Hello!

One is not eligible for admission in PhD after BSc. The minimum academic qualification for admission to  Ph.D is MA or equivalent degree in the relevant subject awarded by a recognised university in India, with at least an average of 55% of aggregate marks. Candidates who have an M.Phil or equivalent degree awarded by a recognized university are also eligible to apply for the Ph.D Programme. Some universities prefer candidates with NET or JRF.

Hope this answers your query.

Hello,

Yes, you can pursue an Integrated Ph.D. after doing a BSc. There is a difference between a regular Ph.D. and Integrated Ph.D. If you want to do a regular Ph.D., the minimum qualification required for this course is an masters degree in your respective field. Without that, you can’t apply for it. The course duration is a minimum three years and maximum 5 years. While the candidates can apply for an Integrated Ph.D. right after completing their graduation and the duration of this course is 5 years.

You can also persue regular Ph.D. after M.A. well it is more time consuming than integrated Ph.D. . Integrated pH.D. is mainly for science, technology and engineering courses.

Some prestigious colleges and universities there in India where you can pursue your Ph.D. Below I am giving you some details about exams for regular Ph.D. courses:-

• CSIR NET Exam

• UGC-NET for JRF (the most popular one)

• TIFR (TATA Institute of Fundamental Research)

• DBT JRF Biotech Entrance Test

• ICMR Junior Research Fellowship

• JRF-GATE

There are many other universities where you can apply for a regular Ph.D. course. Different Universities have their criteria and entrance exams through which they select candidates for Ph.D. programs.

List of exams for Integrated PhD:-

• IIT Joint Admission Test

• ISSER Tirupati Integrated Ph.D. Admission Test

• IISC Bangalore Ph.D. Admission Test

• Indian Institute of Astrophysics M.Tech Ph.D. Admission Test

Hope this will help you !
