I am interested in the MSc-PhD
programmes at the IITs.
If I am admitted to one of these programmes
and wish to discontinue the PhD programme
for some reason, am I eligible for an MSc
degree?
If
you are applying to the MSc-PhD
programs at the IITs, it is expected that your interest lies in
research and the PhD degree is your long-term goal. If for some reason,
students are unable to continue for the PhD degree, then different IITs
have different exit options.
At
IIT Kanpur, transfer from the MSc-PhD
dual degree programme
to the MSc programme is not permitted.
However, for students admitted to the MSc-PhD
dual degree programme, MScdegree
will be given after successful completion of all academic requirements
for the first six semesters while working towards the PhD degree.
At
IIT Kharagpur, a student admitted to the joint MSc-PhD
programs will be eligible for consideration to take admission into the
PhD programmeprovided
the student obtains a certain minimum CGPA at the end of the fourth
semester. Otherwise the student will have to leave with aMSc
degree. A student may also on his/her own decide not to continue with
the PhD programme and
leave with an MSc
degree after successful completion of all the academic requirements for
the first four semesters.
For
all other IITs, the policy for exit options, if any, can be obtained
from the websites of the respective departments offering the programmes.
