'If a student has to give viva for PHD then...,' Students angry over order to vacate hostels in AMU
Anger is growing on the AMU campus against the decision of the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) administration to vacate all the hostels including PhD students. These include students who have not yet given their doctoral oral examination.
Big news has come out from Aligarh Muslim University i.e. AMU. Anger is growing on the AMU campus against the decision of the AMU administration to vacate all the hostels including PhD students. These include students who have not yet given their doctoral oral examination. At the same time, the Proctor of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) has defended this decision.
The order increased the trouble of the scholars.
Jammu and Kashmir Students Union official Zubair Reshi, a PhD scholar at AMU, said, "This order has further aggravated the already disturbing situation of the scholars who have lost almost two years of their research due to the COVID-19 pandemic."
He said these two years marked by unprecedented disruptions have put a lot of mental pressure on research scholars striving to regain their academic footing. Given these disruptions, the administration must show empathy towards the students of Jammu and Kashmir, especially female students.
'Necessary accommodation will be provided when viva has to be given'
Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) proctor Mohammad Waseem Ali denied any allegations of excesses by the authorities. He said the university has decided to "review all genuine cases of those PhD students who have seriously pursued their research work during the stipulated five years." "We cannot give full permission to all such researchers who have failed to complete their research during the stipulated period of five years," he said.
Ali said if a student has to give viva for his PhD thesis, he should also vacate the hostel. "Necessary accommodation will be provided to him when he has to give a viva examination," he said.
