Hello,

There are universities like Christ University offering PhD in Management, candidates with good enough marks don't need to appear for any entrance exams, they are directly called for the interview, other than this qualifying UGC NET helps in the sense most of the colleges conduct entrance exam for admission, and those who are already NET qualified can skip this step, they are directly called for interview where of course there are various parameters in terms of weightage is assigned such as academic scores, publications etc, you will be asked to a presentation on the topic in which you're interested to pursue research.
