Ph.D. Thesis Presubmission Criteria
Kangkan Halder
Tuesday, 22 July 2008 15:00 UTC
When and how it can be decided that it is right time to submit the Ph.D. thesis.
a) PI decides
b) Your project is completed
c) You got the work published
d) You finished 5 years in lab
e) You are now the seniormost in lab and already an extended SRF
f) ......
It is an interesting and very real query (trauma for some) to find the answer.. Additionaly, is there a reasonable ‘democratic (PI and student)’ way of achieving it ??
PS: personal experiences are welcomed.

Early morning mail – good morning.
Dear Halder thank you very much for initiating such a discussion but in the field of science you won’t find more people to come sincerly to meet your demand – personal experience.
However I want to enter your arena with a simple but bitter truth for I never write things without the associated nouns and pronouns for in that case it comes out as a story made and phrased out of calculative mindset. Hope you accept and allow me to proceed. waiting for your permission.

Dear Dr. Yadav,
You are free to share/comment as you feel is necessary/useful to all. I understand that sharing PERSONAL experiences would have been MORE REALISTIC than discussing a reasonable way to decide/find an optimal solution to the query I raised. However, it is to an individual’s discretion to decide – what they want to share/comment.
sincerely,

Dear KH good morning -
We are Indians and there can’t be a second thought that our nature, attitude and behavior are different from Chinese as well Americans and Japanese. So as our hidden inner feelings that find seldom an expression like the one you have shown here.
I would like to inform firstly that I did my M. Sc in 1983 and it took 11 years thereafter to complete my Ph. D in 1994. While working with Dr. Goverdhan Mehta during 1994 – 1997 as PDF at University of Hyderabad I discovered that I was very good in writing stories. Since then I started writing incidence with names and dates. However, because of some compulsion, I will try to adhere with the minimal norms that have come in my way because of my present position and responsibilty towards the Systems of India. Suffice to say that I have applied for 135 international assignments and 24 openings in India but till date I have failed to succeed. My present assignment is with the Parliament and supreme Court of India wherein we are working on joint vision for Administrative Reforms, Development and Advancement. Your discussion topic is directly related to these three aspects of Indian Democracy. Thus we have taken it seriously. All matters discussed here will be under the lens of CVC and public srutiny. Please allow me to stop here for today.

In my view research publications are more important than anything else. Even if you submit or get PhD degree without publication in good journal, it have any meaning. Ultimately after PhD you have to search jobs in global market. Depend on field, in our field I believe one should have at least 4 research papers (average impact factor 3.0) as a first author in order to submit PhD thesis.
