phd degree of ambedkar

Bhimrao Ambedkar (1891–1956)
Founding Father, modern India
MA 1915, PhD 1927
LLD 1952 (hon.)

Ambedkar was a leader in the struggle for Indian independence, the architect of the new nation's constitution, and the champion of civil rights for the 60 million members of the "untouchable" caste, to which he belonged. He spoke and wrote ceaselessly on behalf of "untouchables," but his passion for justice was broad: in 1950 he resigned from his position as the country's first minister of law when Nehru's cabinet refused to pass the Women's Rights Bill. Ambedkar was committed to maintaining his independence, and many of the positions he staked out in a long and complex relationship with Gandhi—on the future of Hinduism, for example—remain central to debate within Indian society.

Ambedkar received a scholarship to Columbia from the Maharajah of Baroda. He earned his MA in 1915 and then obtained a DSc at the London School of Economics before being awarded his Columbia PhD in 1927. In 1952, Columbia presented him with an honorary doctorate for his service as "a great social reformer and a valiant upholder of human rights." In 1995, a bronze bust of Ambedkar was donated to Lehman Library by the Federation of Ambedkarite and Buddhist Organizations of the United Kingdom.

At Columbia, Ambedkar studied under John Dewey, who inspired many of his ideas about equality and social justice. Ambedkar later recounted that at Columbia he experienced social equality for the first time. "The best friends I have had in my life," he told the in 1930, "were some of my classmates at Columbia and my great professors, John Dewey, James Shotwell, Edwin Seligman, and James Harvey Robinson."

Revised in January 2004 with help from Professor Sukhadeo Thorat of Jawharlal Nehru University and the Indian Institute of Dalit Studies, New Delhi.

A renowned educator active in many causes, philosopher John Dewey was a great influence on Ambedkar, who formed many of his ideas about equality and social justice as Dewey’s student.

Ainslie Embree, Columbia professor emeritus of history and a leading scholar of India, poses with Ambedkar’s widow Savita on the occasion of the bust’s presentation on Oct. 24, 1995.

In 2000, the vice chancellor of Bombay University visited Ambedkar’s bust in Lehman Library.

Dr. B. R. Ambedkar: A Veritable Phenomenon

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, a veritable phenomenon, intellectual giant, multifaceted erudite scholar, first Indian to pursue doctorate in economics abroad, had acquired qualifications that surpassed the multiple M.A., multiple Ph.D., M.Sc. (Econ), D.Sc. (Econ), Barrister-at-law from world’s top and renowned universities in his early 30s. At such a young age, he had been through a real life educational experience that has not even managed by any contemporary renowned scholar in any part of the world; almost impossible for any common man to acquire in their lifetime.

Many great man of the world suffered from numerous disabilities and hardships but Dr. Ambedkar suffered from the most inhuman disability namely stigma of “untouchability”due to his birth in the most oppressed and exploited people of the world.Untouchable’s condition were hellish; completely tyrannized, insulted, disregarded from thousands of years. It’s hard to elaborate on the agonies, indignities, humiliation and overall sufferings of the untouchables. Millions of untouchables were suffering through such inhuman, discriminatory behavior being practiced in Indian society. Words would fall short to describe Dr. Ambedkar’s journey of coming from such a lowest rung of the exploited society to becoming greatest incomparable scholar in the world. He was rightly called the symbol of revolt as he revolted against untouchability alone and emancipated millions of untouchables without shedding the single drop of blood. Some calls him a luminous star in the galaxy of great man; whereas majority calls him as a Sun who is almost incomparable with anyone.

In his early 20s Dr. Ambedkar took the mantle of revolting against the social discrimination and inhuman stigma of untouchability practiced in India.A leader without a paper is like a bird without a wing. Being an eminent writer, vociferous orator and fearless journalist along with his encyclopedic knowledge and wisdom, with time he continued to change the course of actions for eradicating untouchability by starting his own newspaper media Mooknayak (The Leader of the Dumb,1920), Brahishkrut Bharat (India Ostracized,1927), Janata(The People,1930) and Prabudhha Bharat (EnlightenIndia,1956) to spread his revolutionary ideas, thoughts and voice to the Indian society.

