I also had the same query for one of my niece who was planning to enrol in Ph.D management. On inquiring, I came to now that the university offers
a. Ph.D Management - Part time (NOC required from the Employer)
b. Ph.D Management - Full time
The eligibility is a) Master's degree with 55% aggregate marks in a relevant discipline or equivalent, subject to qualifying LPUNEST and Interview;
b) Other conditions as prescribed in the Guidelines for Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D. ) programmes. (5% relaxation to SC/ ST/ OBC (non-creamy layer)/ differently-able candidates)An applicant will be short listed for interview on the basis of his/ her score in the entrance examination LPUNEST (Ph.D. ). I also came to know the important point that the final selection for admission in Ph.D. will be based on the performance in Entrance Test (70% weightage) and Interview (30% weightage) subject to scoring minimum marks in the Interview. As per the rules, course work is mandatory and after that supervisor selection takes place and the same is taken by a special Division I. e CDRP which is meant only for undertaking research related things. In addition to this, maximum two supervisors will be allowed, one main supervisor from the concerned department from LPU and one Co-supervisor can be opted from LPU or from other institution /university /industry /NGO provided he/ she meets the eligibility requirement as per LPU policy. I must say that LPU 's system is planned in such a way that no one feels any inconvenience. The counsellor told that the last date to apply for Ph.D is 22-7-2020 which you should not miss due to any reason.
