I just went through this process last week for my research. It's pretty straightforward, but one tip I have is to make sure you're on the official shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in site and not a copycat. Once you find the thesis you want, the download button is usually very clear. However, I've found that sometimes the site can be a bit slow, so be patient. Also, not every single PhD thesis from every Indian university is on there yet, but the collection is constantly growing. It's a fantastic initiative and has saved me so much time!

Shodhganga is an amazing resource! Here's how you can download theses:

  1. Visit the official Shodhganga website: https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/
  2. Use the search bar to look for a specific thesis by title, author, or keyword.
  3. From the search results, click on the title of the thesis you're interested in. This will take you to its detailed record page.
  4. On this page, look for a section called "Full Text" or similar. There should be a link that says something like "PDF" or "View/Download".
  5. Clicking that link should open the PDF in your browser, from where you can use the browser's download function (usually right-click -> "Save as...").

Note: Some theses might have restricted access or require you to be on an institutional network. But most are freely available for download.