Dr.Ambedkar not only fought for untouchables rights and raised them to humanity but also worked for betterment of all backward and oppressed communities.The vintage position as a member of Bombay Legislative Council (1926-34)enabled him to sponsor several bills for the welfare of the Indian communities overall despite of having British rulers. This has helped him to get official nomination to attend three round table conferences (1930-33) and seek justice to all oppressed communities of India by demanding “Communal Awards”.

To abolish the graded inequalities and protecting the human rights of labor classes, he founded Independent labor party in 1936. He put forward legislation to implement “State Sponsored Industrialization” and provided strong labor laws to protect factory workers, remunerative wages, to fix maximum hours of work, leave with pay and a sanitary dwelling at reasonable amount.He also advocated for abolition of the feudal land holding system, extensive program for the improvement of educational facility in technical institute, and equal opportunity to all Indians in industries.He then initiated the movement for Population control and family planning as part of ILP’s manifesto. He was in the opinion that controlling nation’s economy is impossible if the population is not controlled.

India’s central banking institution –Reserve Bank of India (RBI) which controls the monetary policy of the Indian rupee and plays an important part in the development strategy of the government of India has been conceptualized as per the guidelines, working style and outlook presented by none other than great economist Dr.Ambedkar in front of the Hilton Young Commission in 1935. This commission came to India under the name of “Royal Commission on Indian Currency & Finance” and every member of this commission were holding Dr.Ambedkar’s book “The Problem of the Rupee –Its origin and its solution.”His economic policies which have saved India even in the times of great Economic Depressions.He suggested free economy, globalization, liberalization and privation to stabilize the Rupee and control the economic growth back in 1923.The original source of reference for all the 13 Finance Commission reports, are based on Dr. Ambedkar’s Ph.D. thesis, “The Evolution of Provincial Finance in British India”.

Dr. Ambedkar; a visionary backed up with multi-dimensional enormous knowledge and wisdom laid down the foundation to build great nation well in advance.

• Labor Department under the guidance of Dr.Ambedkar in 1942, who decided to establish “Central Technical Power Board” (CTPB) for power system development, hydro power station sites, hydro-electric surveys, analyzing problems of electricity generation and thermal power station investigation along with usage of Atomic energy for controlling river flood.He outline the infrastructural design and led the establishment of the Damodar Valley project, Hirakud project and Sone river project.Dr.Ambedkar emphasized on the significance and need for the “Grid System”, which is still working successfully even today based on his thoughts and ideas.
• Dr. Ambedkar enacted many labor laws; Indian Trade Union Act, Industrial Disputes Act, Compensation, Working Hours, Equal pay for equal work irrespective of the gender and Maternity Benefit, women and child labor protection are the main. He banned working of women in deep mines ignoring opposition from the British.
• Dr. Ambedkar was of the firm opinion that unemployment, poverty and shortage of consumer goods cannot be removed without industrialization of India. According to him creating large scale employment produces essential goods for mass consumption. It utilizes raw materials, reduces foreign dependence and increasing security to labor, and ultimately leads to the overall economic development of the country.
• Dr. Ambedkar demanded the nationalization of the natural resources like water, gas, land and insurance, transportation etc. This is the utmost important part for developing the nation without locking the nation’s future in few individual’s hands. Due to privatization if the natural resources goes into private locker of industrialist then labor, poor class of India will suffer. He has foreseen this demand almost 100 years ago.
• To abolish tyranny for social status of Hindu women and uplift them for the equality Dr. Ambedkar drafted various new law acts (property inheritance, divorce rules, minority and guardianship, adoption and maintenance) under “Hindu Code Bill” and presented as the first law minister of independent India. This shows his love for the building nation as a whole by providing equal opportunity to everyone.
• After the end of 2ndworld war there were many challenges for India, such as re-establishment of economy, improvement in agriculture, development of industries, rehabilitation and re-deployment of defense services etc.; those had been handled and led by Dr. Ambedkar through Reconstruction Committee of Council (RCC).
• Dr. Ambedkar was instrumental in establishment of National Employment Exchange in provincial government of British India after the end of 2nd world war and also the tripartite mechanism of settling labor issues through trade unions,skill development initiative in the government sector. He bought “Insurance Act” in India as the first nation among the East Asian countries.
• Even today Dr. Ambedkar’s “Thoughts on Linguistic States”, written in December 1955 is much more relevant. This book gives what geographic knowledge a man could possess along with outlining populations, language consideration etc. and acts as a blue-print to form out smaller states for better governance and betterment of India as a Nation. Dr. Ambedkar envision to build the common harmonious culture across the nation through a single national language. He clearly explained the importance of having a single language and appeal all to put an efforts to adopt and develop Hindi as a common language. Dr. Ambedkar loved to be a student till he breathed his last; during his entire lifetime one can see his deep passion about books. His personal library had more than 100,000 books gives rich testimony to his wide, varied and profound reading and knowledge he accumulated. There was no book in his library without notes supplied by him with pencil. He had distinguish authority on the subjects ranging from Sociology, Law, Economics, Politics, Theology, and Anthropology to History. His 100s of volumes of writing and speeches exhibits what a great towering personality India had which is not even possible in computer’s era for any scholar to achieve that feet. Dr. Ambedkar was fully convinced that the education is for liberation and for national development.He laid utmost stress on the expansion and promotion of education;founded “The People’s Education Society” and established renowned colleges to promote the education among untouchables and other sections of the Indian society.

