University of Hyderabad opts online mode for Ph.D evaluation

The University of Hyderabad (UoH) has introduced an online system for submission, processing and evaluation of MPhil/PhD dissertation/theses.

To cut short the time required for evaluation and to make the whole process paperless, it was decided to process M Phil and PhD dissertations and theses only in the online mode, the UoH officials on Tuesday said.

In the new process, M Phil and PhD students have to upload soft copies of their synopsis/dissertation/thesis online through e-governance portal of the university, from their own login id, along with the copy of course completion certificate and plagiarism report.

According



to the UoH, after the Vice-Chancellor appoints the external examiners online, the synopsis is sent for acceptance.

“Post the acceptance, the examiner will receive an automated email with the user credentials and stipulated time will be given to the examiner for evaluation of the dissertation/theses online. The examiners will get auto-reminders about the dates and in case of a delay, the task will be passed on to the next examiner. No hard copy is required by the university at all. After the reports are received, the viva-voce is conducted online. The viva-voce recommendations are approved by the Vice-Chancellor online and then the results are published,” the UoH said.
