M.Phil. was a pre-doctoral research degree. It is included here for reference, but its current status should be understood before treating this as an active admission route.

What this means for a prospective student
UGC's 2022 Ph.D. regulations, implementing the structure set out in NEP 2020, discontinued fresh M.Phil. admissions across disciplines from the 2022-23 academic session onward. A Master's degree followed directly by Ph.D. admission is the current pathway; an M.Phil. earned before this change remains a valid qualification.
