Direct admission to a PhD in History is usually not possible without meeting certain requirements. Generally, you need to have a master’s degree in History or a related subject and clear an entrance exam or interview conducted by the university. Some universities may offer direct admission if you have a strong academic record or research experience, but this is rare. It’s best to check the specific university’s PhD admission rules and prepare accordingly for exams or interviews to get admission.

Hi aspirant,

Direct admission to a PhD in History without an entrance exam is not a common practice in most reputable Indian colleges .

1. Even with entrance test scores, an interview or viva voce is nearly always part of the selection process.
2. Some schools may provide "direct mode" admissions to specific types of candidates, such as those who have already received national fellowships or are externally supported for their PhD.
3. It is recommended to directly contact the colleges/universities you are interested in for latest and up-to-date information regarding the same.

All the best!
