having to complete a master’s programme, according to the new regulations on award

the trend of publishing in predatory journals, the new regulations recommend either
patenting or publishing in peer-reviewed or referred journals only.
The University Grants Commission (Minimum Standards and Procedure for Award of PhD
degree) Regulations 2022 are likely to be announced by end of June and set to come
into effect from the forthcoming 2022-23 academic session.


Giving a boost to FYUP introduced under the National Education Policy ( ), the
regulations state that “a candidate seeking admission after a 4-year/ 8
semester ’s degree should have a minimum CGPA of 7.5/10,” while offering a
relaxation of 0.5 CGPA score on a scale of 10 for candidates from SC/ ST/ OBC/
differently-abled as well as economically weaker sections.
“Encouraging four-year undergraduate students with a research bent of mind to do PhD
is important to improve the research ecosystem in our HEIs. That is why we are
permitting four-year UG students who have a CGPA of 7.5/10 or above to be eligible for
PhD admission. Those who have a CGPA less than 7.5, will have to do a one-year
Master’s degree to be eligible,” said UGC Chairperson M Jagadesh Kumar.
As per the new regulations, 40% of the vacant seats can be filled through universitylevel tests. Two modes of admissions — 100% based on national level entrance tests or
60-40 split based on national level entrance tests and university level or state-level
entrance tests have been recommended.
If the total vacant seats are filled by the candidates qualifying in the national level
entrance tests (conducted by UGC, CSIR, , ICAR, etc), the selection of such
candidates will be based on a merit list with 100% weightage from interview/ viva
conducted by the higher education institution.
