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:
- Visit the official Shodhganga website: https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/
- Use the search bar to look for a specific thesis by title, author, or keyword.
- From the search results, click on the title of the thesis you're interested in. This will take you to its detailed record page.
- 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".
- 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.
