The University Grants Commission (UGC) has lifted the two -year-old ban on distance MPhil and PhD courses. The move comes after widespread protests by various universities. Many Open Learning Universities like IGNOU were protesting the ban on the ground that their respective laws, passed by Parliament or legislatures, allowed them to offer such courses.

Thanks Mr. Bist for circulating the news and it may fulfill the dream of many true and desrving aspirants.Yes, it is a very good decision has been taken by the UGC but it has to be implemented with a strict safeguard to ensure quality and novelty. In fact decision was taken in 479th Meeting of the UGC on 8th July 2011.

Sir
Thank you very much for detail like Minutes of the 479th Meeting of the UGC.............
if any decision that make as a rule and not discuss about its negative impact , the result will be wrong . i am not against distance education in LIS because i also completed my education on that process but i think PhD. is not like bachelor or master degree instead it is based on candidate's thinking ability of given subject and it is not possible that everyone get PhD. and friends you already know about the current status of LIS education in distance mode(except IGNOU and some others universities). One single room based study center will open in overnight if you strong in M3( Man Managent & Money). it is practically true that why not we have seen IGNOU study center in our city/district as easy compare to other university study center. Regular mode students hardly get 70-80% on his/her BLIS and MLIS examination and distance mode students get these marks easily with the help of illegal examination process. Now distance education is fully convert in Shikha Mafia( i already mention IGNOU and some universities not in this category ) and once day if UGC revoke this ban without any strong guideline then PhD will available only paisewalon ke liye because a poor candidate generally helpless and muft me koun support karta hai . so finally i opposed this decision regarding to revoked ban of PhD through distance.
Dear Zaidy ji,
As a coin has two sides, like their are some advantage and dis advantage of of Phd through Distance Mode, Suppose UGC ban on Phd through distance mode, then can you help me sought out the following problems:
1. For a working professionals, who is very brilliant in his field and able to innovate new ideas and though and his he deserve admission in Phd, so how he can enroll himself/herself for Phd in Regular stream?
2. Again for working professionals, who cannot leave their jobs due to some family responsibility and other and would like to persue higher studies like Phd, what about them? Are they not getting Phd degree in their entire life because of working;
but, Some time I am also agree with you, Phd is a very high level research not like in what you read in master level. UGC must keep in the mind the quality of the research, research should be phd level.
As my own thinking, i dont know whether it is write or not, we can have some procedures for admission in Phd through distance mode:
1. IGNOU Should take some initiatives to Admission in Phd through Distance mode because it is providing DEC certificates to all distance education system in India.
2. Rank all the Distance Education Institution in India.
3. IGNOU can conduct a National Level Test like CLAT for admission in Phd through distance mode and eligible candidates can get admission according to their rank in respective Distance Institution;
4. Further, it can make a 3 month or 6 month course work compulsory for all candidates who are seeking admission in Phd through distance mode, so that quality of the research remain become the authentic, valuable and result oriented..........
Thank you very much
Yours Sincerely

@Har sir
thanks for given information related to PhD admission in IGNOU.
sir the quality is very important one as we know early PhD are long research work but these days it is on money based so it is loosing its value ..... it is also true that distance PhD is needed now a days but there should be very strict laws to maintain its quality then it will be successful otherwise the talented professional will suffer a lot ,,,,,, the entrance exam will be conducted by UGC in the same format as NET national level exam can help for the deserved candidates
@Badan Sir i understand the difference between open university and distance mode institute. and distance institute comes from distance university center. On public they are called counseling point where students can clear his/her doubt but actually there are teaching center and institute conduct classes . this is violation of UGC-DEC rules about distance education institute on behalf of Distance University . my question if UGC gives any relaxation of PhD through distance mode then UGC must watch time to time of whole process of this benefits and any university not take any advantages as wrongly according to paper based rules because the top management of some Distance universities continues miss guide the average known candidate through so call study center.
One possible solution of this problem is that only main campus of particular distance mode university can enroll the PhD system ie. there are no provision to any way to get admission in PhD in study center based and 3 to 6 months course work should be compulsory to all enroll students in main campus of particular distance mode student and distance mode university should follows latest regulation of UGC regarded PhD process.
Sir i appreciate your system of PhD enrollment process and that is good
Once again thanks for reply my question
