Why MPhil?

Many of My Students, Juniors and Friends ask my "Why MPhil Now? Is it valid?"

I have the justification.

1. What is Validity of a degree? Yes, in terms of NET exemption it is not valid. but it is a still a good degree. Think about pre-2006 Mphil. Why they did MPhil? Then there was no NET exemption.

2. Mphil has additional marks in College Librarian/ Univ Asst Librarian Interview.

3. If you join College/University with Mphil+NET, you will get 2 additional increment.

4. If you complete MPhil during service, you will be offered, 1 additional increment.

5. Once You have done MPhil with course work, you need not to go for course work again during PhD.

6. Easier to get a seat in PhD later.Several Universities indirectly refuse admission in to Phd direcly, rather offering Integrated Phd with first 2 years as MPhil . (JNU)

7. With MPhil you will be promoted to Senior Scale in 5 years. Advantage of 1 year.

So, "SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING"

Go for MPhil at least, if you could not get a seat in Phd.

Dear Apurba,

Thank you for posting these points, but I have read it somewhere. Are you posting this for the second time here at LIS Links?

'Because It's There'- These words were spoken by British climber George Mallory in 1924 when he was asked why he wanted to climb Mount Everest.
Your question 'Why M.Phil' has the same answer with a difference. As long as there are institutions, students, academic requirement and the possibility of acquiring 'Degree' without 'Knowledge'. 'Most of them' will rush to do it.

Sir,

Most of the Universities are stopped MPhil on Distance Mode, Some of the Universities are offering on Regular Mode.
