I already finished B.A 3 years and M.A 2 years. But my doubt is even i finished 2 degrees, is i must be study phd for 6 years
Hello,
Congratulations on completing your B.A. and M.A. degrees. The duration of a PhD program can vary depending on the institution, research field, and individual progress. Typically, a PhD program in India takes around 3-5 years to complete, not 6 years. With your existing academic background, you can pursue a PhD directly after your M.A. degree. You may not need to study for 6 years, but rather, focus on completing your PhD research and thesis within the standard 3-5 year timeframe.

Hello Shahira,
No, you do not necessarily have to study for 6 years to complete a PhD after finishing your BA and MA. The duration of a PhD program varies based on several factors, such as the field of study, the nature of the research, and the institution's requirements. Typically, a PhD in most disciplines takes around 3 to 5 years to complete after a master's degree.
Here’s a breakdown:
-
Coursework
(if required): This phase typically takes 1–2 semesters in many Indian universities but may not be required everywhere.
- Research and Thesis Writing : The majority of the time (2–4 years) is spent conducting research and writing your thesis.
In some cases, delays in completing research or administrative processes can extend the duration. However, if you manage your research effectively and meet milestones, it is unlikely to take 6 full years.
