The suggested examiners should not be co-authors / collaborators of the research supervisor of the candidate. The Vice-Chancellor will appoint one national and one international examiner to assess the thesis.
• The national and international examiners are expected to evaluate the thesis within two months and provide their comments. If the foreign examiner doesn't respond, we may consider an Indian examiner to speed up the process. The final defence will only take place after receiving positive recommendations from both the examiners.
• If one examiner recommends and the other does not recommend the thesis, the Vice-Chancellor will refer the thesis to a third examiner for evaluation. If the third examiner recommends the thesis, the final defence will proceed.
