Yes, M.A 2nd year candidate are eligible for Ph.D course. So you can apply for UGC NET exam because without this score card, you can't get admission in Ph.D course.

NET stands for National Eligibility Test.

The educational qualification required for NET exam is masters degree from a recognized university with above 55% marks. 5% relaxation is given for SC/ST category candidates. Final year student are also eligible for NET exam.

There is no age criteria for NET exam but for JRF posts, your age should be below 28 years.

Final year post graduate students can apply for PH.D entrance exams but they have to make sure that they have above 55% marks. For reserved category 50% marks is the minimum criteria.

It will be better to apply for NET/SET/JRF exams if you are interested in PH.D admission. Candidates who have qualified any one of these exams will have good chance of getting admission in a top institute. Interview stage is also crucial for admission so be prepared for it.

By 2nd Year i hope you mean 3rd Semester.
You need to qualify for JRF to get a gauranteed spot in P.HD, no need for M.Phil
If you get only NET, you need to be lucky to do P.HD and you will have to do M.Phil

You need to secure at least JRF to do P.HD directly after graduation. If you get only NET then you will need to be really lucky to get a seat for P.HD. If you get only NET you will have to go through M.Phil COurse mwork for 2 yrs before getting a spot in P.HD.

It also depends on your University. The more professors with free slots, higher the chance for you to get a spot for P.HD
