University Grants Commission has released its policies and eligibility requirements for PhD candidates. Students can now pursue a PhD after finishing their four-year undergraduate degree programme.
According to the new standards, students who achieve a minimum CGPA of 7.5 out of 10 in a four-year undergraduate programme will be eligible for PhD admissions without a master’s degree. According to media reports, the UGC is anticipated to promulgate the UGC (Minimum Standards and Procedure for Award of PhD Degree) Regulations 2022 before the end of the month, and these regulations would most likely take effect for the 2022-2023 academic year.
