Hi, in general, minimum eligibility for PhD is post graduation degree from any recognized university, with a Bachelor’s degree/ equivalent qualification obtained after a minimum of three years of education after completing higher secondary schooling (10+2) or equivalent. Or those who possess professional qualifications like CA, ICWA, CS, or Those with B.E./B.Tech degrees, Or PG Diploma in Business Administration, considered equivalent to MBA. Some institute might have some additional criteria like 2-3 years' post qualification full time relevant work experience in executive capacity, 55 % marks or equivalent CGPA at PG level, entrance test etc… Some of the institutes require GATE/NET for PhD. After your Master, you may apply for PhD. However, every institute has its own selection procedure which you can find out directly from the institute. A comprehensive list of management colleges is available at tinyurl.com/yl49hkw - you can see results by city. About the scope of PhD, PhD course helps in detailed understanding of one particular topic in a specific field. Scope of PhD is in academics, research. Apart from academics and research, opportunities also include in industry. Various industries, consultancy firms, financial markets etc demand for PhD candidates because the candidate obtains expertise in conducting independent research, focusing on the practicalities of the problem, developing solutions models to them, implementing them to obtain results. This requires considerable focus, logic, practical thinking and ability to defend ones stand. These skills are required by every industry/firm/company. Hence the scope after PhD is wide. Now about the age for applying jobs, in general, age criteria depend on the job and the organization also. In the private sector there won’t be any problem. However, government sector put some age criteria for specific jobs. So, you may inquire from the the organizations you wish to apply after studies for these details. All the best!
