Dear Sri Majumder,

Thanks for your post and addressing an academic issue in real life requirement.

This is of course praiseworthy and I am sure that it will attract many more posts from aspiring young professionals.

However, my context is in a bit different note, and that is about the viability of such courses.

Of Course it is solely my own personal feelings and beliefs. 

As I understand, in our education system, a gap lies between Masters Degrees and Doctoral Research and M.Phil courses are supposed to  act as a bridge course to fill in the gaps. In our Masters Classes (irrespective of any branch) we are mostly intrigued to scoring a First Class or a Distinction. In such academic discourses, one (mostly) becomes familiar with the classroom oriented teaching.

Research, as I understand about it, is a bit different from the orthodox classroom teaching.

As such, many of us are often puzzled as to what should we do in Doctoral Research. I hope you might have noticed in this forum many young professionals are asking for Suitable Research Topics which means that they are confused about the work.

This is not only the case of LIS, but also in other subject fields as well. Here, at this juncture, doing M.Phil helps them. They learn about how to select a topic, and more importantly, they learn to VISUALIZE the task ahead in its full form. Gradually, they learn to analyze each segment of the work (in many case it is observed that Ph.D Topics are some what extended part of one's M.Phil dissertations!)

In our institute we conduct M.Phil Course and earlier it was called RTP  meaning Research Training Programme  And as I personally feel M.Phil is truly speaking, a form of formal Training or Orientation Course for doing Doctoral Research.

There is no denying that some of the Ph.D. Theses are not up to the mark,(this is a natural & global phenomena and NOT of our country only!)  but as I observe, the purpose of doing Ph.D has become a compelling necessity to those individuals to set a foot forward in professional ladder which you have adequately explained in your post.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha Shankar Ray, Calcutta
