I am interested in pursuing a doctorate in Human Resource Management (HRM). I am currently working as a management consultant. My work experience is less than 6 months. I have completed my MBA from VTU Belgaum. I would like to know the procedure for applying for a doctorate, more specifically, if I am eligible at all. Thank you in advance.

You can apply for doctoral studies with your MBA background. As per the present rules, some universities specify a minimum of 55% in PG for qualifying. You also need to attend a qualifying test conducted through UGC called NET. Upon passing the same, you may apply for the PhD enrollment. In private universities, however, this may not be a rule, but the fee structure would be very high.

The above is for full-time research where you need to work in the university. Also, you can enroll in a distance doctorate program through Karnataka Open University/Anna University of TN subject to some basic qualifying processes. Alternatively, you may do it with IGNOU as well.

You are absolutely eligible for a Ph.D. in management. There are two options: you can pursue it through distance mode or as a regular student. If you opt to be a regular student, then you should not be working full-time. Prestigious institutes like IIMs have entrance exams like CAT, offering fellowships in management. Most universities also have their own entrance exams. You will need to submit a synopsis on your desired topic. For more information, you can search for Ph.D. in management on Google.

Thank you.

Thanks a lot. I was facing a similar problem. Now my ambiguities are clearer to a certain extent. But tell me one thing, how to decide the synopsis topic? Do we need any guide for that or do we decide our guide afterwards?

HR as a Vast Subject

HR is a very vast subject. Further, what is the acceptable number of words for the synopsis?

Synopsis topic is the same on which you want to do your research. This could be any topic you prefer. A guide is mandatory for a Ph.D. even to submit the synopsis. The synopsis can be around 2000-3000 words, though there is no rigid word limit. A lot is available on the internet from topic ideas to how to proceed.
