Taking a strict step, Mumbai University has canceled the PhD registration of 553 students who were not able to complete their research for many years. These are those students who had gone beyond the maximum time limit set by the UGC, but were not showing any significant progress in their studies. Many students remained registered in PhD for 8 to 10 years, but the research work did not progress. For this reason the university had to take this tough decision.
According to reports, the cases of these students were reviewed in detail in the Academic Council meeting of the university. According to reports, many students had taken registration for years, but there was no progress in their research at all. A senior official said that many students had blocked PhD seats in a way. 8-10 years passed, but the research did not progress. In such a situation, seats were not becoming vacant for new students.
limited capacity of guide
In PhD, every student needs a guide for supervision, and every guide has his own limit as to how many students he can handle simultaneously. But when older students remain stuck for years, the capacity for guides becomes full. Many new students had complained that they passed the PhD entrance exam but did not get a guide for one to two years. Due to this his research could not even begin.
Maximum 8 years for PhD
As per UGC guidelines, normally 3 to 6 years are given to complete PhD. If the student re-registers, he can get additional time of 2 years. In this way a student has a maximum time of 8 years. Women and disabled candidates get a total relaxation of up to 10 years. According to these rules, when the university checked the files of 553 students, it found that these students had gone beyond the maximum limit of 8 and 10 years.