Before the independence of India; Dr. Ambedkar was honored and assigned the most responsible task of drafting the Constitution of free India which demanded enormous knowledge of law, geography, economics, politics, sociology and history of India.He wanted to establish the social democracy based on the principles of liberty, equality, and fraternity and for that he wanted to put state government mechanism to bring such radical change in Indian society than creating a social war and shedding bloods.As part of architecting India’s constitution he imbibes these principles. Last but not the least,he has embraced Buddhism a greatest scientific humanitarian religion exists in the world on 14 October 1956which is based on the principles he inherited for the Indian’s democracy. With all his character described above; he reached to the stature of Bodhisattva and became Bodhisattva Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.

Dr.Ambedkar’s name and fame is spreading more and more day by day crossing all geographical barriers and racial impediments. In short dead Ambedkar is proving even more disturbing and dangerous than the living Ambedkar was to the orthodox, forces of reaction and the exploiters. India is only now beginning to discover him. The influence and the power he exercised on the minds of the people cannot be correctly assessed.

Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar

Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (1891-1956) was born on 14 April 1891 in Mhow Cantonment, Madhya Pradesh. He completed his primary schooling in Satara, Maharashtra and completed his secondary education from Elphinstone High School in Bombay. His education was achieved in the face of significant discrimination, for he belonged to the Scheduled Caste (then considered as ‘untouchables’). In his autobiographical note ‘Waiting for a Visa’, he recalled how he was not allowed to drink water from the common water tap at his school, writing, "no peon, no water".

Dr Ambedkar graduated from Bombay University in 1912 with a B.A. in Economics and Political Science. On account of his excellent performance at college, in 1913 he was awarded a scholarship by Sayajirao Gaikwad, then Maharaja (King) of Baroda state to pursue his M.A. and Ph.D. at Columbia University in New York, USA. His Master's thesis in 1916 was titled “The Administration and Finance of the East India Company”. He submitted his Ph.D. thesis on “The Evolution of Provincial Finance in India: A Study in the Provincial Decentralization of Imperial Finance”.

