Mumbai University to Award 577 PhDs
Mumbai University is going to give out 577 PhD degrees on January 17.
This is a big increase from last year's 401 degrees and even more than before the Covid-19 pandemic.
The number of PhDs has been going up slowly since then, but this is the first time it has gone over 500.
It's great news because it shows that things are getting back to normal after the pandemic.
Mumbai University will award 577 PhD degrees at its annual convocation on January 17.
This is a 44% increase from the 401 PhDs awarded last year.
The number of PhDs awarded has been gradually increasing since the Covid-19 pandemic.
This is the first time the number has crossed 500 PhDs since the pandemic.
The increase is significantly higher than pre-pandemic years.
