I doubt your scholarship Please

Dear T C A Srinivasa-Raghavan

If you are not a Ph.D dont comment like this. Dontlower Ph.D by comparing with orientation courses. You canotget a Ph.D by attending 100 oreitantion courses or passing a 100 exam papers. You have to be a self learned scholar in the subject with proof of a discovery presented in a way that would be carefully supervised by a Guide. This discovery would have paved way for many other discoveries also further. A Ph.D degree or any other degree holder is expected to keep up the standard or dignity attached to the degree as long as he lives with that.If one's work is not deserving for Ph.D degree you can report the matter to the Univeristy prefereably duringor before his defence. The Unversity shall assess it and if agrees with you, will ask him to study more and resubmit it. Oreintation course areacceptable for all whether a Ph.D orNon Ph.D in the respective functionalareas.It is always possible that one,s Professional area of work is different from his Ph.D work. hence they may require external training or to put hard self effort to understand the job activity by themselves.That doesnot mean that Ph.D holdershall stoop downhis quality of output or stipulate a lower standard for others or in his organization. He will definitely know the requirements and as experience goes he will be a better person to evaluate the standard of work in his office than a non Ph.D.
