Admission in PhD in Government universities in India
Author: DR.N.V. Srinivasa Rao Post Date: 30 Mar 2023 Each university will give its own notification for admission to PhD in different subjects in that university. How to apply and the details of the entrance test or/ and Interview will be given in that notification. The candidate has to follow the instructions and attend the entrance test. Based on the performance of the candidate in the entrance and interview, admission will be given.
National Testing Agency (NTA) will conduct the NET test to decide the eligibility of a candidate to become an assistant Professor or/and Junior research fellow. Only candidates who qualified in this test will be suitable to become assistant professors in government colleges and universities. The candidates who are qualified for a Junior research fellowship may get a fellowship from CSIR or UGC.
The candidates who qualified in NET should apply separately for admission to PhD in any university. NET qualification is not a must for admission to a PhD. But to get a fellowship from UGC or CSIR it is a must. But qualifying in the entrance test conducted by the university is a must for admission. In addition to the entrance test, the candidate should attend an interview and should get the nod of a research guide in that university to provide guidance to the candidate.
Author: Arsha A J Post Date: 30 Mar 2023 My own thoughts Prior to pursuing a PhD, candidates must consider a range of choices based on the accessibility of research facilities, the qualifications of the research supervisor, and the cost. For PhD programs, private schools typically charge around INR 1 lakh annually, whereas government colleges typically charge INR 20,000–30,000 annually. Candidates for PhD programmes in India are required to complete the RET, also known as the NET. This written exam determines whether they possess the necessary subject knowledge to carry out in-depth study. Additionally, candidates must pass a PhD admissions test.Qualifications for Doctor of Philosophy Only candidates who have earned a master's degree in a subject or stream that is related to the PhD course of study are qualified to enrol in it. Additionally, some colleges stipulate that in order to enrol in one of their PhD programs, applicants must have finished an MPhil. In addition, many colleges say that if a candidate has passed the UGC NET, they are eligible for their PhD programmes. Candidates must have a valid GATE score in order to seek a PhD in engineering.
