PhD Study in India – A Guide for 2024

Written by Mark Bennett

The Indian higher education system has expanded at a simply phenomenal rate during the 21st Century - and it shows no sign of stopping. This rapid growth in the number of individual PhD universities is also producing a range of research opportunities , ranging from cutting-edge Science and Engineering projects to unique programmes exploring the country's own diverse history and culture.

This page provides a comprehensive introduction to PhD study in India, with information on universities, colleges, fees, funding opportunities, average duration and eligibility requirements.

Diversity and specialisation - Whether you want to research Business Management, Bombay Cinema or Buddhist Philosophy, the scope of options for PhD study in India means there's almost certainly an excellent programme available for you.
Affordability and accessibility - PhD fees in India vary a lot, but are often surprisingly low. Meanwhile, English is widely spoken and is adopted as the language of instruction at a wide range of universities.
Increasing global recognition - University rankings have taken some time to catch up with the speed of India's higher education expansion, but this is beginning to change. Several of India's leading universities and institutes now feature in international league tables for 2024.
Youth and dynamism - India's current population is one of the youngest in the world, demographically speaking. This fresh and dynamic outlook helps drive a culture of innovation and entrepreneurialism. You'll fit right in as a PhD researcher looking to develop new ideas and approaches.

India's universities can also claim some impressive alumni, including the current CEOs of Microsoft (Satya Nadella) and Google (Sundar Pichai). So, in a way, they may well have helped you find this page.

Indian universities

India's higher education system is one of the world's biggest, with well over 1000 different universities. It's also one of the most diverse, as these institutions fall into a range of different categories.

This has the potential to seem confusing, but, for prospective PhD students, the differences between individual universities (or groupings) won't generally be as important as the specific research projects and programmes they offer.

University types

There are five different varieties of university with the potential to offer PhD programmes in India. In most cases the distinction between these groups concerns the way in which they are established and administered.

The Indian higher education system is made up of the following:

47 Central Universities - As their name suggests, these are centrally administered by the Indian Government through its Department of Higher Education. This group includes some of India's oldest research universities, as well as some newer and more specialised institutions.
390 State Universities - These are set up and governed by individual Indian states and provinces. They include a wide range of institutions, many of which specialise in certain subjects.
307 Private Universities - These are also set up within (and accredited by) individual states or provinces, but are established by independent organisations. They often tend to focus more on international recruitment than Central or State ('public') universities.
124 Deemed to be Universities - This group includes a wide range of institutions that weren't set up as universities, but are currently recognised as having university-level expertise in certain subjects. As such they may carry out associated research and teaching.
138 Institutes of National Importance - These are India's premier centres for teaching, scholarship and research. Each is established or recognised by a specific act of parliament and designated with particular specialisms and objectives. See below for more details.

PhD colleges in India

India is also home to over 39,000 colleges, but things aren't quite as vast (or complicated) as they seem. Indian higher education colleges tend to be affiliated with local state universities, helping deliver the teaching for the degree programmes those universities award.

In practice, this system is actually quite similar to the collegiate university model adopted within older UK universities such as Oxford and Cambridge : the student studies within a college towards a qualification granted by its associated university.

Some Indian colleges specialise in postgraduate (or 'post-graduate') programmes, effectively functioning like the graduate schools operated by universities in the USA or Canada.

Institutions of National Importance

India's Institutions of National Importance (INIs) are its most prestigious higher education institutions, tasked with strategic academic and professional objectives. Most are highly specialised and are organised into appropriate networks based on the subjects they pursue.

At present the list of INIs includes:

23 Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) - these focus primarily on Engineering and related subjects. Together with the National Institutes of Technology (below) they award the majority of Indian PhDs in these disciplines.
31 National Institutes of Technology (NITs) - these also focus on Engineering as well as related subjects such as Architecture and Management.
20 Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) - these are India's premier centres for professional training and research in Business and Management. Most of the programmes they offer award postgraduate degrees, including the Fellow Programme in Management (FPM) - equivalent to a PhD.
7 Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs) - these conduct research and training in a broad range of scientific fields.
7 National Institutes of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPERs) - focussing on Pharmacy, Pharmacology and related Chemical Sciences.
7 All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMs) - focussing on professional training and qualification in Medicine and related Health Sciences.
3 Schools of Planning and Architecture (SPAs) - focussing on professional training and research in Architecture and related subjects.

