Hello guys,
I have done M.A. in Sanskrit and
I want to pursue PhD in Sanskrit.
Kindly tell me that what entrance exam
is there fr admission? I am doing my M.A.
from Lucknow University. I want to do PhD in BHU.
Kindly help me.

If you have got Master's degree in relevant discipline with at least 55% marks from a recognized University then you are definitely eligible for admission. For reserved category candidates there is relaxation of 5% marks and they need only 50% marks to become eligible for Ph.D admission in India.

Hence, if you have got your Master's degree in Sanskrit or its equivalent subject and a decent score in NET/SLET/JRF then you can apply for admission directly when the notification is released. Most of the Universities conduct their own entrance exam also for admission in Ph.D program and you can apply for them also.
