First you need to decide from which country you want to do PhD as every country has different requirements.
If you look into National University of Singapore, it has following requirements
DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY
Admission Requirements:
* An outstanding bachelors degree (in relevant discipline).
* Ability to pursue research in the candidate's proposed field of advanced study.
Applicants who obtained their degrees from this University can submit certified copies of the official transcripts of academic records. Applicants who obtained their degrees from universities other than NUS should submit original official transcripts. Please use the attached transcript request form for this purpose. All documents must be in English or accompanied by certified copies of the English translated version.
All applicants should submit either the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) OR Graduate Records Examination (GRE) scores. The tests must have been taken within 5 years before the proposed date of admission. GATE results from India and similar tests are generally NOT accepted for admission to the school of business.
Applicants who obtained their degrees from universities where English was not the main medium of communication MUST submit certified Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score sheets or request Educational Testing Services (E.T.S.) to send original TOEFL scores to NUS (Our institution code is 9082).TSE and TWE scores are required as part of TOEFL. Applicants who do not have TSE and TWE scores will be assessed on spoken and written English by a faculty member, and this may delay processing of their applications. IELTS is also acceptable. Applicants either submit TOEFL or IELTS.
Recommendations from 2 academic referees should be submitted by using the referees report forms.
Applicants will typically be interviewed either in Singapore or overseas by our faculty
So typically, you should have a very good academic record at PG level or 4 years UG degree level. You should have good GMAT/ GRE score, you need to have at least 2 academic recommendation, you need to secure education visa too and need to prove your financial ability to fund the course. You need to write good research proposal.

Hi Sanket,
If you are studying in the 1st year of engineering course and want to change the branch after completing 1st year of engineering i.e in the 2nd year then you can change the branch in 2nd year if your CGPA in the first year is minimum 8.5 or above and there are no backlog in any paper of 1st year. If you satisfy the above eligibility criteria then you can change the branch after completing 1st year of engineering.
However, I would request you to contact your Head of Department regarding the procedure set forth by the college.
