Comprehensive Examination:
Before the commencement of the thesis, every student has to take a comprehensive examination to demonstrate their grasp of knowledge that they acquired in the area of research. The comprehensive examination will be of 8 hours duration. The aim of the examination is to determine the student's ability to draw on the knowledge they acquired through an integrated framework. The grading will be based on Qualify/Not Qualify option.
Doctoral Thesis:
The thesis write-up will start after the approval of the research proposal by the PhD committee. As per HEC policy, the final doctoral thesis is sent abroad for evaluation from two foreign experts. Based on the Evaluation Report by foreign experts, the student must take a Viva examination. The examiners will include external and internal examiners and, where possible, the foreign experts who evaluated the written thesis. All scholars must publish a scholarly paper in an HEC-recognized journal for the award of a PhD degree.
