UGC-CARE & It's Impact on Students | Need of Research Culture


        

In this video, UGC Care List & its impact on Students pursuing Master Degrees is discussed. Since, UGC released list of Journals, there is so much confusion and fear among students to publish their research work while pursuing Master Degree mainly M.Tech. Students are facing issues in selecting the Journal & it has become a challenge for them to get their paper published in reputed journals mentioned in UGC Care list within the time period of their course. They are looking for people who can publish their paper & paying the huge amount. 

So, the question arises - What will be the use of UGC Care List if it results into zero research work by students ? 

No Doubt - It will bring genuine Research Work done by the students but whether time frame is sufficient ? 

Generally, thesis work starts in 2nd year, when students look for various topics on which they have to work. First, they work on Synopsis in 3rd semester & actual work starts in 4th semester itself, which we generally say 6 months but it is 3-4 months only. Now we expect, in these 3 months, projects need to be completed along with documentation and then Publication too. Reputed Journals took atleast 3 months to review the paper & pass on reviewer's comments. Again the same question, whether students are having enough time to get the publication in Journal taking 3 months to review. 

Another question is whether students will be able to produce original research matchable to quality of Journals. Being such a huge gap - created much panic among students. 

Let's talk about Solution - which is totally my personal views. Students in their B.Tech Level work on project in last semester, few go to Industry exposure, still they have to work on Documentation Part. If we motivate them to work on atleast 1 Paper to make them understand terminologies (like Abstract, Keyword, Literature Review, References, Plagiarism, etc.) and various reputed Publishers which will save their time in M.Tech. Students who are clear that they are not going to pursue Higher Degree like M.Tech, they can work on their Communication Skills or any other area of Interest. 

In a nutshell, we have to incorporate the idea of Research in their Graduation Level to save their time in Higher Degree because already they have very very less time to get their Project Work Done. 

Looking forward to have your suggestions in comment box. Many Thanks!
