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.

Hii,

If you have a Master's degree (such as an MA in History) with good grades (typically 55% or higher), you can be admitted directly to a PhD program in history. If you have passed exams like the UGC NET/JRF or have an MPhil, some universities will admit you directly without an entrance exam.

Interviews are also used by some private universities to determine admission. For precise guidelines, always visit the university's website. Being selected is also aided by having a strong topic idea and a keen interest in the research.
