The Research Guide shall submit a panel of eight examiners (Annexure 12) in the area of research to the Vice Chancellor through the Head, PhD Programme & Research Projects while forwarding the copies of the synopsis and Thesis to the University. The panel must include at least 50% examiners from outside the State. There shall be no examiner from the same organisation and city as that of the Research Scholar. The Vice Chancellor may ask Head, PhD Programme & Research Projects to include additional name(s) in the panel of examiners.
The Vice Chancellor will appoint two examiners from the panel, out of which one will be from outside the State where the Research Scholar pursued the Research Work.
All three examiners including supervisor shall submit a detailed Assessment Report in the prescribed Performa (Annexure 13) within eight weeks from the date of the receipt of the Thesis. The assessment report will clearly indicate :
a) The Thesis is recommended for the award of a PhD degree.
b) The Thesis is recommended for the award of a PhD degree after minor revision.
c) The Thesis be revised.
d) The Thesis is rejected.
e) Recommended for publication Yes/No/After modification
f) Questions that he/she may like the Research Scholar to answer in the viva-voce, in a separate envelop.
In case an examiner recommends revision of the Thesis, he/she shall also indicate whether the revision suggested requires :
(i) Substantial changes in the Thesis before it can be accepted for a PhD degree.
(ii) Minor additions or alterations in the Thesis before its acceptance.
(iii) The examiner may indicate whether he/she would like to re-examine the Thesis after the revision.
The reports of the examiners (excluding the questions suggested for viva-voce) will be opened by Head, PhD Programme & Research Projects.
In case both examiners recommend rejection, the Thesis shall be rejected.
In case one out of the two examiners rejects the Thesis, it will be sent to a third examiner (appointed by Vice Chancellor) for evaluation. The Thesis shall be accepted only when at least two examiners approve it.
In case an examiner recommends modification to the Thesis, the Research Scholar shall carry out the necessary revision/modification as suggested by the examiner before the case is processed further.
The Research Scholar, who is required to re-submit the Thesis, must do so within one year from the date of receipt of the examiner’s comments by the University, unless an extension is specially given by the Dean of concerned Faculty. A re-submitted Thesis shall be examined by the same examiner who had recommended re-submission unless the examiner is unable to, or declines to do so.
The viva-voce examination shall be compulsory for all the Research Scholars and shall be conducted by the following Committee as far as possible within two months of opening the reports :
(i) Dean of Faculty – Chairperson
(ii) One of the External Examiners – Examiner
(iii) Research Guide(s)
