Dear Anush, To the best of my knowledge, the post-graduation should be in the same subject for the Ph.D. programme. Therefore, you can pursue Ph.D. in Management after an MBA programme but not in commerce. Only M.Com students can pursue Ph.D. in Commerce. My friend is also doing Ph.D. in Management at LPU after his MBA programme. It is not difficult to get admission to Ph.D. if you are good at research work. To increase your chances to get admission to Ph.D. you should have a good academic record and the area of research you want to work in. There are many universities that offer the Ph.D. programme, LPU is one of the best universities to do a Ph.D. to enhance your knowledge in the research area. Let me share something about the Ph.D. programme at LPU. Eligibility: You should have a minimum of 55% marks in your master's degree in a relevant subject. After that, you have to qualify for the LPU NEST exam if you have not qualified for a national level test such as GATE UGC NET CSIR, GPAT etc. The entrance will have 70% weightage in selection. After that, you have to appear for an interview and qualify for the same and have 30% weightage for the final selection. You may avail of scholarships also on the basis of LPU NEST or National Level Test. There is a special scholarship for female students to pursue a full-time or part-time Ph.D. at LPU. The highlight of the programme is the Flexi-Course Work option specially designed to accommodate professionals wherein a student can choose the best-suited option to complete the course work. Option 1
Classes on weekends (Saturday & Sunday only)
Option 2
4 days course work every month (Preferably every second week: Thu-Sun)
Note: LPU is not offering this option of coursework to agriculture students. Option 3
15 days of coursework (In the month of April/May )
LPU researchers won a huge research grant worth 10.8 Million through the Indo Canadian Impact project from DBT, GOI. For more details, you may refer to the LPU website. I hope this helps
Thanks.

It is possible to start an MS programme in the USA in the month of May, but it would depend on the specific programme and university you are interested in. Generally, most universities in the USA have two main intakes: Fall (August/September) and Spring (January/February). However, some universities may have additional intakes in the summer months (May/June/July) for certain programs. It's important to note that the availability of programs and seats may vary from university to university, and it's always best to check with the specific universities and programs you're interested in to SEE if they offer a May intake for their MS programs. It's also important to keep in mind that the admission process for universities in the USA can take several months, so it's recommended to start the application process well in advance of the intended start date.