After Columbia, Dr. Ambedkar moved to London, where he registered at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) to study economics, and enrolled in Grey’s Inn to study law. However, due to lack of funds, he had to return to India in 1917. In 1918, he became a Professor of Political Economy at Sydenham College, Mumbai (erstwhile Bombay). During this time, he submitted a statement to the Southborough Committee demanding universal adult franchise.

In 1920, with the financial assistance from Chatrapati Shahuji Maharaj of Kolhapur, a personal loan from a friend and his savings from his time in India, Dr. Ambedkar returned to London to complete his education. In 1922, he was called to the bar and became a barrister-at-law. He also completed his M.S.c. and D.S.c. from the LSE. His doctoral thesis was later published as “The Problem of the Rupee”.

After his return to India, Dr Ambedkar founded Bahishkrit Hitkarini Sabha (Society for Welfare of the Ostracized) and led social movements such as Mahad Satyagraha in 1927 to demand justice and equal access to public resources for the historically oppressed castes of the Indian society. In the same year, he entered the Bombay Legislative Council as a nominated member.

Subsequently, Dr. Ambedkar made his submissions before the Indian Statutory Commission also known as the ‘Simon Commission’ on constitutional reforms in 1928. The reports of the Simon Commission resulted in the three roundtable conferences between 1930-32, where Dr. Ambedkar was invited to make his submissions.

In 1935, Dr. Ambedkar was appointed as the Principal of Government Law College, Mumbai, where he was teaching as a Professor since 1928. Thereafter, he was appointed as the Labour Member (1942-46) in the Viceroy’s Executive Council.

In 1946, he was elected to the Constituent Assembly of India. On 15 August 1947, he took oath as the first Law Minister of independent India. Subsequently, he was elected Chairperson of the Drafting Committee of the Constituent Assembly, and steered the process of drafting of India’s Constitution. Mahavir Tyagi, a member of the Constituent Assembly, described Dr. Ambedkar as “the main artist” who “laid aside his brush and unveiled the picture for the public to see and comment upon”. Dr. Rajendra Prasad, who presided over the Constituent Assembly and later became the first President of the Indian Republic, said: “Sitting in the Chair and watching the proceedings from day to day, I have realised as nobody else could have, with what zeal and devotion the members of the Drafting Committee and especially its Chairman, Dr. Ambedkar in spite of his indifferent health, have worked. We could never make a decision which was or could be ever so right as when we put him on the Drafting Committee and made him its Chairman. He has not only justified his selection but has added luster to the work which he has done.”

After the first General Election in 1952, he became a member of the Rajya Sabha. He was also awarded an honorary doctorate degree from Columbia University in the same year. In 1953, he was also awarded another honorary doctorate from Osmania University, Hyderabad.

Dr. Ambedkar's health worsened in 1955 due to prolonged illness. He passed away in his sleep on 6 December 1956 in Delhi.

Why publication of b.r. ambedkar's thesis a century later will be significant, a contemporary relevance of the thesis, written as part of ambedkar's msc degree at the london school of economics, is that it argues for massive expenditure on heads like defence to be diverted to the social sector.

Listen to Story

Now, over a century after it was written, Ambedkar’s hitherto unpublished thesis on the provincial decentralisation of imperial finance in colonial times will finally see the light of the day. The Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Source Material Publication Committee of the Maharashtra government plans to publish the thesis that was written by Ambedkar as part of his MSc degree from the London School of Economics (LSE). The thesis, ‘Provincial Decentralisation of Imperial Finance in British India’, will be part of the 23rd volume of Ambedkar’s works to be published by the committee and will give a glimpse into the works of Ambedkar, the economist. Notably, the dissertation argues for expenditure on heads like defence to be diverted for social goods like education and public health.

The source material committee, which was set up in 1978, has published 22 volumes on Ambedkar’s writings since April 1979. “This volume will have two parts. One will contain the MSc thesis and the other will have communication and documents related to his MA, MSc, PhD and bar-at-law degrees,” confirmed Pradeep Aglave, member secretary of the committee. He added that the MSc thesis had been submitted to the LSE in 1921. Veteran Ambedkarite and founder of the Dalit Panthers, J.V. Pawar, who is a member of the committee, said it was significant that the thesis was being published over a century after it was written. Pawar played a pivotal role in ensuring that the committee was set up.

