Typically, you only need a minimum of 55% marks (or equivalent CGPA) in your Master's degree to be eligible for a PhD program.

Your marks in 10th and 12th standard are generally not considered for PhD eligibility.

However, it's essential to check the specific eligibility criteria of the university or institution you're applying to, as there might be slight variations in requirements.

Additionally, while not mandatory, a strong academic record throughout your education can positively impact your PhD application.

Remember, meeting the minimum eligibility criteria is just the first step. Admission to a PhD program often involves a rigorous selection process, including entrance exams, interviews, and research proposals.

Hello aspirant,

For PhD, a college asks for 55% in Master's only. They don't necessarily look into your 12th and 10th marks card. However, they do take a look into your BA marks and how well you performed. That's not a criterion but it helps them understand your knowledge level and research IQ. MA percentage is just a qualifying criterion, you have to go through a rigorous panel of interviews in order to get admitted into a good college for PhD.

Hello there,

To get enrolled in PhD, one should score equivalent or more than 55% in their Master's CGPA. Your 10th and 12th marks won't be taken into light at all.

Admissions in PhD varies universities to universities. Like UGC NET, GATE, JEST,CSIR, GPAT etc. One of the most popular entrance for PhD is UGC NET.  Scoring maximum of 55% is the criteria for PhD admission and also for appearing in the UGC-NET exam.

Hope this will help you!
