It is allowable that the both members or one of them are of the former professors or those who in their scientific level of specialists provided that at least one from outside the faculty. Judging panel formation is approved of the Vice President for Graduate Studies and Research.
3. Discussion can be accomplished in the presence of a representative of the Supervisory Committee in the jury if other supervisors can not attend.
4. If the thesis did not discussed within the three months from the date of university approval to form the jury, committee approval is repeated with the same members again and in case of that the committee did not set committee formation is changed with another committee.
