M.Phil

The M.Phil Economics course duration used to be 2 years. Since the MPhil Economics course has been discontinued, the new batches of students can directly pursue a PhD degree after a 4-year degree (3+1 year of research) if they graduate with at least 75% marks and clear UGC NET. 

To pursue an M.Phil, the interested candidate must fulfil the following criteria:

• Must have a master's degree in the relevant field.
• 55% marks or equivalent in postgraduation 
• There is no age restrictions to pursue this course

Other than that, the interested candidates must visit the official website of the college they wish to pursue an M.Phil. If they fulfil the eligibility criteria, then they are good to get admission to the college of their choice.
