Compiling published papers into a thesis requires the university's specific format, often needing a connecting narrative and declaration of your contribution to each paper. But the real challenge comes when your guide departs, as you must formally request the department to appoint a new supervisor before submission. I know this because my own advisor left for another university last year, and my compilation sits waiting while the committee decides on a replacement. Sometimes, following UGC rules feels less about papers and more about navigating institutional 'abbulu'.