Needless to say, the INIs include some of India's highest ranked and most internationally renowned universities, making them a strong choice for international PhD study in appropriate subjects.

Subject specialisms

It's quite common for Indian universities to focus on particular subjects or even to specialise in these subjects at a postgraduate level. This can make it easier to find appropriate universities for your PhD, but it does mean that not all provide comprehensive research opportunities.

Indian university cities

The sheer size of India's university system means that opportunities for PhD study exist right across the country. However, there are a number of key 'hubs' for study and research. These include major cities such as Mumbai , Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad , Kanpur and Pune .

Indian university rankings

Global rankings are beginning to reflect the growth of India's university system and its increasing expertise in key subject areas. The country's Institutes of Technology (IITs) are particularly well ranked, with several in the current Times Higher Education world top 500:

Top 10 Indian Universities in 2024

Do rankings matter for PhD study?

University rankings can help you choose a PhD project or programme, provided you know what to look at. Our guide explains how to use rankings as a prospective postgraduate.

Accreditation

Universities in India are overseen by the University Grants Commission . This is an official body ensuring that higher education in India is properly supported and meets appropriate standards.

PhD structure

The Indian PhD is an advanced research qualification, designed for students who have already completed undergraduate and (usually) postgraduate training.

As a doctoral student, you'll set out to independently research an original topic with the support of at least one supervisor (an academic at your university with relevant expertise and experience). At the end of your degree you'll submit a thesis describing your research activities and results.

In this sense, PhD study in India is very similar to other countries. However, as you'd expect from a country with such a large - and diverse - higher education system, there are a few differences.

Most Indian universities award the standard PhD as an academic research doctorate. Some also provide other qualifications, including more specialised doctorates:

Fellow Programme in Management (FPM) - A PhD-level qualification usually offered by Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs). An FPM may include professional training, comparable to that involved in a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) degree. Programmes usually last for up to five years.
Doctorate in Pharmacy (Pharm D) - A specialised professional qualification usually lasting for at least six years.
Master of Philosophy (MPhil) - A shorter academic research qualification (lasting one to two years), also offered in the UK and other countries. Some MPhil programmes allow progression to a full PhD.

PhD programmes

It's common for Indian universities to establish doctoral programmes within which their postgraduate students receive additional training and support as they carry out their research.

At State Universities, these are often organised by local affiliated colleges (effectively operating as the university's graduate school). More specialised Institutions of National Importance may run a single doctoral programme within which all of their students work on related topics.

PhD programmes often commence with a coursework phase . This provides any specialist subject knowledge and research skills a student needs in order to carry out their own independent research.

The coursework component of your PhD will usually be completed in your first year (this may be shorter if you already have relevant qualifications and training at Masters level). After this you will prepare a synopsis of your project and be assigned an appropriate supervisor to guide your research.

From this point on you will work more independently, carrying out research and collecting results upon which to construct your thesis.

Programme length

In most cases, the duration of a PhD in India is around three years . It's possible to study for longer, but some universities may set a maximum registration period for doctoral students - this is usually around five years, if so.

Academic year

The Indian academic year usually runs from May to July . As a PhD student you will normally complete coursework and other training within this teaching period. However, your research project will be ongoing.

Assessment and examination

The main criteria for the award of an Indian PhD is the quality of the doctoral thesis you produce at the end of your degree.

You will first submit your thesis internally. This can be a more significant stage in India than elsewhere. Multiple faculty members will often be involved and these may request corrections and resubmissions before allowing a student to proceed to their external examination.

Once your university is satisfied, your thesis will be orally examined by one or more external examiners. In India this is known as the 'Open Defence'. The title is appropriate as these examinations usually take place in a ceremonial setting and in front of an audience including your fellow students, faculty, family and friends.

Don't be put off by the prospect of being examined 'live' in this way: The Open Defence is a well-deserved opportunity to take pride in your work and the expertise it has produced.

Publication requirements

In addition to completing your thesis itself, you may be expected to have produced a peer-reviewed publication before your doctorate can be awarded. This may seem daunting to a new or prospective student, but you'll soon find that you're already producing work of a high standard as part of researching your doctoral thesis.

Your faculty will probably maintain a list of the journals it regards as being acceptable and your supervisor will be able to advise you on the preparation of your research for publication.

Fees and funding

India is a comparatively inexpensive destination for PhD study, though the actual cost of a PhD in India will vary between universities and regions.

