West Bengal has moved to streamline the admission process for PhD programmes across state-aided and private universities, with institutions being asked not to conduct separate university-level entrance tests for the upcoming academic session.
The Department of Higher Education, Government of West Bengal, has directed universities and aided institutions to use scores from national-level examinations such as UGC-NET, UGC-CSIR NET, GATE and CEED, along with an interview, for PhD admissions.
The directive was issued on August 3, 2026, with the state government saying the move is aimed at bringing greater uniformity, transparency and consistency to PhD admissions.
