Ph.D

Ph.D. is a purely research based programme, as per the UGC guidelines, it cannot be done in distance leaning mode. A course work with specific regular duration is must have. However, there is a provision of pursuing it in part time mode in LPU. Moreover, LPU offers flexible coursework options-
1) Classes on weekends (Saturday & Sunday only)
2) 4 days course work every month (Preferably every second week: Thu-Sun)
3)15 days course work (November/December)
The eligibility for Ph.D. Management programme is:-
Masters degree with 55% aggregate marks in a relevant discipline or equivalent, subject to clearing LPU NEST and Interview. If you are UGC/NET qualified then you are exempted from LPU NEST but to avail the maximum scholarship it is advisable to appear in LPU NEST.

I also had the same query for one of my niece who was planning to enrol in Ph.D management. On inquiring, I came to now that the university offers
a. Ph.D Management - Part time (NOC required from the Employer)
b. Ph.D Management - Full time
The eligibility is a) Master's degree with 55% aggregate marks in a relevant discipline or equivalent, subject to qualifying LPUNEST and Interview;
b) Other conditions as prescribed in the Guidelines for Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D. ) programmes. (5% relaxation to SC/ ST/ OBC (non-creamy layer)/ differently-able candidates)An applicant will be short listed for interview on the basis of his/ her score in the entrance examination LPUNEST (Ph.D. ). I also came to know the important point that the final selection for admission in Ph.D. will be based on the performance in Entrance Test (70% weightage) and Interview (30% weightage) subject to scoring minimum marks in the Interview. As per the rules, course work is mandatory and after that supervisor selection takes place and the same is taken by a special Division I. e CDRP which is meant only for undertaking research related things. In addition to this, maximum two supervisors will be allowed, one main supervisor from the concerned department from LPU and one Co-supervisor can be opted from LPU or from other institution /university /industry /NGO provided he/ she meets the eligibility requirement as per LPU policy. I must say that LPU 's system is planned in such a way that no one feels any inconvenience. The counsellor told that the last date to apply for Ph.D is 22-7-2020 which you should not miss due to any reason.

Hi
It would be a good choice to opt for LPU as in the present scenario this is the university which caters to the all-round development of its students and nurtures it with care to boost the career to a pinnacle of ultimate success which might be the envy of many. LPU has been ranked by NIRF among the top 100 universities including the IITs because of its worth. Lovely Professional University is committed to provide an outstanding environment for excellence in Research and Development in all the disciplines. The gamut of LPU research activities make it a unique academic environment that stimulates creativity and critical thinking, and providing impetus to recruiting, supporting, and developing highly-skilled motivated researchers. Every part time scholar is required to mark his/her attendance in the university for at least 2 days in a month (minimum 12 hours/month) by physically visiting the university and meeting the supervisor. In case, scholar is not able to visit University physically in any of the month then he/she has to meet the attendance requirement of 15 days in one go or in more spells in a semester and 30 days in a year. You will have to give LPU NEST the syllabus and pattern is given on the website of LPU. Check the given link for details: https://nest.lpu.in/phd/important-details.php
