2. ELIGIBILITY
Candidates who have qualified their postgraduate degree on or after 1
January 1991 shall be required to have obtained a minimum of 55% of marks
in their respective postgraduate degrees to become eligible to register for the
Degree of Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.) and undergo the prescribed course
of study in an approved institution or department of this University.
For the candidates belonging to SC/ST community, and those who have
qualified for the Master’s degree before 01.01.1991 the minimum eligibility
marks shall be 50% in their Master’s Degree.
3. DURATION
The M. Phil. Programme spans over a period of one year from the
commencement of the programme comprising of two semesters.
4. COURSE OF STUDY
There are three courses for semester I and Dissertation and viva-voce
for semester II. The third course in the first semester shall be a specialization
related to the Dissertation. The student in consultation with the research
supervisor must select the third course and the research supervisor should

The Examination for specialization course will be conducted by the
controller of examination along with courses I and II. Two different sets of
question papers should be sent to the controller of examinations along with the
syllabus for specialization course by the respective research supervisors.
The area of the Dissertation, which should be relevant to the
specialization course, shall be intimated to the office of the controller of
examinations within a month from the date of the commencement of the
second semester. Candidates shall submit two copies of the Dissertation to
the controller of examination through the Supervisor and Head of the
Department concerned at the end of the second semester. The supervisor
should submit a panel of four examiners along with the dissertation for the
evaluation of specialization course, dissertation and to conduct the viva voce.
The respective supervisors shall be an internal examiner. The viva board
should consist of the research supervisor, head of the department and
external examiner.
The Examiners who value the Dissertation shall report on the merit of
Candidates as “Highly Commended”(75% and Above) or “Commended” (50%
and Above and Below 75%) or “Not Commended” (Below 50%).
Submission or re‐submission of the dissertation will be allowed twice a
year.
