificate through the candidate for a part-time PhD programme from the appropriate authority in the organisation where the candidate is employed…,” state the regulations.

Under the revised regulations, those joining PhD programmes after a four year UG programme can do so after a one-year master’s degree, while graduates of conventional three-year UG degrees need to have completed two year master’s degrees.

Candidates who have completed the M.Phil programmes with at least 55 per cent marks in aggregate also figure in the eligibility criteria. While the M.Phil programme will be phased out with the notification of the new rules, it will not have any bearing on M.Phil degree programmes which have already commenced.

To ensure quality of their output, earlier, research scholars had to appear before a Research Advisory Committee once in six months and present progress of their work for evaluation and further guidance. They will have to do so each semester now.

“I urge the universities to ensure that the PhD evaluation process is strengthened and research scholars are trained to publish in peer-reviewed journals, present at conferences, and apply for patents where feasible,” Prof Jagadesh Kumar said.

I am a working professional, want to pursue the PhD course in HR Management.

Register with a university and start your course.

Look out for advertisement by any University which is nearer to your place of work for the admission requirements. Normally, January and July is the months wherein the admission by most of the University hold admission test advertisement.

list of article published for phd

Publication of at least 2 papers before thesis submission as a first author is necessary or as contributing author is enough.

Just publication of papers matters regardless of first author or second author. But University also imposes its own rules and regulations.

Is it compulsory to publish paper for PhD degree .I think it’s depend on guide and Researcher they want publish or not

It is mandatory to have publications beforehand. However, there are a very few subjects that are exempted.

I AM RETIRED PERSON HAVING PASSED M A EXAM IN SECOND CLASS WITH 55% IN ECONOMICS. WANT TO PERSUE Ph D

You can do.

Is it mandatory to publish the papers in WOS/SCOPUS journals?

It is not mandatory to publish in WOS/ Scopus journals.

How many papers are required to be published before submiting PhdThesis..and which journals should we publish

According to UGC guidelines, One paper must be published in the referred journal (UGC CARE, or Scopus, or Web of Science).

What if our article is published in the journal which is in UGC list at the time of publication and later in the revised list it has been removed. Will that publication be counted for Thesis submission ?

What if our article is published in the UGC list at the time of publication and later in the revised list it has been removed. Will that be counted ?

Yes, you will get credit for that publication. https://phdtalks.org/2021/04/list-of-journals-removed-from-ugc.html

sir, My research paper has been published in valid Scopus indexed journal and is available on journal website, but it is (author name and surname) not found in Scopus author search. So University is not allowing to submit thesis.

UGC extends MPhil, PhD thesis submission deadline for another 6 months

This is the fourth extension granted to research scholars to help them make up for time lost owing to covid-19 pandemic, lockdowns.

University Grants Commission (UGC) has asked higher education institutions to extend the deadline for the research scholars to submit their MPhil and PhD thesis.

The varsities and colleges have been asked by the higher education regulator of the country to extend the deadline for up to six months beyond June 30, 2022. This has been done post considering the research and study time lost due to Covid-19, inform officials.

UGC Secretary PK Thakur in a missive sent to all varsities and also put up by UGC on its official website — https://www.ugc.ac.in/— has informed that extension of date for submission of thesis for terminal MPhil/PhD students in continuation of UGC Public Notice dated December 1, 2021, on this very subject, and keeping in view the larger interest of the research scholars, it has been decided by the UGC that an extension of up to six months, beyond June 30, 2022, maybe given to the students by their respective higher educational institutions, on case-to-case basis based on the review of student’s work by the research advisory committee and the recommendation of the supervisor and the head of the department of each case. Such extension may also be granted for submitting evidence of publication and presentation in two conferences. However, tenure of fellowship will remain up to five years only, the missive says.

“In principle, Allahabad University will be implementing the UGC directions regarding the extension of date of submission of PhD thesis. Since the approval of extension is to be on a case-to-case basis we are evolving the criteria and after permission of the competent authority, the notification regarding this will be issued soon,” said AU PRO Prof Jaya Kapoor.

The decision for this latest extension in this regard was taken by the UGC at a meeting held on May 6, 2022, while the notification was issued on May 17, 2022.

This extension however is the fourth one granted to research scholars to help them make up for the time lost owing to the pandemic and resulting lockdowns.

Earlier, UGC through its notification dated December 1, 2021, had granted an extension of six months beyond December 31, 2021, ie till June 30, 2022, and before that through a notification dated March 16, 2021, also it had granted a six months extension beyond June 30, 2021, ie till December 31, 2021. Through a notification dated December 3, 2020, UGC had granted its first extension to MPhil and PhD students, who were to submit their thesis by December 31, 2020, giving them time till June 30, 2021, for submission of their thesis owing to the pandemic and the lockdown.

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.

I have completed M.A. in psychology from IGNOU obtaining 62% marks in aggregate and I am preparing for MPHIL entrance in clinical psychology.

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.

Good luck with your Ph.D. Journey! If you’re stuck in between anything, we might be able to help you’ so feel free to reach out.

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.

I did Btech in Biotechnology with 61% marks and MBA in marketing via distance learning. I do have more than 8 years of work experience in healthcare industry.

With your B.Tech in Biotechnology, work experience in the healthcare industry, and an MBA in marketing, you might be eligible for a PhD program in biotechnology or life sciences. However, it’s best to research specific universities and their admission criteria to determine if you meet their requirements. Your work experience could potentially strengthen your application, even if your academic background isn’t a perfect match. It’s advisable to reach out to the universities you’re interested in to get accurate information about eligibility and the application process.
