Re: [pakgrid] why 3.0 CGPA for PhD Admission

I have seen guy a guy with 3.9 GPA but have no idea of research. Whatsoever i also have seen students with below 3 GPA are intelligent, talented and performs well in their professional life and even in studies, Secondly our GPA System is not equivalent , you can't be so sure for GPA system equivalency in different Institutions in pakistan. Hence it wont work for willing and deserving students for Phd, Moreover, its a great will of a student below 3 GPA if he/she is willing to go for further higher education at this stage where others just abandoned it.

However, a criteria to get admission in Phd like GAT-Subject is excellent, those who passed the NTS test will be deserving and has the potential irrespective of so called GPA System in Pakistan.

I believe in PhD the Q1 is the largest filter. The students below 3.00 CGPA would be at a greater risk of failing the qualifying exam part-1.

          I totally disagree with brother Adnan. We should focus here on quality rather than quantity. Most of the reputed universities in Pakistan have the criteria of atleast CGPA 3.0 for MS degree and I think it is a good step if HEC has done it.

   Yes, its totally unfair. If a HEC recognised institute issues MS degree, then its right of the student to take admission in PhD.

 Salam,
I hear that HEC has set up 3.0 CGPA requirement for admission in PhD, whereas the passing criteria for MS degree is 2.5.

If a person with fairly good academic record has not been able to secure a CGPA of 3.0 or above then he/she is deprived of getting admission in PhD.

Furthermore, students with equal CGPA from different universities have different calibre. 

With this email, I would like to float a resolution, that the admission in PhD should be the discretion of a university rather than HEC, i.e. every person who has cleared MS should be able to get admission in PhD provided he/she fulfils the criterion of a particular university. 


kind regards,
