PhD stands for Doctorate of Philosophy.It is the highest degree that a student can achieve. For doing PhD you need a masters degree with minimum of 55% marks from any recognised university .MPhil and NET are additional qualifications. If you clear JRF, UGC will provide financial assistance for completing your course. Usually regular PhD takes 3 to 5 year to complete. Since you have Mphil degree you need not do course work so that you can save time.
Here you can opt for part time PhD .In most of the universities students have to go through entrance exam and personal interview. It is better to have a research proposal before going for the interview. University of Madras, Pondicherry University, Presidency college, Bharathidasan University, Bharathiar university, Thiruvalluvar university, Manonmaniam university are the top universities offering PhD in Tamil. Admission procedure varies from university to university so you can better visit their websites for more updates.
