Viva corrections help is for the stretch after your viva voce, when the examiners' report lands and the clock on minor or major corrections starts. We work through every comment from each examiner, make the change in your thesis, and log it in the correction table your faculty asks for โ what changed, and the exact page where it now sits. This is a different job from pre-submission supervisor comment fixing: the reader now is an examiner checking whether each point was answered, not a penyelia still shaping the draft.

The viva itself went fine. The report afterwards is the hard part.
The external wants the framework cut back; the internal wants it expanded. Both comments sit in the same report and both need a reply. Quietly picking one reads as ignoring the other, so the table has to show the change made and why the second request was handled differently.
'Strengthen the discussion', with no section reference. Examiners write quickly around the viva, and many points arrive as a single line. Each one has to be pinned to a location in the thesis before anyone can show it was fixed โ otherwise the verifier has nothing to tick.
Major corrections often touch method or analysis, not wording. A request to rerun a test, justify the sample size or properly test a moderator means reopening SPSS or SmartPLS output months after you closed it, then rewriting Chapters 4 and 5 so they agree with the new numbers.
The period allowed is set at the viva and starts running straight away, usually while you are back at full-time work. Minor corrections at some universities carry a one-month window. Losing the first two weeks to deciding where to start is common, and it is expensive.
Faculties want each correction listed against what was changed and where. Students often return a thesis with changes made but no record of them, or a table that says 'amended' forty times. Verifiers send those back, and the round starts again.
Examiners may comment in English on a thesis written in Bahasa Melayu, or mix both. The pembetulan has to be made in the thesis language while the table answers in terms the examiner will recognise, without the translation shifting what was asked.
Report sitting unopened in your inbox? Send it as it is โ we sort the comments by examiner and size before you lose another day.
Get Free Triage โFrom the first read of the report to a thesis your verifier can check line by line.
We split the examiners' report into single numbered actions, grouped by examiner and chapter. Vague comments are matched to the passage they most likely target, and anything genuinely ambiguous is flagged for you to confirm with your supervisor before any work starts.
Changes go into your thesis file itself, with tracked changes so your supervisor can see exactly what moved. Wording fixes, added citations, rewritten sections, restructured chapters โ each tied back to its numbered comment in the report.
We complete the format your university uses: the required correction, what was done, and where it now sits by chapter and page. Where your faculty issues its own form, we fill that form rather than inventing a layout of our own.
When an examiner asks for an extra test, a different treatment of outliers or a justified sample, we rerun the analysis on your data, update the tables and carry the change through findings and discussion so the chapters agree.
Where two examiners pull in opposite directions, we draft the change that meets the firmer requirement and a short, polite justification for the other โ wording your supervisor can forward to the committee if it is needed.
Requests for recent or stronger support are answered with real, peer-reviewed sources you can open. Each new reference is checked against the reference list and the citation style already in the thesis, APA 7th, Vancouver or otherwise.
Corrections ripple outwards. A new title from the viva, changed headings or added tables mean the abstract, abstrak, contents, lists of tables and page numbers all have to match the corrected text before it goes in.
If the verdict calls for re-examination, we prepare you for the second sitting: likely questions drawn from the first report, and short answers that point to the exact changes you made and why you made them.
Not sure whether your corrections are minor or major in practice?The report usually tells us. Where corrections reach the core argument of a doctoral thesis, our PhD thesis help team works alongside the correction round.
Check My Report โPlanned backwards from the deadline set at your viva.

Plan My Corrections โWhat the forms ask for, who verifies, and what the verdicts mean โ taken from the universities' own documents.
Universiti Malaya's Dissertation/Thesis Correction Report asks you to list all corrections recommended by the Committee of Examiners, grouped under External Examiner 1, External Examiner 2, Internal Examiner and the Committee. Each row gives section, page and comment, then your change, with columns for supervisor and internal examiner confirmation.
UTM's School of Graduate Studies asks for a checklist of the required corrections, the amendments made, and where each amendment sits in the corrected thesis. Your supervisor signs it, and the corrected and original theses go to SPS โ not straight to the examiners.
In UTM's guidelines for examiners, minor corrections โ typographic or factual errors โ are validated by the supervisor within one month. Amendments to methodology, analysis, discussion or structure are validated by the examiners, within three months for a Master's and six for a PhD.
Minor corrections usually go back through your supervisor; larger amendments go to the examiners who raised them. On UM's form, internal examiner confirmation applies where the Committee of Examiners requires it. Knowing who verifies changes how much reasoning each line of the table needs.
UTM lists a separate outcome where the degree is not yet awarded but a revised thesis may be resubmitted after further work โ once only, within six months for a Master's and twelve for a PhD. UM's form lists re-examination as its own recommendation, apart from major corrections.
UTM's guideline says the corrected thesis must carry the title decided at the viva, as reported by the chairperson. A new title changes the cover, declarations, abstract and abstrak, which is why the preliminaries belong inside the correction round, not after it.

