Revise and resubmit a PhD thesis: can be done in three months?

Dear Puning,

It's a good thing that you are working hard on your revisions to keep things going.
Sometimes you will not get the examiners joint report until after a few weeks.

From my personal experience, I had a brutal viva and was terribly shocked the receive the R&R outcome. It affected me so much and I was devastated, to be honest for the next two weeks. I couldn't focus on anything. So my advice to you is to ignore the negative feelings and stay away from people who make you feel that you have failed.
Work hard to finish your revisions and keep in contact with your supervisors.

You're getting closer to the PhD award so hang in there!

All the best

Dear Puning,

I personally think that three months to address major revisions for R&R is sufficient as examiners might think that you rushed through them rather than taking the time to engage thoroughly with their points. Sometimes after submitting your major revisions you could get another set of corrections to complete (for 3 months). Resubmitting your thesis is not the end of the journey so you should keep that in mind and preserve some energy for that.

All the best
