Yes, you are eligible for Ph.D course because you have completed MBA degree.

Those candidates who have completed masters degree from a recognized university are eligible for Ph.D entrance exam. General and OBC candidates should hold 55% and above marks in masters degree. For SC/ST candidate its 50% and above in masters degree.

Your age should be below 28 years for JRF post.

The minimum qualification required for Ph.D admission is Master's degree with at least 55% marks in a relevant discipline from a recognized University. For reserved category there is relaxation of 5% marks according to government rules.

You have to apply according to the notification released by the University. You have to appear for entrance exam and interview for admission. If you have NET/SLET/GATE/JRF score then you don't have to appear for entrance exam stage. Therefore, just wait for the notification and apply according to it.

There are many types of PhD courses, the education qualification requirement varies from one course to another course. To apply for any Ph.D course, candidate should have completed Master's degree in relevant field or in the stream, which was specified by university. So, we can tell you the exact qualification requirement only if you can specify PhD course. And I can tell you that, you are eligible to pursue some PhD courses, as a candidate who have completed MBA. Following are some of the PhD courses after MBA.
->PhD in Business
->PhD in management
