The minimum eligibility required to pursue PhD in Mathematics is that the candidate must hold Master's Degree in Mathematic with at least 55% marks from a recognised University of India.
Hence, you will be eligible to pursue Ph.D after completion of MSc in Mathematics course but you will have to qualify the entrance test such as UGC NET or UGC CSIR.
