Hi,
See, both of them are advanced research degrees, though their level of study and the depth of research involved differ. While an MPhil is a master's degree, a PhD is the highest academic degree, requiring real, in-depth research.
But there's no point comparing both courses, since the UGC discontinued the MPhil course as a part of the National Education Policy (NEP) India 2020. Now, the PhD is the only primary route to research-oriented career fields.
