Hi, hope you are doing well!

Yes, you can pursue PHD. Eligibility Criteria for PhD varies for University to University. Some general points are given below:

  • Masters degree with higher than average percentage (differs from University to University). For some subjects, even MPhil is required.
  • Most of the reputable universities, a candidate must qualify the all India examination, like National Eligibility Test for Lectureship (NET) conducted by NTA.
  • There is also an interview followed by written exam if needed.

If you want further and specific information about a particular university. Please mention the name of the university in the comments.
