Thanks for your advise

Thanks. 1) If he completed only 20% of research work for all years, will his HOD/guide allow him to masters by any chance…. ? If this is the case, how to convince HOD to help him out ? will he still have to go through the whole master's submission process ? if yes, how many days will it take approx.….? 2) Is he needs to re-pay the stipend amount which he got earlier ..? Could you clarify on this.

Hi Buddy

Thanks for prompt response..

He doesn't have plan to suspend the program and continue ever.. he decided to quit.

If I would understand correct, instead of getting PhD, he can submit masters ( Example:MS-Master of Science) if then, will he get certificate for MS for 3 years....? If yes, what is the procedure to do immediately.. will Guide/HOD approve this.......?

Is there an certain approvals required to do so.. I don't have clear idea to advise him better so..

Please advise on this area..

Hi All,

I just explain problem in simple and short

My Friend completed 3.2 years Ph.D. program. Unfortunately, he unable to complete program since he is NOT concentrating on studies due to a severe headache every time (Health issues and Family Constraints). From 1 year, He met doctors and they suggested him to don't take the pressure. Moreover, he has been suffering from headache since he stared the program and he is not able to study the papers and research things and he is getting severe pain if he is stared doing research and moreover, Ph.D. is not his goal too and he just entered into this, to try if he could able to complete/succeed.

Finally, he came to conclusion to quit the program without any issues. Finally, he is expecting college to give other course completion certificate for completing of 3.2 years program.

Could you please advise us, how to approach guide/HOD and explain the things to move smooth without issues. What are the consequences that he has to face if quit the program now.

Appreciated for your quick response.
