Hello


Many thanks for choosing Meracareerguide.com and writing to us. I really appreciate your thought concerning a PhD study. A Doctorate is the highest academic achievement one could get which also comes with a prestigious tag of 'Dr' that can be added to your name as a prefix. I understand you would like to do a PhD in Management in India.

The criteria for applying to PhD in India is
1. A valid undergraduate degree (either a 3 year or a 4 year) with a pass, preferably First class or above
2. A valid Masters degree (mandatory, a 2 year degree) with a pass, preferably First class or above. Please understand that many Universities abroad offer a one year Masters and most institutions in India doesn't appreciate such degrees. So a mandatory two year degree is essential and it could be either a MA/MSc or MBA. MPhil degrees are also welcomed to apply for a PhD and they have a better standing.
3. Now comes the specific research tests. The test requirement depends where you would like to do your PhD degree. In India, UGC-NET is a basic requirement. Apart from this some schools require you to submit additional test scores. If you are planning to do your PhD at esteemed B-Schools in India, they will require a mandatory CAT score to be submitted along with your NET score. Some schools also appreciate GMAT scores. If you have passed from IIT's you could waive these test scores. In sum, you are required to sit for CAT apart from the NET score that you already have.

Regarding your scholarship inquiry, if you are doing your PhD at a Government accredited university like the IIT's or the state universities in India, you need to have a JRF test result. This will be the eligibility criteria to be considered for a stipend every month. If you submit papers that prove you are qualified NET and JRF candidate, you will be given stipend every month to support your PhD. This could be in a range anywhere between 12,000 to 18,000 every month for Management students.

If you are willing to study your PhD from only esteemed B-Schools like the IIM's or the ISB, they have fantastic scholarship opportunities. All students admitted to the program are exempt from paying tuition fees and they give you a monthly stipend ranging from 25,000 to 35,000 per month. The highest is offered by ISB Hyderabad and it pays above 35,000 every month. The starting range of 25,000 every month is offered by IIM Trichy, IIM Ranchi, IIM Shillong and the ones that are close to 30,000 are IIMA, IIMB and IIMC. But to be eligible for scholarship and admission, these schools require high scores in CAT/GMAT.
I hope this helps. Good luck with your admissions.
