Dear Aspirant,

I personally do not see any logic behind doing PhD Sociology from abroad. Why did you do MA Sociology through distance learning? Were you working while doing MA? If no, then I would suggest that you should do PhD from Indian Universities.

I would suggest that you should start working based on your MA Sociology and then enrol for a PhD program. If you wish to teach Sociology in colleges, then you need to appear for NET/SET exam conducted by UGC so that you get Assistant Professor job. If you do this, your PhD will be more smooth. To remain in the teaching profession completing NET and PhD is a must.

I feel you should join a job immediately first and simultaneously study for NET/SET exam if you are interested in teaching. If not interested in teaching, then along side job you can do your PhD.

Best wishes
