The fresh extension which has been granted will enable MPhil (Master of Philosophy) and PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) candidates to submit their thesis by December 31, 2021.

The UGC notification undersigned by its secretary Rajnish Jain read, “Considering a large number of requests and also keeping in view the larger interest of the research scholars, the extension given for submission of M.Phil/Ph.D thesis till 31st December, 2021 shall also be applicable to all such students whose due date of submission of M.Phil/Ph.D thesis is on or before 31.12.2021”