“This work deals with taxation and expenditure. The contemporary relevance of this thesis is that it seeks a progressive taxation based on income levels. Ambedkar argued that expenditure on heads like defence was huge and this needed to be diverted to social needs like education, public health, and water supply,” said Sukhadeo Thorat, economist and former chairman of the University Grants Commission (UGC). Thorat was among those instrumental in the source material committee getting a copy of the thesis from London.

“The sixth volume (1989), published by the source material committee, contains Ambedkar’s writings on economics. This includes his works like ‘Administration and Finance of the East India Company’ (1915) and the ‘Problem of the Rupee: Its Origin and Its Solution’ (1923). However, this MSc thesis on provincial finance could not be included in it because it was not available then,” said Thorat.

J. Krishnamurty, a Geneva-based labour economist located the MSc thesis in the Senate House Library in London and approached Thorat who, in turn, communicated with Gautam Chakravarti of the Ambedkar International Mission in London. Santosh Das, another Ambedkarite from London, paid the fees for permission to reproduce the work in copyright. The soft copy of the thesis was sent to the source material committee on November 18, 2021.

In addition to the MSc thesis, the communication and letters related to his academics, such as the MA, PhD, MSc and DSc and bar-at-law including LLD (an honorary degree that was awarded to Ambedkar by the Columbia University in 1952after he finished drafting the Constitution of India, which remains one of his most significant contributions to modern India), were also arranged and compiled by Krishnamurty, Thorat and Aglave. This also includes the courses done by Ambedkar for his MA and pre-PHD at the Columbia University. These details are being published for the first time.

Ambedkar’s biographer Changdev Bhavanrao Khairmode, writes how Ambedkar worked untiringly in London for his MSc. Ambedkar secured admission for his MSc in the LSE on September 30, 1920 by paying a fee of 11 pounds and 11 shillings. He was given a student pass with the number 11038.

Ambedkar had prepared for his MSc in Mumbai, yet he began studying books and reports from four libraries in London, namely the London University’s general library, Goldsmiths' Library of Economic Literature and the libraries in the British Museum and India Office. In London, Ambedkar would wake up at 6 am, have the breakfast served by his landlady and rush to the library for his studies. Around 1 pm, he would take a short break for a meagre lunch or have just a cup of tea and then return to the library to study till it closed for the day.

“He would sleep for a few hours. He would stand at the doors of the library before it opened and before others came there,” says Khairmode in the first volume of his magisterial work on Ambedkar (Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, Volume I) that was first published in 1952. The library staff in the British Museum would tell Ambedkar that they had not seen a student like him who was immersed in his books and they also doubted if they would get to see one like him in the future!

The volume also contains a letter written by Ambedkar in German on February 25, 1921 to the University of Bonn seeking admission. Ambedkar wanted to study Sanskrit language and German philosophy in the varsity’s department of Indology. In school, Ambedkar was discriminated against on grounds of caste and not allowed to learn Sanskrit. He had to learn Persian instead. Ambedkar secured admission to Bonn University but had to return to London three months later to revise and complete his DSc thesis.

Ambedkar completed his DSc in 1923 under the guidance of Professor Edwin Cannan of the LSE on the problem of the rupee, which is described as a “remarkable piece of research on Indian currency, and probably the first detailed empirical account of the currency and monetary policy during the period”.

Ambedkar was among the first from India to pursue doctoral studies in economics abroad. He specialised in finance and currency. His ‘The Evolution of Provincial Finance in British India: A Study in the Provincial Decentralisation of Imperial Finance (1925)’, carried a foreword by Edwin R.A. Seligman, Professor of Economics, Columbia University, New York. Ambedkar also played a pivotal role in the conceptualisation and establishment of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in 1935.

Ambedkar university delhi - review.

