Erstwhile King George Medical College
PhD in Medical Sciences
Full Time CoursePh.D. programme has been initiated at C. S. M. Medical University U.P. (CSMMU UP) in bio-medical sciences to promote state-of-art research and to mentor scholars their area of specialization. In addition, these candidates will be trained in areas like research methodology, bio-statistics, computer use, etc. This will ensure general proficiency in research and bio-informatics thereby ensuring quality and increasing likelihood of their pursuing a successful career in research. Successful candidates will be awarded “DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY” from C. S. M. MEDICAL UNIVERSITY U. P.. While this degree will not be awarded in any specific subject, the award certificate will mention the title of the thesis along with the month and year of the award of degree. The university will ensure that outputs of Ph.D. programme are original works of excellence leading to discovery of new facts in science or evolution of fresh approach towards interpretation of existing facts. This document lists the rules and regulations for the Ph.D. programme at the university. These can be reviewed and modified from time to time in the interest of the programme.
