Annexure 7: Proposed amendment of PhD
ordinance, rules and regulations
 ORAL COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION: The supervisors should be included as
part of the committee. It has been observed that previously supervisors were
not part of the committee, which may have led to oversight or lack of input
from key stakeholders in the research process.
 FINALIZATION OF RESEARCH PLAN: Previously, the submission of the Research
Plan timeline was not mentioned in the PhD ordinances. We will need to add this
requirement to ensure clarity and consistency in the PhD program guidelines.
 Claim Conference Amount: PhD students may submit conference claims through
the form after they attain the status of a scholar, not before.
 MINIMUM/MAXIMUM REGISTRATION DURATION REQUIREMENT: As per the UGC
norms, the duration of program has been increased from 7 years to 8 years.
Additionally, added the Maternity leave norms.

Activities
 Only one consultancy project has come with a total sanctioned amount of 1.40 Lakhs.