You have the examiners' report and a date, but have not started. We triage it free: every comment numbered, sized and assigned to a chapter, plus a straight read of whether the work matches the verdict's label. Plenty of 'minor' reports hide one item that needs real analysis.
Typographic and factual fixes, missing citations, clarified definitions, reformatted tables and a tidied reference list. Mostly wording and consistency, but the table has to be exact because a supervisor ticks it line by line. Usually the quickest round to close.
Method justified or changed, analysis rerun, findings rewritten, chapters restructured. Examiners rather than only your supervisor check this work, so the table carries reasoning, not just 'amended'. Priced after triage, because scope varies most at this level.
The thesis goes back for a second assessment. That usually means new data handling, a rebuilt literature base or a reframed contribution, then another sitting. We scope it chapter by chapter and prepare you for the re-viva with a mock panel.
When examiner comments go back to the research design itself โ the sampling, the instrument, the framework โ the fix is bigger than a table. Our Master's thesis help writers see the whole dissertation, so a change in Chapter 3 is carried through every chapter that depends on it.
Added pages shift every number in the contents, lists of figures and appendices. Once the corrections are agreed we run a final pass to your faculty's manual through our thesis formatting service, so the corrected copy is not returned for margins or pagination.

Work with Devan โA correction round is judged by whoever signs it. We write for that person.
The table is drafted for the person who signs it. A supervisor checking minor corrections wants page numbers and nothing extra; an examiner checking major ones wants to see the reasoning. We write to whichever verifier your verdict names.
Every line in the table points to a chapter and page where the change can be seen. If a comment was answered by explanation rather than an edit, the table says so plainly and gives the reason, instead of hiding it.
Major corrections that touch the analysis go to writers who work in SPSS, SmartPLS or NVivo every week, not to an editor guessing at numbers. Tables, text and appendices are updated together so nothing contradicts.
Pembetulan tesis selepas viva in Bahasa Melayu is done by BM-fluent writers, with the table in whichever language your faculty expects. Istilah stays consistent with the rest of the thesis, so the corrected sections do not read as foreign.
Every change comes with a short note on why it was made, so you can answer your supervisor, an examiner or a re-viva panel in your own words rather than reading from a script.
We never contact your supervisor, examiners or faculty. Everything goes through you, and the submission to SPS or IPS stays yours to make, on your timeline.
R.A. passed the viva for a Master's thesis written in Bahasa Melayu on whether social support moderated the link between workload and safety performance among rail workers. The verdict was major corrections, with comments in English from two examiners. The external examiner questioned how the moderation had been tested and wanted the interaction effect shown properly, not inferred from separate correlations. The internal examiner wanted the literature review tightened and recent Malaysian studies added. Several comments had no page reference at all. R.A. was back in a full-time job, had not opened the SPSS file since submission, and had spent the first weeks of the correction window rereading the report without starting. The faculty's form asked for each comment, the change made and its location.
We split the report into numbered actions by examiner and chapter, and flagged the ambiguous ones for R.A. to confirm with the supervisor. The moderation was rerun as a proper interaction test on R.A.'s own data, and the new table and interpretation were carried through Bab 4 and Bab 5. Recent Malaysian sources were added to Bab 2, each one checked. The form was completed in English against the BM thesis, every row pointing to a chapter and page.
R.A. took the table to the supervisor, who passed it to the examiners for verification. The corrected thesis went to the graduate school inside the window set at the viva, and R.A. could explain each change in their own words at the follow-up meeting.

