Yes, you are elgiible for Phd course. There are is no age limit for Phd course. But, you are ineligible to apply for JRF Post. You have passed master degree course and below the age of 28 years. Since, you have reached 32 years so you are ineligible to apply for JRF exam. You have chance to take in Lecturer post through UGC NET entrance exam. There is no age limit needed for Lectureship.
