'Faulty' Rules For PhD Guides, Allege Sambalpur University Students

The implementation of UGC Regulations 2016 by Sambalpur University, Odisha seems not to be well accepted by the students. Dissatisfied with the University's norm for PhD guides, students have taken to social media platforms and local dailies for blurting out their anguish. 'Sambalpur University, is deliberately misinterpreting UGC PhD Regulation 2016 as a result of which lecturers from affiliated colleges have failed to become PhD guide and students are suffering a lot,' says the letter addressed to the Governor and Chancellors of all Universities in the State.

The letter further alleges about the violation of UGC PhD regulations 2016, and hints at the situation of lack of guides.

NDTV tried to reach the varsity Registrar for getting their opinion on this matter; but he could not be reached. However the Registrar-in-charge has assured to look into the matter.
