Anti-ragging measures: one more legal document has to be signed by the students before getting admission.

UGC tightens Ph.D. norms- at least on paper. The Telegraph reports "..... Specifying minimum standards and procedures to award MPhil and PhD degrees for the first time, the UGC today unveiled plans that could make substandard research tougher!"When are they going to introduce 'standard' research then?

The Telegraph states "The regulations fix admission procedure, ban a research student from picking his own guide...". The second move is a bad one isn't it?