• One thing which I like most about our college is that the campus is built very differently. It gives us a sense of history through it’s walls and it’s corridors.
• There are various study clubs in our college which actually contribute so much to the social life of the students around the campus thus making college life actually interesting.
• One thing which is on the bad part is I think the presence of too much monkeys around the campus. It is so difficult to take any food to the classroom from the canteen.
• The campus is somewhat smaller as compared to other colleges.

Admission :

I got admission through CUET. One has to give the common entrance exam and apply on the universities' website for further process. After a few days, they release lists containing the names of selected students. This year the last date for registration is 31st july. As for reservation benefits, you need to have legitimate documents and then you can apply for the reservation application in which the cut off is much less than the non reservation candidates thus helping in the admission process.

Reality of AUD

• The fee waiver criteria is very helpful for many students
• The quality of education provided is appreciated
• No fests, even our seniors said from the past 3 years they haven't witnessed fest in oyr college
• Very small campus area, it has shared campus with igdtuw so because of that only we have a ground otherwise no personal ground in the kashmere gate campus

Admission criteria are strictly through the CUET entrance exam. 85% of seats are reserved for Delhi candidates and 15% for other states. So it's a tough spot to get in there for students from outside Delhi. But students living in Delhi, can easily get Admission. Also, reservation Benefits are also there which you can check in the official AUD portal.

Life in AUD Campus

• The Fee waiver policy provides financial relaxation to students.
• Student Welfare Fund ( SWF ) also provides financial help in accomodation and other academic requirements.
• Old building & bad infrastructure of campus
• Less extra curricular activities in campus

The admission process is done by CUET - UG & PG. after this student have to apply on University admission portal. Also 85% seats are reserved for NCT students. Reservation will be provided as per norms.

My Journey At Ambedkar University

• The faculty was very cooperative throughout the course.
• Our teachers encouraged group discussions and group projects.
• The courses structure could have been better.

The course was very inclusive and the cut-off was 80% so a lot of students can apply. The application process is very simple you just have to fill out a form and then wait for the cut-off lists. There are no entrance exams.

Ambedkar University Delhi- A social sciences University

• Faculty is good, supportive and well qualified.
• Teaching way is nice and assessment structure is many a times student friendly.
• Infrastructure condition is not good and should be improved
• High fees structure for general candidates is the major irritant

Entrance test through CUET. Mathematics is a must for Economics Hons. Unlike DU, even if you don't have maths at 12th level you can still apply for AUD's Economics program by opting for maths as a subject in the Entrance test.

College review

• Student organisation activeness, IGDTUW is near which make college life more better
• Canteen food is suitable for the one who is living far from his home
• Overall infrastructure of the college...
• Late procedure of everything in the office

My Addmission was through the cuet exam 2022. Eligibility for the course is cuet exam only. And the other eligibility can be easily fulfilled by anyone. Reservation benifits were the only reason i got admission to easily. My reservation was Obc.

AUD's INN & OUT

• Calm and soft nature of college enviornment.
• No ragging or miss behaviour is done with student.
• Infrastructure of the college is not acceptable.
• Low companies visits the college for placement opportunities and offer less salaries.

The admission process was very easy because it was fully online and I just had to visit the college once for document verification. There was no entrance examination and was fully based on the cut-off system, the list started from 98% for some courses and went to 88%. I don't think that there is a need to make any change in the current process as it's just awesome.

honest review

Eligibility for admission to AUD is not high compared to Delhi university. Students have to apply for their desired courses and there will be a minimum of 6 lists. students have to get at least 70% to get admission to the Bachelor of AUD.

Excellent AUD Campus

Here I am giving information about Ambedkar University Delhi Kashmiri gate campus where resources are limited but faculties are experienced. This campus has not crowded that's why each faculty gives individual attention to their students in MBA. On this campus, if a student's family income is less than 96000 annually then he gets a fee waiver. Here placement opportunities are very less.

