Ph.D Programme

• A research scholar is required to meet his / her supervisors and discuss his/her research work at least once in three months. Failure on this account, unless a prior permission exists, will be treated as one component of unsatisfactory research progress. The same shall be recorded by the supervisors in the research scholar’s monthly progress report.
• The academic / research progress of each research scholar shall be monitored by the Research & Doctoral Department by getting a Scholar Progress Feedback Form filled up by Supervisor(s) once in a quarter. Each research scholar is required to submit a progress report in structured format duly approved by the Supervisor(s).

Research Committee may cancel the admission of a research scholar in any one of the following eventualities:

• If he /she withdraws voluntarily from the Ph.D. programme.
• If his/her continuation fee is in arrears for a period of more than two terms.
• If his/her academic progress as reported by his supervisor(s) in monthly reports is found unsatisfactory continuously over a period of six months.
• If he/she is found to be involved in an act of gross misconduct, plagiarism, copyright infringements and/or indiscipline, as reported by his supervisor(s).
• If a research scholar has not been able to get his/her research proposal accepted at IMT within twelve months of his admission to IMT.
