Researchers,
I completed 10 semesters at a University in India and completed all the academic requirements. However University decided not to forward the Thesis for external review. Later same Thesis is accepted and published by publication house, International Journal of Scientific and Engineering Research, USA. The Thesis was well received by the researchers and there were query for funding. Thesis secured award. However, now I am looking for a formal endorsement by University/College for the same Thesis. Could you please suggest University/College which accepts the Thesis already published by publishers like Lulu, Amazon in the form of book for PhD by prior publication. Any leads will be greatly appreciated. I am attaching the slides and University comments along with my Defense to give idea of what happened.
Please suggest me University or College for PhD by prior publication.
Thanks and Regards,
Abhinandan H. Patil
Abhinandan - I received a PhD by publication from Griffith University (in Australia) in 2008 - and it was a positive experience. I'm not sure if they still do them though. It is an award that tends to go in and out of favour quite a lot within institutions that entertain it as one of their PhD award options.
In India, I don't think, any university is taking such kind of initiatives.
Kuldeep Singh Ji, Is it a restriction because of Guidelines of University Grants Commission or self imposed restrictions of Universities? I went through lot of UGC documents, credit transfer excerpts in News Papers etc. The subject of Inter University Credit Transfer is still grey to me. I approached several Universities for Credit Transfer. I am working on it from quite some time. But, unable to get any leads.
If you google PhD by publication there are many links to universities around the world.