There is no set fee for PhD study at Indian universities. Generally, State Universities will be cheaper than Private Universities, but neither are especially expensive by international standards.

International students won't necessarily pay more to study in India, though some universities may restrict the number of 'foreign students' they enrol.

Programmes are generally between USD $2,000-5,000 per year, though some universities will charge more. The best approach is to identify an institution with appropriate facilities and expertise for your PhD, then inquire as to its fees.

You'll also have some other costs to cover for an Indian PhD. These may include registration and application fees as well as fees for your eventual PhD examination. Most will be fairly minor expenses, but it's worth checking with your university in advance and confirming exactly what - and how much - you'll be required to pay.

PhD funding

The main source of government support for international students in India is the ICCR Scholarship Scheme , formerly known as the General Scholarship Scheme (GSS). This provides funding for students from specific countries to study at Bachelors, Masters or PhD level in India, with some restrictions on subjects and programmes.

International applicants with Indian heritage may also be eligible to apply to the Scholarship Programmes for Diaspora Children (SPDC) scheme. However, this support may be restricted to undergraduate programmes.

A list of other scholarships and fellowships for study in India is maintained on the University Grants Commission website .

Most Indian universities will also have their own scholarships and fee waivers available for their students, though not all of these will be available to international applicants. You can view a partial list of institutions offering international fee waivers on the Indian Government website . Note that these waivers may not necessarily be for PhD programmes or other postgraduate courses.

PhD funding guides

There's plenty of support out there for you to complete a doctorate in India (or elsewhere). Our PhD funding guides will help you make sense of your options.

Applying for a PhD in India

Some Indian universities use admissions portals to help manage their applications. Others will accept direct applications, or advertise specific opportunities .

Admission requirements

To be eligible to study a PhD in India, you have to have a Masters degree in a relevant subject, usually with an overall grade of at least 55% (or the equivalent).

Candidates will also be expected to have the necessary language skills for their course. English is one of India's official languages and is used for teaching at most of its universities/ However, some specialised universities will teach in Hindi , Urdu or other Indian languages.

There is no age limit for doing a PhD in India. Most PhDs take between three and five years to complete so it's worth considering what you want to do after completing your degree.

In July 2022, the UK and Indian governments signed a mutual agreement to formally recognise eachother's higher education qualifications. This means that if you studied your Masters degree in the UK, it will automatically be recognised as the equivalent of an Indian Masters (and vice-versa!) This should make the application process easier for UK students looking to do a PhD in India.

The Indian PhD application process

Indian PhD applications are usually competitive. Each university will have a specific number of places available on its PhD programmes each year and will use a system of entrance examinations, interviews and research proposal assessment to select the best candidates.

Individual institutions are free to manage this process themselves, but most will follow the same general steps.

PhD notifications

First, the university will establish how many places it has available for its PhD programmes. These places are then published as a 'notification' for that round of PhD admissions.

Notifications for the next academic year will usually be published in the previous Autumn. You can find them by searching university websites. You can also check the PhD opportunities listed here on FindAPhD.

The Research Eligibility Test (RET)

Once you have responded to its PhD notification, your prospective university will begin to assess your suitability for doctoral work.

PhD applicants in India are normally required to complete a Research Eligibility Test (RET): this is a written exam confirming that you have the necessary subject knowledge and expertise to carry out advanced research in your chosen discipline.

The content of the RET will be specific to your university and programme. In some cases universities will use relevant examination material from its own Masters degrees (as this is the level you should be working at as a PhD student).

You check the requirements and process for your RET before you begin your application. It may be the case that you are required to attend a physical exam in India (along with other students). Your university should be able to tell you if it makes any alternative arrangements for international students.

The next step (after a satisfactory RET performance) is to attend a PhD interview . Your university will normally publish details of candidates invited to interview as a formal part of its PhD admissions round.

The most important part of your interview day will be the interview itself, during which you will answer questions about your interests and experience and (hopefully) demonstrate that you are a suitable candidate for its programme.

The university will also use this opportunity to check and assess your application documents . You will normally be asked to bring certificates and transcripts related to your existing qualifications, as well as other materials related to your application. The exact requirements will be published along with your interview details.

Research proposals

Your previous qualifications, RET score and interview performance will confirm you are suitably qualified and prepared for a place on an Indian PhD programme. Some universities may also wish to check the details for the topic you plan to explore with your PhD. If so, they will ask you to submit a research proposal .

