The University Grants Commission (UGC) warned students that it would not recognise online PhD programmes that are developed by edtech companies in collaboration with foreign institutes or universities.
"Such online PhD programmes are not recognised by the UGC. Aspiring students and the public at large, are requested to verify the authenticity of PhD programmes as per UGC Regulation 2016 before taking admission," the notice said.
The UGC notice released by AICTE in the last week of October also reaffirmed the UGC laws and their revisions and said universities need to comply with the same when conferring doctoral degrees on their students.
UGC REGULATIONS FOR PHD PROGRAMMES
All higher education institutions (HEIs) in India must provide doctoral degrees to students as per UGC regulations.
The UGC notice noted that the commission had announced the UGC (Minimum Standards and Procedure for Award of MPhil, PhD degrees) Regulation 2016 to regulate and standards for PhD degrees.
UGC revised the PhD rules in March 2022 and as per the UGC (Minimum Standards and Procedure for Award of MPhil, PhD degrees) 2022, students who have cleared UGC National Eligibility Test (NET) or Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) should get 60% of the PhD slots in universities while the university entrance exams could admit doctoral students for the remaining 40% slots.
