Sir/Mam,

I have completed my graduation with 49% from kumaun university.then i completed my post graduation from msc math with 72%. now i wanted to pursue phd but i feel due to my less grades in graduation i may not be applicable to that..is it compulsory that one shuld hve 50% in graduation for higher education..sir is there any way that i can improve my graduation marks now..? so that i can pursue higher education..

No, I am sorry to say that there is no way now to improve your graduation marks now.

Look dear, it is not mentioned anywhere that one should have scored a minimum of 50% marks in graduation to be able to pursue higher studies, but nowadays keeping in mind the competition level many Institutes have kept their minimum required marks in graduation above 50%.

Therefore, you should not get demoralised and should look for Institutes which may offer admission to you with your marks and then probably you can opt for Ph.D course. As, improving your graduation marks now is not possible in any manner.

I would like to tell you something, as you have completed your graduation as well as post graduation, so you are not eligible for appearing your graduation again and you cannot give any improvement paper for it also, so if you want to appear for graduation then you have to reappear for graduation from other university and that will again take minimum three years to complete, so there is no other way that you can give your improvement papers again.

Well, No need to improve your Graduation marks. You are eligible for PhD course after completing M.Sc Mathematics with 72% of marks. Normally, Graduation marks are not taking consideration for PhD course. Those candidates who have completed their Master degree course 55% in relevant specialization are eligible to apply for apply for PhD course. Since, you are completed M.Sc Mathematics course with 72% percentage of marks so you are eligible for PhD course for sure.

The qualification needed for applying PhD is a Master degree in relevant specialization with 55% of marks from a recognized university. The candidate has to NET/SLET exam for getting admissions for a PhD through reputed universities.

The application forms are provided in the counter office of a particular university. Forms are also available in the official website of the respective university. You can download the application form from the official website of the respective university with the prescribed fees.

No dear, this is not even written in LAW that if you have not secured 50% then you are not eligible for the Higher Education. yes, you might face some difficulties. For PhD Degree you must have 50% of the minimum in your Graduation, if not then you can take correspondence degree.

sorry,
There is no possibility now to improve your graduation marks.If you want to improve your marks then you have to study graduation again.But here you waste 3 year.so,don't worry as you have already studied post graduation.Don't worry and apply for PhD.

Hi sorry to say that once you completed you course i.e graduation and post gradution,there is no chance for improvement of marks. Percentage does not matter.if the person is rich in subjects then you can face the any compitive exam.knowledge always stays within you.coming towards phd plan.yes there are certain research field which sees your knowledge.if you go with entrance exam like GATE,CSIR etc then definitely % criteria do matter.dont lose hope.keeps trying.nothing wrong in that.good luck :-)

I have secured 53 percentage in post graduation I want to improve my percentage. What shall I do?
