The formal sequence at our university is thesis submission, then the synopsis seminar, followed by examiners' reports and the open defence. But here, after submission, you wait months just for the external examiner to be appointed—my friend's thesis sat with the Head of Department for six weeks. For me, the delay feels like waiting for the monsoon when the tanker is empty; you plan your life around a schedule that isn't your own. The only fixed step is the nervous chai you drink outside the viva room.
