Course Work

 

a) The research scholars should successfully complete two courses out of four courses prescribed by the Doctoral Committee within one year (preferably in one semester for regular scholars) from the date of admission into the programme.

b) Regularly offered PG electives should not be taken for Directed Study – the Ph.D. scholar should rather wait to study along with PG students.

c) In the case of PG subjects, the Ph.D. scholar will attend classes along with PG students and will be evaluated in the same relative grading scale.

d) In the case of Directed Study subjects, details of contact classes shall be maintained in the attendance book. The evaluation pattern will be similar to that of PG subjects – cycle tests and assignment evaluated in the Department and end semester examination conducted. However, for awarding grades, the absolute grading scale shall be followed.

e) The Part-time Ph.D. scholars shall normally undergo the course work during their residential period of one semester. In exceptional cases, a scholar may take a regular PG subject along with PG students during his non-residential period, if he can manage to attend classes. However, this exception does not apply to Directed Study subjects. These subjects shall be taken only during the residential period.

f) PG level courses may also be prescribed to Ph.D. scholars irrespective of the departments they belong to and credit may be given as per usual evaluation procedure. But such courses should not have been taken by the candidate in their Post Graduate programme.

g) Courses may also be prescribed from those offered by Departments other than that in which the research scholar is registered. No change in courses prescribed shall be made without the approval of the DC. It shall, however, be open to the DC to prescribe additional courses whenever found necessary.

h) Courses completed after the date of registration will only count towards the requirements of award of Ph.D. degree.