डॉ. बी. आर. अम्बेडकर विश्‍वविद्यालय दिल्ली Dr. B. R. Ambedkar University Delhi Established by The Government of NCT of Delhi

PhD English

Any student with a postgraduate degree from a recognized university and a minimum of 55% (or as per Ambedkar university rules) can apply for admission.

Eligibility

The distinguishing feature of the Research programme offered by the English faculty of Ambedkar University Delhi (AUD) is that students shall be encouraged to pursue inter- or multidisciplinary research based on the assumption that concerns raised in literary texts often find resonances or analogies in other disciplines. The faculty shall make every effort to create an intellectual environment in which a researcher has the confidence and freedom to challenge canonically accepted critical positions and methodologies. The rationale behind any research undertaken in this programme shall be to understand how a literary or cultural text is profoundly influenced by art, politics, style, history, psychology, image-making, translations and technologies that define the spirit of the age in which literary production happens. Literary research in the contemporary world should, therefore, be inspired sometimes by present anxieties and discontents, sometimes by new areas of knowledge and visions of a different future; it should re-establish, for its own time and location, the truth or the enigma of any text; and, finally, it should claim its place in the same cultural and moral habitat in which other acts of reason and imagination take place

PO-1 Apart from the outcomes that are already listed, the English PhD programme seeks to train scholars in inter-disciplinary methodologies and engaged research

PO-2 It trains them in thorough understanding of the critical and theoretical paradigms related to their area of research

PO-3 It helps them develop an ability to read, question, and critically explore and formulate one's responses to all forms of cultural productions and the processes behind these productions.

Entrance Process

Eligibility: Any student with a postgraduate degree from a recognized university and a minimum of 55% (or as per Ambedkar university rules) can apply for admission. Entrance Examination: The written entrance examination shall evaluate a candidate’s research aptitude, capacity for critical thinking and the ability to write a coherent argument in English. A section of the entrance test will be based on the readings uploaded on the website.

Proposal: Candidates shortlisted on the basis of their performance in the entrance examination will be asked to submit a research proposal within a very short notice period after the admission test result is displayed on the website. They shall then appear for an interview which will be based primarily on their research proposal.

The Research proposal (2000-2500 words) should follow the following format:

1. Introduction: Research Area

2. Aims and Objectives

3. Research question 2

4. Existing Research in the area

5. Research Approach/Methodology

6. Bibliography A provisional admission to the PhD programme will be offered to candidates fulfilling the minimum requirements. The proposal will carry a weightage of 25%, the entrance examination 50% and the interview 25%.

Ben Sasse's costliest bet at UF still moving 'full steam' ahead | Commentary

Kurt Dudas is no household name in Jacksonville, but for months he has been one of the University of Florida's most important — and highest paid — field operators, building support among Northeast Florida powerbrokers for a $300 million graduate campus that is a linchpin of former president Ben Sasse's vision for the school's future. Some of the work Sasse undertook in his 17 months on the job remains a secret, but the Jacksonville campus was both a highly visible and expensive initiative that he and Mori Hosseini, an influential member of the UF board of trustees, announced last year on just his second day on the job.

Sasse's legacy took a significant hit this month when the Independent Florida Alligator detailed profligate spending out of the president's office during his tenure, including awarding high-paying remote-work jobs to his former Capitol Hill staffers and other Republican officials. But Sasse's most ambitious project — the Jacksonville campus — remains "moving forward at full steam," a university spokesman said.

At an estimated $300 million — a cost that has mushroomed at least 50 percent from initial projections — Jacksonville was Sasse's biggest bet.

In the fall, Sasse hired Dudas, a former wealth management and banking executive, on a $513,000 yearly salary and named him vice president of Jacksonville programs, a new role intended to support the graduate campus proposal. It's not clear if the two knew each other before Sasse arrived at UF, but they do share a common past: Dudas worked in the early 2000s as a business analyst at McKinsey & Company, a firm that received millions of dollars worth of work from UF while Sasse was president and to whom Sasse once served as a paid consultant.

