You can also try to apply in foreign countries for PhD courses in this field. They have more options and scope to learn and make a career in this field.

I hope this helps you.

No, In general, you can't take admission directly as a second year student. You have to take a fresh admission as a first year student and complete it to be eligible to study as a second year.

The one year which you have wasted (or might have learned something new) will be considered as the gap year and not as the first year of the proceeding course.

If you are specific about any particular college, then you may personally request them about it but there is no such rule.

Hope it helps.
