The basic criteria for a Ph.D. is a first-class in a master's degree and passing the entrance examination (PAT). An MPhil is not compulsory for that.

Hello Dear,

As Mr. Deshmukh has provided details about the eligibility criteria for a Ph.D. from UGC recognized universities, it is appropriate. The aspirant who is willing to do a Ph.D. in any stream must hold a master's degree with first-class honors, or for candidates appearing after result declaration, they must achieve the required percentage marks as mentioned in the Pre-registration test application. After submitting the registration form for the Ph.D. PRT (Pre-Registration Test), one must prepare for general objective type questions, optional subject-related objective type questions, and optional theoretical/subjective type questions in the subject in which the candidate holds a master's degree. The number of questions and the duration of the exam may vary from one university/institute to another. Please check where you are applying.

After passing the PRT test, the candidate has to select a topic and enroll with the registered/permanent faculty of the university/institute who holds a doctorate (Ph.D.) degree. Subsequently, with the assent of the faculty/teacher, they must create a synopsis and have it approved by the relevant university/institute approving authorities. Upon approval of the topic, they can register for Ph.D. Pursuance. After registration, the thesis/research must be completed within the specified time and submitted to the relevant approving authorities to receive a Ph.D. degree.

Thanks & Best Regards:
