First of all, as far in my knowledge, you cannot do PhD in Commerce at all. You can do PhD only in the subject you have specialization or you have awarded Post Graduate degree by any UGC listed AICTE approved University/College in India.

If you have qualified NET in HRM, do apply for PhD in HRM (where there is HRM department) or do PhD in Business Administration selecting any topic of your interest (if you want it to be a HR topic, you may do the same).
