RE: [pakgrid] why 3.0 CGPA for PhD Admission

It is strange argument to allow every M.Sc. holder to do Ph.D. The student must be able to do independent research, analysis and critique existing knowledge. He/she must have a minimum standard to perform these activities and also aptitude.

It is the same argument that every H.Sc. holder must be allowed to enter a medical or engineering college.

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,
