In a significant development for research scholars, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has announced plans to introduce ten ‘PhD Excellence Citations’ annually, recognizing high-quality doctoral research. Starting next year, these citations aim to honour outstanding theses across five key disciplines: Sciences (including Agricultural and Medical Sciences), Engineering and Technology, Social Sciences (including Education and Humanities), Indian Languages, and Commerce and Management. UGC Chairman M. Jagadesh Kumar emphasized that this initiative is designed to promote excellence in research among young scholars and to encourage innovative contributions to various fields.
This dual announcement marks a promising step for students and researchers alike. While Jamia Millia Islamia continues to pave the way for aspiring PhD candidates through its comprehensive programs, the UGC’s citations highlight a growing recognition of the importance of high-quality research in India. As the application deadline approaches, candidates are urged to prepare diligently and seize the opportunity to further their academic careers at one of India’s premier institutions.
