Subject: [MTC Global] Mumbai University ignores UGC norms on PhD thesis: Likely to be declared null and void
The Mumbai University has ignored the Uni8versity Grants Commission (UGC) norms which might lead to over 3,000 Ph.Ds awarded in the past five years being declared null and void.
The University did not maintain a repository and hosting of all the theses on the national research forum; having open defence presentations for each candidate before submission of the thesis; and updating the number of vacant seats under each subject before a notification for the entrance test is released.
As per the official notification of the UGC (Gazette of India, July 11-17), all affiliated universities, institutes and colleges have to fulfil the stated conditions for awarding an MPhil or PhD degree to any candidate registered under the college or university.
Presently, it is not mandatory for doctoral students to submit a soft copy of the thesis along with the bound version. As per the UGC norms, a soft copy has to be submitted within 30 days of the thesis presentation so that it can be uploaded to the Information and Library Network (INFLIBNET) Centre for other students to access. "While some students give soft copies of their thesis, some don't. As teachers, we cannot make this mandatory as we have not received any such formal guideline from the university," said a senior professor from the arts faculty at the university on the condition of anonymity.
In the absence of an online repository, the university has no database of the 3,000 plus Ph.Ds awarded till date. Vijay Joshi, principal of Somaiyya College who had taken up the issue at the university's management council meeting in 2014, said that in the absence of a repository students cannot refer to earlier research work, reported Mumbai Mirror.
