Thank you so much for the kind suggestions.

I am going to meet the vice chancellor of the University tomorrow along with my guide. Hope he would permit me to submit. Fingers crossed!!

I am seriously considering the possibility with some other university as well in the worst case scenario.

Ian..could you please share any information about universities that offer the PhD via published works. I live in Scotland. So I can explore this opportunity.

Thanks again!!

Hi everyone,

I am seeking some help regarding my thesis submission.

I got registration for a full-time Ph.D. course in an Indian University. I have cleared my pre-ph.d exam and worked for 4.5 years continuously and finished the wet bench research and published two book chapters. But then I got married and had to go to United Kingdom to join my husband and could n't come back for almost 2 years for many reasons.

I am back in India now drafting my thesis and finished 70% of it but the administration says my Ph.D. registration has been cancelled. I will have my dissertation ready in a month but clueless as what to do regarding submission. I requested the administration that I will pay the fee of absence but no use.

I am considering the possibility of registering with another university but I will have to wait for 3 years for submitting my thesis after the date of registration in many Indian Universities.

Can anyone please shed some light on the situation!!

Thank you!!
