Hyderabad: PhD aspirants lament delay in results
PhD aspirants say that the process of admissions can be finished in four month.
Hyderabad: PhD aspirants who appeared for the entrance examination 10 months ago in Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad (JNTUH), are still awaiting their final results for engineering and science and technology courses. The aspirants say that the process of admissions can be finished in four months but the varsity is taking long to announce the results.
JNTUH released the notification for PhD entrance test on October 20, 2017 and the examinations were held from January 9 to January 11, 2018. The results of written examination were announced on January 21 and the PhD interviews were held on June 6, 2018 but the final allocation of seats is yet to be announced by the varsity, the aspirants alleged.
According to aspirants, if the varsity takes so long to announce the results, then allotment of guides may take more time. However, Director of Admissions said that due to multiple changes in the process, it's taking more time but they will be announcing the results in just a few weeks.
Ram Kumar, a PhD aspirant said: “The notification was out in 2017 and they gave one month for sending applications, which was extended to three more months. Later, we were told to submit the applications and our certificates again due to which there was a huge delay in announcing the final results.
“Despite submitting so many certificates, the varsity is asking us to submit our certificates again because of lack of clarity in notification. The university officials should clearly mention all the required details in the notification to avoid any delay and confusion among the aspirants.’’
Dr M. Manzoor Hussain, Director of Admissions-JNTUH said: “We have completed the Viva process and now the department’s committee is going to allot guides to qualified students.
“This is being delayed as the process takes a lot of time and also due to many changes in recent times. Earlier, there were no fixed vacancies such as B.Tech and M.Tech and this is happening after two years. Even in Osmania University, the process is still progressing even after they released the notification before us. We may release the final results for PhD within a few weeks.’’
