- An RPg student who is registered for the degree of PhD may transfer to the MPhil status by notifying his/her Department in writing. Alternatively, a PhD student who is not making satisfactory progress towards the PhD degree may be transferred to MPhil status by the Department at any time.
- The transfer of registration from PhD to MPhil, no matter it is initiated by the PhD student or the Department, once approved by the DoRPgS, will be effective from the next semester (for those admitted from the 2017/18 cohort onwards) or on the date of approval (for those admitted in or before the 2016/17 cohort).
- The D/SRC Secretary should send the applications to AR and GS for updating of records before the effective date of the transfer.
