Postgraduate Programme (by Research) emphasize mostly on research as the primary requirement for attaining the degrees. While there is no set number of credits required for graduation, students must take a pre-requisite course (MP12303 Research Methodology Course) to broaden their knowledge base. Before initiating their research, students must defend their proposal and get approval from the Institute. They are also required to present and submit progress reports on a regular basis. At the end of the programme, they are required to submit a thesis for examination and defend their final research project in pre-viva and viva sessions. According to the UMS Postgraduate Regulations, students must also publish journal articles and present (oral/poster) at any conference for graduation