Get a Realistic Plan โA PhD candidate whose examiners asked for stronger support in the introduction, literature review and discussion, with several comments simply reading 'needs citation' beside claims.
Each flagged claim was matched to a current peer-reviewed source or softened where no evidence existed, and the discussion was rewritten to compare findings against those sources directly.
Every 'needs citation' line ended with a real reference and a page.
A Master's candidate whose external examiner wanted two constructs dropped while the internal asked for them to be better justified โ both requests in the same report.
Kept the constructs with fuller theoretical grounding, added a short sensitivity check, and drafted a reasoned reply to the external's point for the supervisor to forward.
Both examiners saw their comment taken seriously, with reasons on record.
A candidate whose viva panel changed the thesis title and asked for the abstrak to reflect the narrower scope, plus formatting fixes throughout the thesis.
Updated the title on every preliminary page, rewrote the abstract and abstrak to match, regenerated contents and lists, and fixed pagination after the added pages.
The corrected copy carried the viva-approved title on every page.

These are starting prices, fixed after triage; a major round that needs fresh data collection is quoted on its own. The minor round sits in line with the post-viva rates on our Universiti Malaya thesis page and UTM thesis page. We do not promise that examiners will accept the corrections โ the verifier decides โ but every comment will be answered and located, and an AI detector or Turnitin report is not something we can control.
Triage of the examiners' report is free. A correction table for edits you have already made is RM 280, a reasoned reply where examiners disagree is RM 390, and a full minor corrections round with the table starts at RM 640. Re-viva preparation is RM 790, a major corrections round starts at RM 1,180, and resubmission for re-examination starts at RM 1,900. The fixed price comes after triage.
Yes. Send the examiners' report and the thesis as examined. We number every comment, make the changes in your file with tracked edits, and complete the correction report or table your faculty uses. If any comment needs reanalysis of your data, we tell you at triage so the timeline and price reflect it from the start.
Wording differs by university, so read your own report first. In UTM's guidelines for examiners, minor corrections are typographic or factual errors validated by the supervisor, while larger amendments to methodology, analysis, discussion or structure are validated by the examiners. In practice, major usually means some chapters are rewritten or results rerun, not just polished.
The period is set at your viva and stated in the report, so check that first. As one example, UTM's guidelines for examiners give one month for minor corrections, and three months for a Master's or six for a PhD where examiners validate amendments. UTM also states the degree is not awarded if corrections miss the set period.
Do not quietly pick one. We draft the change that meets the firmer requirement and a short, respectful justification for how the other comment was handled, so both appear answered in the table. Your supervisor should see that reasoning before it goes to the examiners, and can raise it with the committee if needed.
Yes, and this is one of the most common requests in a correction round. Each flagged claim is matched to a real, recent peer-reviewed source you can open, or the claim is softened where the evidence is not there. New references are added in the thesis's existing style, whether APA 7th, Vancouver or Gaya UKM.
Ya. BM theses are corrected by BM-fluent writers, using the istilah already established in your chapters. When examiners comment in English on a BM thesis, the changes are made in BM and the correction table is written in the language your faculty expects, so nothing is lost between the two.
Yes. Universiti Malaya's form groups comments by External Examiner 1, External Examiner 2, Internal Examiner and the Committee, with section, page and comment for each, then your correction and space for supervisor and internal examiner confirmation. We complete it row by row from the report. Other universities' forms are handled the same way.
No. We work only with you. You review the corrections and the table, take them to your supervisor or the verifying examiner, and make the submission to SPS or IPS yourself. If a verifier queries a line, send us the query and we revise that line.
Yes. Send the report, your partly corrected thesis and whatever table you have started. We check what is done against each comment, finish the remainder, and rebuild the table so every row has a location. If something you changed does not quite answer the comment, we point it out rather than leave it.
Yes. We build a mock panel from the first examiners' report: the questions they are likely to return to, and short answers that point to what changed in the revised thesis. Preparation is RM 790. If the revised thesis itself needs work first, that is scoped as a resubmission.
No. SV comment fixing is for feedback from your supervisor before the thesis is submitted for examination. Viva corrections happen after examination, are judged by the examiners or a verifier, and need a formal correction table. If your comments are still from your penyelia before submission, use the supervisor comment service instead.
Corrections can raise similarity when new text borrows heavily from sources. We write added material in our own words with proper citations, and we can check a Turnitin report you share. We do not promise a particular percentage, and AI detectors can misfire on human writing, so we will not claim any score is guaranteed.
