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!
