Yes, you can pursue a Ph.D. with only a postgraduate (PG) degree, without qualifying for the National Eligibility Test (NET) or holding an M.Phil. degree. In India, universities have specific eligibility criteria for Ph.D. admissions, which may vary. Some institutions accept candidates with a PG degree, while others require NET qualification or an M.Phil. For example, the Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) allows candidates with an M.Sc. or B.E. degree to apply for their Ph.D. program, provided they have at least 60% aggregate marks.

It would be no problem to study for a Ph.D. later if you are currently 35 years old. The basic eligibility criteria in most cases for Ph.D. admission are a good master's degree (or equivalent) in the specific field, along with good academic credentials. Most institutions do not have an age limit for entry into any Ph.D. program. However, some institutions will have certain age limits and restrictions while offering specific scholarships or fellowships.

Yes, you can sit for the NTA NET even after getting your MA in English if you want to pursue a PG Diploma in Criminal Justice, but generally speaking, for taking the UGC NET Criminology Exam, a Master's in Criminology or other related subjects is a pre-requirement.
