Hello,

Yes, GITAM University Hyderabad and Sreenidhi Institute of Science and Technology (SNIST) both offer PhD programs in English.

To pursue a PhD in English after completing your master's degree, you typically need to clear an entrance exam. Here are the common entrance exams for PhD in English:

1. UGC-NET (University Grants Commission-National Eligibility Test): This exam is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) to determine eligibility for PhD programs and assistant professorships.

2. JRF (Junior Research Fellowship): This exam is also conducted by NTA, and clearing it can lead to a fellowship for pursuing PhD research.

3. SET (State Eligibility Test): Some states conduct their own eligibility tests for PhD programs.

4. University-specific entrance exams: Some universities, like GITAM and SNIST, may conduct their own entrance exams for PhD admissions.

hope this helps,

Thank you
