Well, as per the National Education Policy (NEP), you can take up PhD research in two subject areas following an interdisciplinary approach. But this idea has its own potential downsides that you must consider. There would be increasing work pressure, as dual specialisation at the doctorate level requires extensive research and time to invest, making it difficult to balance the two research areas.

Most importantly, a dual specialisation in a PhD can only be done after getting the approval from both departments with a clear research proposal for an interdisciplinary approach, which may not happen so easily. Hence, given the challenges, i

Well, the entrance exams for a PhD degree are seen to be highly competitive. With fewer seats available at top universities as opposed to the large number of applicants. Further, the success rate differs on the basis of the particular exam you're taking, the university you're eyeing, and the specialisation you're interested in.

In general, getting admission to PhD courses is no cakewalk and requires you to have a strong academic hold on the discipline, excellent research knowledge and potential, and a compelling research proposal.

You should start preparing at least 10 to 12 months in advance because the exam is generally considered challenging. It will require you to have thorough knowledge of the discipline and research potential.

Starting early will give you enough time to go through the maximum topics in the exam syllabus, plan a good revision strategy, and increase your chances of doing well and getting shortlisted for PhD admission.

The entrance exams for PhD courses are generally difficult to crack, given the research-oriented focus they demand, along with excellent subject knowledge and critical thinking abilities. Since the doctorate degree is the highest level of academic qualification, the entrance exam that is the entry point for the same is also challenging, demanding excellent preparation on your part.

Further, the difficulty level of the exam also depends on the number of applicants, last years' results, and student feedback. You should work hard and practice previous year question papers to do well in the exam.

Well, yes. Almost every academic institution asks for an application fee to be paid at the time of filling out the Ph.D admission form, which may vary from one institution to another. The general application fee ranges between INR 500 and INR 3,000. The fee is usually lower for reserved category applicants.

Note: This figure is just a rough estimation, and you must go to the official college websites to get accurate information about their respective application fees.

The first step towards the PhD degree is to fill the application form for the desired colleges before the last date. You must have all the documents ready with you to be uploaded while filling out the online application form, as is the norm followed by a majority of the top universities at present. 

  • A master's degree 
  • Entrance Exam Scorecard Copy
  • A Valid Identity Proof like a PAN card, Aadhar, Passport, etc.
  • A well-drafted Statement of Purpose 
  • Reserved Category Certificate 
  • Migration and Character Certificates
  • Recent Passport-Size Photos
