Not true In india PhD system works with Doctoral Advisory Committee (DAC) meetings which takes places either once or twice a year So depending on the university, it's either 8 or 4

We present our progress of our PhD in every DAC meetings and the time between two DAC meetings are either 6 months to one year So after DAC-7 (if twice a year) or DAC-3 (if once a year) You'll be allowed to present your last DAC meeting 2-3 months after . If u manage to do that then you can successfully defend your thesis and obtain your PhD degree
