The University Grants Commission (UGC) issued a notice inviting proposals from research scholars to study the quality of PhD theses being approved by various universities over the last ten years.
The UGC had on 21 May invited proposals for commissioning a study on ‘Quality of PhD Theses in Indian Universities’. The UGC hopes that the study will be completed within six months, reports Bangalore Mirror.
“UGC invites proposals to conduct a study on the ‘Quality of PhD Theses in Indian Universities’. The scope of the study will involve studying PhD theses of different disciplines from various Central Universities, State Universities, State Private Universities and Deemed to be Universities, completed over the last ten years,” said Rajnish Jain, Secretary of the UGC in an official statement.
Jain also said that study will be conducted on a pan India level since it will throw some light on the quality of PhD theses at the Central and state levels, and whether they meet the quality standards proposed.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
