From June 2009 the UGC had notified “minimum standards and procedure for awarding MPhil and PhD degrees”. The notification was hailed as a step towards regulating the way research was done in the universities. But till date, it has not been adopted by majority of the universities across the nation. http://www.tribuneindia.com/2010/20100411/main6.htm <img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
