Comprehensive Support Plan (CSP)

PhD Research Mentoring

Accelerate Your PhD Journey with the Comprehensive Support Plan

Expert Mentoring. Structured Guidance. Timely Completion.

At Chanakya Research, we understand that a PhD is a marathon, not a sprint. However, that doesn't mean you should struggle without direction, second-guess every chapter, or lose years to avoidable roadblocks.

Our Comprehensive Support Plan (CSP) is specifically designed for research scholars who want to replace confusion with clarity, isolation with expert mentorship, and delays with firm deadlines. Whether you are stuck at the chapter layout phase, need critical peer review, or want to anticipate your viva voce questions months in advance — our seasoned research consultants have guided hundreds of scholars to successful thesis submissions.

Who Is CSP Right For?

The plan is built for research scholars who are ready to take control of their PhD journey — wherever they are right now.

Feeling Stuck or Directionless

PhD scholars who feel stuck or directionless midway through their research and need structured guidance to move forward confidently.

Racing a Deadline

Scholars aiming to submit within a specific timeframe — before a funding or fellowship deadline, or university submission limit.

Need Unbiased Peer Feedback

Those who want professional, unbiased peer feedback beyond what their primary supervisor provides — before the final draft is shown.

Preparing for Viva Defence

Researchers who want to prepare thoroughly for their viva defence and anticipate examiner questions with complete confidence.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before enrolling — from eligibility and services to payments and ethics.

Eligibility

I am a first-year PhD scholar with only a topic. Can I enroll in CSP Elite?

Absolutely. CSP Elite is ideal for early-stage scholars. We help you develop chapter layouts before you start writing, identify literature gaps, and choose appropriate methodologies. Starting early prevents costly rewrites later.
Eligibility

I am in my 3rd or 4th year and stuck. Which plan should I choose?

If you already have 2–3 chapters drafted and just need reviews and direction to finish, CSP Essential (6 months) is usually sufficient. If you need methodology help, literature gap analysis, and journal article support in addition, choose CSP Elite — you can also start with Essential and upgrade later.
Eligibility

Can I enroll if my university guide/supervisor is not supportive or unresponsive?

Yes. Many scholars join us because their primary supervisor is too busy, provides vague feedback, or is on sabbatical. Our CSP acts as a supplementary mentoring system. Please note that we do not replace your official supervisor; we complement their role.
Eligibility

Do I need my supervisor's permission to join CSP?

Not technically. However, we recommend being transparent. Most supervisors appreciate that you are seeking additional structured support. We can share a generic "mentorship agreement" with your supervisor if needed.
Eligibility

Is there any eligibility criteria (minimum marks, university ranking, etc.)?

None. Any enrolled PhD scholar (any university, any discipline) can join. We work across humanities, social sciences, sciences, engineering, and management.
Services

What exactly does "peer review of written work" include?

When you submit a chapter (Word/PDF), our experts provide a structured review report containing:
  • Summary assessment (1 paragraph)
  • Major concerns (e.g., weak hypothesis, missing variables, contradictory arguments)
  • Minor concerns (e.g., grammar, flow, citation errors)
  • Specific line-by-line comments (using track changes or numbered comments)
  • Suggested rewrites for 2–3 problematic paragraphs
  • Checklist of what to fix before resubmission
Services

How long does a peer review take?

For CSP Essential: 7–10 working days. For CSP Elite: 5–7 working days. Expedited review (2–3 days) is available at an extra charge.
Services

How many chapters can I submit for review?

In CSP Essential, you can submit each core chapter once (typically 6 submissions total). In CSP Elite, you can submit each chapter twice (first draft + revised draft). Additional submissions beyond this are charged separately.
Services

Do you review data analysis (SPSS output, regression tables, etc.)?

Yes, for methodology deep-dive sessions (CSP Elite only) or as an add-on service. We check whether your analysis matches your research questions, whether assumptions are met, and whether interpretations are accurate. We do not run the analysis for you.
Services

What is the "thesis chapter layout"? Can you give an example?

The layout is a 2–4 page blueprint per chapter. Example for a Literature Review chapter:
  • Heading 1: Theoretical Framework (sub-headings: Definition, Key Proponents, Criticisms)
  • Heading 2: Review of Empirical Studies (pre-2010, 2010–2020, post-2020 trends)
  • Heading 3: Identification of Research Gap (Context Gap, Methodology Gap)
  • Heading 4: How Our Study Fills the Gap
  • Each heading includes 2–3 sentences on what to cover and 12–15 key references with full citations
Services

Do you provide the probable viva questions in advance or only at the end?

