I am an M.A. in English Literature postgraduate with 47% marks. Can I do PhD in English? If not, then how can I improve my marks? Please reply as soon as possible.

No, you can't do PhD with 47% marks in M.A. For doing PhD you have to complete your post graduation with minimum of 55% marks. If you want to improve your marks then you can do M.A. once again. But right now you are not eligible for PhD course. Thanks

No, with just 47% marks you will not be eligible for Ph.D admission in India. You need at least 55% marks in MA to become eligible. In case of reserved category, 50% marks is enough after relaxation.

For improvement exams one has to apply after the result is announced for semester or year. It will be difficult to improve now, if result was announced long time back. You can only improve by pursuing any other MA degree.

Your post graduation marks is below 55%, so you are not eligible for Ph.D in English.

Eligibility criteria for Ph.D course:-

1)Those candidates who have completed masters from a recognized university with above 55% marks are eligible for Ph.D course.

2)There are no age criteria for Ph.D course.
