i. Duration - What exactly is the unofficial duration of the PhD Programme ? I have heard people from 2015 are presenting now while the new PhD Regulations between 2020 to 2025 require it to be completed within 6 years (8 in the case of girls) ? What's the UGC Policy regarding this and how is this being. I'm for sure not going to be completing it in 3 or 4 years considering I am also practicing and can't give that up.
ii. As a practicing advocate, I just want to know whether NLS is flexible or it is quite rigorous to handle both at a time. Of course this will depend upon the Supervisor who is allotted, but how is the Institution's perspective ?
I don't mind doing it for a long period of time, but I just want to know what is the experience of present Ph.D. Scholars at the University and how they are spending years and years for the Programme.
P.S. - I have gone through the earlier thread 1 year back regarding this, but it was too generic and went off on a different tangent than the original topic, hence requesting this latest information now before deciding to apply to NLS or to go with any other local university like Mysore University.
