Re: [pakgrid] why 3.0 CGPA for PhD Admission

Most universities have set 3.0 as passing GPA for MS. Below 3.0 passing GPA is normally for undergraduate programs. So 3.0 GPA for PhD is justifiable.

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,