This may be a separate stage in your application, or it may be part of your interview process. Again, you should check your university's requirements.

Application portals

Some Indian universities partner with external services to help manage their admissions. This can make your application a lot easier, with additional support and guidance available on the exact requirements.

The most important application portal for international students in India is EdCIL . This is an official partner service, designated by the Indian Government to support applications from students seeking to study abroad in India.

Application fees

Some universities (and portals) will charge fees during their application process. These cover the costs of registering and processing applications as well as the administration of examinations and interviews.

Individually, these fees are likely to be quite small (often less than $10 at a time). However, it's a good idea to make a note of all the required fees at the beginning of your application and ensure you don't end up paying more than you expect.

Student visas

You'll need a visa to study in India as an international student. This is usually easy to obtain, provided you are a genuine student and have been accepted to study at an Indian university.

India issues various visas, but the one you'll require as a PhD student is, surprisingly enough, a student visa . This is normally valid for up to five years and allows multiple entries into India during your course.

Application requirements

The materials required for an Indian student visa application will usually include:

Proof of admission to your university (you'll need this before you start your application)
Personal documents (your passport and other details)
Financial evidence (confirming you have sufficient money to support yourself during your course)

You can then apply for your visa online using a service set up by the Indian Government.

PhD life in India

Want to know more about what it's like to live in India during a PhD? Our detailed guide covers everything from accommodation and living costs to culture and entertainment.

An Indian PhD will qualify you well for further work related to your research area, in India or elsewhere. The expansion of the Indian university sector is creating many opportunities for academic work in the country and your experience of Indian higher education will prepare you well for these kinds of roles.

As of July 2022, all undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications earned in India are automatically recognised in the UK (and vice versa). This means that you'll be able to use your Indian PhD to more easily access a wide range of job opportunities in the UK.

It is usually possible to extend a student visa if you find work in India, or to apply for a separate employment visa (provided you have evidence of a suitable job offer). Your university should be able to provide more information and guidance during your PhD.

Top 20 Universities in India for Postgraduate Study

Written by Ben Taylor

India is home to one of the largest higher education systems in the world, with over 1000 universities. It’s unsurprising, then, that many of these institutions feature at the top of the main global ranking tables.

On this page we’ve compared how Indian universities perform on the world stage, using rankings data from three of the most reputable league tables. We’ve also looked at the Indian government’s own National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF).

Top ranked Indian universities and Institutes of National Importance

The table below shows how Indian universities are ranked according to the latest figures released by three major ranking systems: Times Higher Education World University Rankings, QS World University Rankings and the Academic Ranking of World Universities.

It’s worth bearing in mind that each of these rankings uses different metrics to quantify the prestige and reputation of universities, emphasising the importance of particular measures. Not all of these will be of complete significance to postgraduates, but it’s likely that most prospective Masters students will be particularly interested in the research output of a university.

Check out our guide to university rankings for more information and advice on how they work.

So, how good are Indian universities for Masters study?

As the above table illustrates, there are many Indian universities among the top 1,000 in the world, with a few institutions considered among the best 500. Although the number of Indian universities ranked among the very best isn’t quite as high as traditional heavy hitters like the USA and the UK, this isn’t a reflection on the quality of the education offered by Indian institutions.

India has a well-earned reputation for excellence in STEM subjects, helped by the prestigious Institutes of National Importance (INI). These are hotbeds for scientific and medical innovation, offering some of the most competitive Masters programmes in India.

Domestic rankings for Indian universities

Other useful rankings to consider when choosing a university are domestic league tables. These offer more of a ‘level playing field’ for comparing institutions, whereas international rankings are comparing very different higher education systems around the world.

In the case of India, a good place to start is the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF), an initiative by the Indian government to rank domestic universities.

As well as offering an overall ranking, the NIRF produces discipline-specific league tables. For more information on the metrics that the NIRF uses, check out the National Institutional Ranking Framework website.

Best PhD Programs in India in 2024: Which One Should You Choose?

Pursuing a PhD is akin to seeking knowledge about sectors that have not been explored or questioned, developing new skill sets, and discovering new things. It delves into the greater depths of a specific area of knowledge and is only meant to be pursued by students seeking it. It is purely an academic-based pursuit, and for anyone thinking about doing a PhD, academia is the most obvious path for them. To make things even easier, online PhD programs in India have also opened up a whole new world of avenues and opportunities for budding students in their respective fields.

