    A majority of the colleges and universities in India offer PhD admission on the basis of valid entrance exam scores like UGC NET, CSIR NET, or GATE. There might be a few colleges that allow for direct admission to PhD (Full Form: Doctor of Philosophy) programs, given you have an excellent score in your post-graduation and some prior research experience. Having said that, it is always better if you give the entrance tests and score excellent marks and rank in the exam to be able to grab a seat for the doctorate degree course.
