concerned area of the research. On receipt of satisfactory thesis
evaluation reports from both the examiners, an Oral Examination Board
will be constituted by the Chairman Senate for the conduct of the thesis
defense / oral examination. The members of the Board will include one
of the external examiners, thesis supervisor(s) and another examiner

Examination Board recommends the same after successful defense of the
thesis and has completed other requirements as per the Ph.D.
regulations.
Graduation Requirements: All Ph.D. scholars irrespective of the type of registration will have to complete the following requirements for Graduation:
