Nagpur : In all 303 research scholars have been invited to make presentation of their research work. The scholars have submitted applications for PhD, under four faculties, with Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University. A large number of students, who are carrying out research in various subjects, are in Physics (25), Chemistry (23) and Pharmaceutical Sciences (17) in pure sciences. Electronic Engineering (13) and Mechanical Engineering (15) are leading fields among the engineering students for doctoral research. This is followed by Civil Engineering (8). The commerce students are also leading with 25 registration and 21 in Business Management and Management.
Surprisingly the highest number of students – 29, are in Social Work. It may be because of wide canvass available to the students of social work in carrying out research. At the same time the university has a large number of Social Work Colleges under its jurisdiction. Except MSS Institute of Social Work, all the colleges are under Department of Social Work, which has a better student: teacher ratio, compared to that under UGC. Among those carrying out research in languages Marathi leads the table with enrolment of 21 students, followed by 18 in English. Surprisingly there is no registration under other languages.
The subjects which have gained more importance in the recent past, like Computer Science, Electronic Science, Environmental Science, Microbiology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Hotel Management and Catering Technology, Food and Nutrition have less number of students opting for doctoral research. The reasons for this distinction will have to be worked out by the academicians, so that more employability can be generated among the university students.The university has announced dates for their presentations, mostly in the month of May, 2019.
