Islamabad: A Pakistani
national has startled his peers and countrymen by completing two
PhDs in just four years.
Kashif Mehmood has done his PhDs in
Business Administration and Computer Science from two leading
universities in France.
Higher Education Commission (HEC) scholar Kashif Mehmood has made
the nation proud by successfully completing two PhD degrees from
France within a period of four years, APP reported Monday.
He was awarded HEC scholarship under Overseas Scholarship Scheme
for PhD in Selected Fields (Phase-1) in 2004. Based on his
education and experience, he secured admission in MS programme at
the University Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC), ranked among the best
universities in the world.
During his research internship, Kashif impressed his supervisor
with his technical, analytical and managerial skills for which he
was offered a PhD thesis in Computer Science.
After starting PhD in Computer Science, Kashif applied for an
MPhil (Business Administration) in a leading French business
school, ESSEC Business School. Getting into ESSEC was a difficult
task and securing full fees waiver (worth 10,000 Euros/Year) was
almost impossible.
But Kashif secured an admission along with a full fees waiver for
the first year (renewable each year). He completed his MPhil
(Business Administration) within two years along with working on
his Computer Science thesis. After MPhil, he was offered to
continue studying for PhD in Business Administration from ESSEC.
Kashif defended both PhDs before a jury consisting of eight senior
and eminent professors and researchers. Kashif received
exceptionally good reviews for his dissertation.
