Is it possible to do a dual specialization in PhD?

<p>Well, as per the National Education Policy (NEP), you can take up &lt;a href="https://www.shiksha.com/ph-d-chp"&gt;PhD&lt;/a&gt; research in two subject areas following an interdisciplinary approach. But this idea has its own potential downsides that you must consider. There would be increasing work pressure, as dual specialisation at the doctorate level requires extensive research and time to invest, making it difficult to balance the two research areas.</p><p>Most importantly, a dual specialisation in a PhD can only be done after getting the approval from both departments with a clear research proposal for an interdisciplinary approach, which may not happen so easily. Hence, given the challenges, it gets difficult to do a dual specialisation in PhD in India and is not considered a great move.</p>
