Is an entrance exam necessary for Ba Hons Philosophy student to get admission in MA philosophy ? Can somebody get direct admission in MA psychology on basis of merit only ?

This is dependent on the University you are trying to get admission. For example, in most of the Affiliating university, there are some percentage of seats reserved in MA for the admission of the affiliated college students through the Merit & the remaining seats are filled on the basis of Entrance examination. So if you are trying to take admission in any other university, then you will need to appear for the entrance test. Also some university gives the education qualification to be BA/BSc Psychology as an eligibility for the MA Psychology. So I would recommend you to visit the official website of the university and check the details or you can repost the question with the name of the university so that we can provide you the admission guidelines.
