Curious About Pursuing a Ph.D. in HR? Seeking Guidance on Entrance Exams and Syllabus

Dear All,

I have completed my MBA in HR and am currently working as an HR Executive. I would like detailed information about a Ph.D. in HR. I have heard that there is an entrance exam for a Ph.D. program. What will be the syllabus for that?

I have completed my graduation and post-graduation from Pune University. Can I take the entrance exam from Pune University, or do I have to apply to another university?

Kindly guide me.

Thank you.

Dear Swapna,

Instead of asking others, kindly go to Pune University's website and find out. Here is some info: [Entrance Exam Alert for PhD from Pune University | M.Sc/M.Phil candidates can apply online | BioTecNika](http://www.biotecnika.org/biotech-exam-alert/january-2010/admission-exam-alert-phd-pune-university-msc-mphil).

Have a nice day.

Thanks all, but I wanted to do a PhD from Pune University. Will you please provide information regarding that?

Dear Swapna

For any direct Phd (without M.Phil) entrance examination is compulsory. The PhD program can be done on Full Time or Part Time basis. Again, in part time there is an internal and external category.If you are currently working in the pune university affiliated colleges , then you can take Part-Time (Internal) admission. If you are working in other govt/private/semi-private organisations, you can take only Part-Time (External).

For details on the guide, seats availability and the admission check the links below..

NOTE: IT IS ALWAYS BEST TO GO IN PERSON AND ENQUIRE ABOUT THE ADMISSION PROCEDURE AND PERSONALLY GET THE CONSENT FROM THE GUIDE.

First, see the newspapers. The Registrar of any university can call for a Ph.D. program at that point in time. Apply for the Ph.D. program by checking the available seats in the field of Management. After this, you need to write the entrance exam, which includes some questions on Research Methodology, Teaching Aptitude, and HR-related questions. Only if you merit in the entrance exam will you get a seat to do a Ph.D. under any guide. This is due to a lack of research guides in those universities and limited seats.

For any further information, you can email me. I am working as a research scholar.
