No, after completion of PGDM course you can't apply for Ph.D course.

The educational qualification required for Ph.D course 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 Ph.D exam.

Your age should be below 28 years.

First of all you must be clear that PGDM is not a degree but a diploma qualification. You need a masters degree with at least 55% marks to become eligible for PH.D admission in a UGC recognized university in India.

Therefore, you are not eligible for PH.D because you don't have masters degree qualification. For PH.D admission post graduation degree is a must in India for admission.

Can I apply for PhD after completing PGDM(F) from AICTE and approved college ??
