BU scholars protest against B-Category PhD- 17-Jul-2015
Coimbatore: Over 200 research scholars from various departments of the Bharathiar University staged a protest at the entrance of the university on Thursday, seeking cancellation of the B-Category PhD offered by the university.
Under the B-Category, a candidate can select a guide who is not working in this university or affiliated colleges. The protesting scholars noted that this was against the University Grants Commission (UGC) norms and demanded the university allow candidates who have completed PhD in this category only to handle classes but not guide research scholars.
Following the protest, the university has formed a 10-member committee comprising the heads of a few departments to look into the demands of the students, it has been reported. The committee has also submitted a report on the issue to the Registrar.