However, the degree also gives budding professionals excellent career prospects in any industrial sector that primarily runs on research and innovation. It is also one of the best ways to make an original contribution in your own discipline and even make a significant accomplishment in your field.

In India, a PhD degree is of high value in job sectors related to academia and is a degree offered to students from various fields by top universities. They aim to provide quality doctoral studies to increase your salary potential and value in the job market.

There are many universities that offer a PhD to students in India.

However, that should not be a cause for concern because there are countless universities providing PD programs, and you are sure to find one offering a course in your field of interest.

The best PhD fields are primarily information-based. You will be eating, breathing, and living on information once you start a PhD course. Due to the amount of focus, drive, hard work, and dedication required to pursue a PhD, employers often seek it. Therefore, pursuing a PhD in a particular field ensures that you get paid well in the future while opening up a plethora of career options.

An Indian PhD will qualify you immensely for furthering your research and work related to your area of expertise. The Indian university sector is expanding exponentially and has created many opportunities for further academic work. Thanks to online education delivery platforms, pursuing higher education in India is easier now.

As a working professional, if you are looking at adding Doctor title to your name, I would recommend DBA over PhD. A DBA program allows you to do the same and has a flexible industry-oriented approach rather than an academic approach taken by PhD. However, DBA won’t help you to earn a professor title at a UGC-approved institution since that will require a PhD.

A doctorate degree has many potential career prospects that will land you high-paying and respectable job roles in the market. One such premium example is the Global Doctor of Business Administration course offered by upGrad . Enrol in this course and take a step higher into your career.

India to Achieve Record 107 Universities in 2025 World Rankings: Phil Baty

Curated By : Suramya Sunilraj

Last Updated: August 07, 2024, 12:09 IST

New Delhi, India

THE rankings for the past ten years are the result of global levelling (Representational/ PTI Photo)

Baty drew attention to the notable rise in the sheer number of Indian universities taking part in international rankings

The Times Higher Education World University Rankings, sometimes known as the THE Rankings, are an annual release of university rankings by the Times Higher Education magazine. Phil Baty, Chief Global Affairs Officer at Times Higher Education, discussed India’s improvement in global university rankings since the World University Rankings were established in 2004. Baty expressed his enthusiasm over the previous two decades as he witnessed India’s tremendous progress in higher education.

Baty was quoted by ANI as saying that he developed the world’s most thorough and balanced rating system for global research universities. Observing how the global ranking of Indian colleges changed over the past 20 years has been interesting. “We’ve seen an extraordinary growth in participation from India. When I first came to India 15 years ago, there was a sense that India didn’t want to be on the world stage and didn’t want to worry about global rankings and global metrics,” Baty added.

Baty drew attention to the notable rise in the sheer number of Indian universities taking part in international rankings. Additionally, he said that the rankings we have been seeing for the past ten years are the result of “global levelling,” adding that twenty years ago, Indian universities were hardly included in the rankings at all. In contrast, India will have an unprecedented 107 universities in the upcoming October 2025 ranking, matching the United Kingdom and ranking third best-represented in the world.

According to ANI, Baty commended PM Modi’s ambitious vision and dedication to modernising India’s education system, stating that he has achieved an impressive mix of expansion and quality. Indian colleges are increasingly making a stronger social and economic effect by focusing on the country’s economic demands.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised Indian colleges’ success in THE World University Rankings in June of this year. According to current Times Higher Education figures, Indian university enrolment has surged dramatically since 2016. In 2016, 31 universities participated, and the number has since climbed to 133. The worldwide rankings featured participation from up to 124 universities in 2024. This places India as the fourth-most represented country in the rankings.

Computer Applications graduates have been in demand for the last few decades — both in the domestic and global job market - with jobs in various sectors and lucrative packages. This set the trend in the Indian education system to pursue a course that ensures a well-paying career. As a result, BCA courses in India gained popularity.

For those who are wondering about the career prospect of a BCA graduate, big MNCs recruit BCA students. Some of these big companies include Google, Microsoft, Infosys, TCS, HCL, Wipro, Accenture India, and many others.

BCA Package in India

The average salary in India for a BCA graduate is in the range of ₹3 lakhs to ₹6 lakhs per year, depending on the job role, the employer, and the city. Some government organisations offer ₹15,000 to ₹30,000 a month to BCA graduates. Private sector recruiters can offer a different pay grade depending on the job role and responsibilities.
