I am not convinced with the authors. If this will be appriciated they again challange the Engineers, Doctors and other professionals. This Ph.D. is not just a single degree it is the study of a technique to learn so many things and the techniques you learn and the skills you develop can not be spoiled. So how one can say that it is outdated????? I think the author's must rethink and review their understanding of Ph.D. and I'm fully agree with the views of Prof. Subrahmanya
