Ph.D. Qualification Exam
1) Ph.D. Qualification Exam is held once or twice a year on the basis of the demand, in June-July and/or December-January, and entails two stages –written and oral. The process is completed within one week.
2) Each student is required to choose one major and one minor.
3) The written stage is composed of two distinct exams –Basic Exam and Advanced Exam.
4) The Basic Exam covers three of the basic issues in the selected major, and one of the basic issues in the selected minor, and is held in a single session. A total of twelve questions –three on each topic– are asked in the exam. The student should choose two questions on each topic to answer, amounting to a total of eight. Each question bears equal weight, and the exam is reviewed on a scale of 100.
5) The advanced exam covers three advanced courses to be chosen by the student from her major, and is again held in a single session. A total of nine questions –three on each topic– are asked in the exam. The student chooses two questions on each course. Each question bears equal weight, and the exam is reviewed on a scale of 100.
6) For the student to pass the written stage, she should score at least 50% in each topic of the Basic Exam, and score at least 65/100 on both the Basic Exam and the Advanced Exam overall.
7) Those who fail once in the written stage shall be included in the next Ph.D. Qualification Exam round once again.
8) Those who succeed in the written stage will be directed to the verbal one. In the oral stage, the student shall be required to respond to questions on the topics covered in the Basic Exam, and the courses covered in the Advanced Exam.
9) Those who fail once in the oral stage shall be included in the oral stage of the next Ph.D. Qualification Exam round once again.
