Yes, of course you are eligible to apply for PhD course after completing a Master Degree through Open University. However, your university must be approved by the UGC or Central or State Government to be eligible for PhD course. Only those who have completed Master Degree with 55% of marks are eligible. You need to qualify in the NET entrance exam in order to get admission.
