The Executive Council (EC) of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) Thursday agreed the proposals for digital submission of M.Phil, M.Tech papers and PhD thesis.
Rector I Chintamani Mahapatra said in a statement that “JNU will be taking the lead in India to launch this novel process of dissertation and thesis submission through the digital mode. This will facilitate a timely, hassle-free and very convenient process of submission of M.Phil dissertations, M.Tech dissertations and PhD theses for evaluation by the research scholars of the university.”
He further that “The procedure of online submission of dissertations and theses includes the “No Dues Clearance” form submission by the student… The school or centre offices will process the acquisition of the relevant clearances for the students online and the students will no longer have to move from place to place with a physical form to get “No Dues” clearances”.
All the checks such as plagiarism checks, draft dissertations, and payment of fees would be done digitally
JNU Vice Chancellor Professor M Jagadesh Kumar said, “If JNU has to become one of the top universities in the world, in addition to creating a good research infrastructure, it is also important to create an enabling ecosystem in the university by introducing efficient administrative and academic procedures. During the last four years, JNU has streamlined many such procedures in the university by adopting digital technologies.”
