3. GUIDELINES

The current guidelines for research as per approved by the University are as follows

(i) A student shall select a topic of thesis which will be recommended by the supervisor by the end of 1st academic year of studies for approval of the Advanced Studies & Research Board.

(ii) Each student shall perform research work in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree under the supervisor appointed for the purpose by the Advanced Studies and Research Board.

(iii) The research supervisor must hold a postgraduate degree which shall not be less than M. Phil in the relevant subject with sufficient experience.

(iv) Wherever necessary, a co-supervisor may also be appointed with postgraduate qualifications in the related field

(v) In case a student fails to complete the research and thesis requirements of M. Phil within a period of 2 years, provided that he has passed his 1st year examinations successfully (both major and one minor), an extension of another one year may be granted on the recommendation of the supervisor.

(vi) No extension beyond 12 months shall be granted under any circumstances. A student failing to submit his/her thesis by the end of the 3 rd year shall cease to be a student of the University. He/she shall not be allowed any other chance.

(vii) The student is required to submit 4 copies of thesis to the Controller of Examinations within the prescribed time limit.

(viii) The thesis shall be printed on A4 size paper and initially be submitted in ring bound form along with soft copy on CD and finally be submitted as black hard binding with golden lettering on the front and the spine in prescribed manner.

(ix) A copy of the thesis shall be sent to the library by the Controller of Examinations after successful completion of the requirements of the M. Phil degree by the candidate.