We provide them chapter by chapter as you complete each one, plus a consolidated set at the end. This allows you to prepare gradually rather than cramming before the defence.
Services

For CSP Elite, what does the "mock viva session" look like?

In a live 40-minute video/audio call, one of our consultants acts as an examiner and asks you 10–12 questions covering:
  • Why did you choose this topic?
  • What is the original contribution?
  • Why this methodology and not another?
  • How did you address limitations?
  • What were the unexpected findings?
  • Plus 5–6 chapter-specific questions
After the session you receive a written report of your performance and suggested improvements.
Payment

How do the instalment payments work?

CSP Essential: ₹22,305 at start + ₹22,305 at end of Month 3.

CSP Elite: ₹20,812.50 at start, then at Month 4, Month 8, and Month 12.

All payments are processed through secure payment gateways (credit/debit card, UPI, net banking, or bank transfer). A receipt and agreement are provided after each payment.
Payment

What is your refund or cancellation policy?

Within 3 days of enrollment (no service availed): 90% refund.
After first call or first peer review delivered: no refund for that month's portion, but remaining months can be refunded on a prorated basis.
After 50% of calls used: no refunds.
Full policy is provided in the signed agreement before payment.
Payment

Can I transfer my plan to another scholar if I drop out of my PhD?

Yes, with a small transfer fee of ₹4,000. The remaining balance of calls and reviews can be transferred to another enrolled scholar at the same university.
Payment

What if I finish my thesis before my plan ends?

Congratulations! You can either:
  • Convert the remaining calls into journal article support (2 remaining calls = 1 journal review session)
  • Gift the remaining calls to a colleague (subject to availability)
  • Request a prorated refund for unused calls (minus 20% administrative fee)
Payment

Can I buy extra calls or reviews beyond my plan?

Yes. Extra 40-minute calls: ₹3,500 each. Extra peer review (per chapter): ₹5,000. Expedited review (2–3 days): ₹7,500. Group discount: 10% off for 3 or more scholars enrolling together from the same lab or department.
Payment

Can I start with CSP Essential and upgrade to CSP Elite later?

Yes. You can upgrade at any time by paying the prorated difference. Example: if you have completed 3 months of Essential (₹22,305 worth of value), you pay ₹83,250 – ₹22,305 = ₹60,945, and your 18-month clock starts from the upgrade date.
Payment

What if I miss a scheduled call?

You must notify us at least 24 hours in advance to reschedule without penalty. If you miss a call without notice, the call is considered used. Exceptional circumstances (medical emergency, etc.) are handled on a case-by-case basis.
Ethics

Is this doing my thesis for me?

Absolutely not. We are strictly a mentoring and guidance service. We do not write any part of your thesis, analyse your data, or edit more than 10% of any sentence. Our role is to teach, review, and suggest. You remain the sole author. Many universities allow scholars to seek external mentoring, peer review, and statistical advice.
Ethics

Do you sign confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements?

Yes. We sign a standard confidentiality agreement upon request. Your thesis topic, data, drafts, and discussions are never shared with third parties or used for our own publications.
Ethics

What disciplines do you cover? Do you have experts in my field?

We cover:
  • Social Sciences & Humanities: Sociology, Psychology, Education, Political Science, History, Economics, English Literature, Philosophy.
  • Commerce & Management: Finance, Marketing, HR, Organizational Behaviour, Operations.
  • Sciences: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Environmental Science, Biotechnology (excluding very niche subfields — ask us).
  • Engineering: Computer Science, Electronics, Mechanical, Civil (basic to intermediate level).
If your field is highly specialised, please email us your topic first for a free feasibility check.
General

What language is the support offered in?

English (primary) and Hindi (for verbal calls only — written reviews and layouts are in English).
General

Do you guarantee thesis approval or university submission?

No. No ethical service can guarantee approval because that depends on your university, supervisor, and examiner. However, we guarantee that we will provide 100% honest, high-quality guidance. Scholars who follow our advice consistently have a significantly higher chance of timely submission.
General

How do I enroll?

Click the Enroll Now button, fill out a short form (name, university, topic, preferred plan), and we will send you an agreement and payment link within 24 hours. You can also request a free 15-minute discovery call to clarify any doubts before enrolling.
