MA degree makes IPS officer 'fit' for AIIMS PhD
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->NEW DELHI: Can a Master of Arts (MA) degree in archaeology make you eligible for a PhD in forensics at AIIMS? Yes, if the candidate is AIIMS's
own deputy director of administration (DDA).
In what the AIIMS faculty is saying is a gross violation of rules, the institute's DDA, Shailesh Yadav, was cleared by acting director, Dr T D Dogra, to appear for the entrance theory exam for PhD in forensic sciences
even when he does not have an MSc degree nor a masters degree in a subject allied to medical sciences.

Sources told TOI that the IPS official from the home state of Union health minister, Anbumani Ramadoss, also applied as an in-service candidate which would allow him to hold on to his post of DDA. The rules for applying under this category states: ''Members of the medical fraternity can apply for registration to PhD course as in-service candidate.''
