Can I pursue a Ph.D. without an entrance exam?

Yes, you can get admission directly to the Doctor of Philosophy after the Bachelor of Technology course, provided you have a great academic background and some research experience. Some universities conduct entrance exams to select candidates for Doctor of Philosophy programs. Universities that conduct entrance exams do not ask for a University Grants Commission-National Eligibility Test Certificate as a mandatory requirement. Doctor of Philosophy in specialised fields like engineering and technology requires a valid GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) mandatory. You may visit the Shiksha Doctor of Philosophy overview page for more details. (<a href="https://www.shiksha.com/ph-d-chp" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>https://www.shiksha.com/ph-d-chp</a>). I hope this will help you.

All IITs, NITs and central universities take their own entrance exam for Ph.D. but you can pursue your Ph.D. without an entrance exam from a private college.