Dudas' generous pay, which is among the highest Sasse green-lit during his presidency, came at a time when Sasse was also looking at imposing cuts. "Any $9 billion enterprise should always be finding ways to tighten its belt (and one of my more unpopular 2023 proposals was to consider consolidating some of our 200[!] academic units) ..." Sasse wrote on social media last week in defense of his tenure.

These two elements of Sasse's time at UF were always in tension: on the one hand, telegraphing a desire to cut departments and figure out how to oust underperforming professors, while on the other hand shelling out huge salaries to executive staffers and championing a massive expansion project in Jacksonville. Seeming to respond to criticism of the Jacksonville project, Sasse wrote last week, "This initiative was launched and run out of the president’s office — and no, planning for a new campus isn’t cheap."

The Jacksonville graduate campus is widely understood to be a pet project of Hosseini, the UF board member and powerful Northeast Florida homebuilder with ties to Gov. Ron DeSantis. At least high-level, conceptual details were already being hammered out between Hoseeini and former Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry's administration before Sasse had arrived at UF, but he immediately and enthusiastically embraced the project, making it a centerpiece of his plans for the future.

But since its public unveiling in early 2023, there has been a remarkably slapdash feel to the graduate campus.

Initially, for example, neither university leaders nor city officials could say what precisely the campus was supposed to be: its total cost, what classes and programs would be offered, how many students it would serve, where in downtown it would be located. Behind closed doors, even some boosters of the idea acknowledged that the lack of public details was a concern. Regardless, City Hall quickly committed $50 million to an idea city officials couldn't explain.

The bipartisan consensus within City Hall and among the city's higher-education leaders — particularly at the University of North Florida — has masked lingering private frustrations among supporters of the city's three existing universities and within the nonprofit community over the significant $50 million payment City Hall committed to the project. Few other worthy causes have nabbed such largesse from the city.

Sasse was still tweaking details about the graduate campus even as he sat before the Board of Governors earlier this year seeking their sign-off on the project, and he spoke in vague terms about how it fit into a coherent vision for the school's future. Calling his strategy the "tower and satellite model," Sasse said the Jacksonville campus was the first and most important of UF's expansion throughout the state and beyond. Whether that means UF would pursue building more and smaller such campuses in other locations wasn't clear.

Plans for the Jacksonville campus still seem to be a work in progress, though for now UF leaders envision the graduate campus offering programs concentrated in artificial intelligence and machine learning, medicine, manufacturing, and data analytics.

The cost of the campus was initially slated to be $200 million, with the remaining money coming from donors and the state. At some point, and with no public announcement, UF decided to up the cost to $300 million, requiring more intensive fundraising efforts, which people I've spoken with in Jacksonville told me seems to occupy much of Dudas' time while visiting here. It's not clear if the city will have to make any commitments in the future beyond the $50 million.

UF has yet to secure a sublease with JEA — the city-owned electric, water and sewer utility — for temporary space on the fifth floor in the agency's new building, the first phase of UF's plan. That puts the project at least a little behind schedule (a document UF provided to the Board of Governors indicated the school hoped to have signed a lease in July). And the school has yet to choose a permanent site for the planned graduate campus.

There has been a quiet lobbying effort by different developers hoping to steer the project to one of three sites under consideration in or near downtown Jacksonville. For now, the leading contender is likely a site owned by Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan on a parcel of land near the football stadium and just east of downtown. His organization has long pined for a government-funded building to bolster his development plans in the larger sports-and-entertainment district (he had once hoped to lure JEA to build a new headquarters on a different piece of land near the stadium).

A spokesperson said UF will make a selection in the fall and indicated interim president Kent Fuchs has faith in Sasse and Hosseini's grandiose, costly vision. "Working closely with the Board of Trustees and President, (vice president) Dudas has run point on the Jacksonville campus — planning, coordinating, and executing the university’s vision. This is an important investment, and the university is not slowing down."
