PhD Viva

6 years ago in Dissertation/Thesis By Rashi Garg

Dissertation

I flunked my PhD Viva, Yes!! It’s true but not because there was some fault in my PhD research or my research paper was weak but because of my nervousness and anxiety, I was not able to defend my research paper and that’s why flunked it. Even my mentor was so confident about my paper because it was unique and the topic was very innovative.
Now, I have another chance to prove myself and my research, but I am afraid. I don’t want what happened earlier happens again. So, please give me some tips so that I can manage passing it without any further issues.

Keep these points in mind whenever you go for viva next time: 1. Read your research inside out. 2. Take some mock sessions on the viva. 3. It seems as if your supervisor is supporting you so take some help from your supervisor only. 4. Practice and practice, prepare yourself so well that you don’t get flustered.
