After BA, I am looking to pursue a PhD degree, should I have to study MA or M.Phil or both? What do you suggest me in this context?

I will recommend you to do MA which is a master degree after graduation to become eligible for PhD
>> If you want to do PhD in particular stream like sociology, Psychology, English ,etc make sure that you must opt that subject as a main in M.A
>> M.Phil is also a research degree but not equivalent to PhD as it can be obtained from various routes.

After B.A course, you are not eligible for M.Phil or Ph.D course. So you can do masters course. After completion of masters course, you can apply for M.Phil or Ph.D course.

Those candidates who have completed masters degree from a recognized university are eligible for Ph.D/ M.Phil entrance exam. General and OBC candidates should hold 55% and above marks in masters degree. For SC/ST candidate its 50% and above in masters degree.

After b.sc. nursing course candidate are eligible for m.phil nursing?
