Yes you can pursue PhD in Social Science after completing BTech. Earlier you could apply for PhD only after completing a master's degree. But now UGC has come up with new changes. As per these rules and regulations if you have completed a four year bachelor's degree then you can directly apply for PhD in any engineering, Science or humanities fields. Since, you have completed BTech which is a four year bachelor's degree you can apply for PhD in Social Science.

PhD in Social Work course is majorly theoretical and application oriented. As you may already know, PhD in Social Work is a research oriented study. When you do research, you will have to gather data, analyze it and draw insights from it. This process involves the use of various basic level statistical methods. That is why you will study statistics in this course. You will not be taught high level Statistics and you would not be expected to do complex calculations.

No, there is no age limit to pursue PhD in Social Work course. The UGC has set no age criteria to apply for this course. So, you can apply for the PhD in Social Work through UGC NET at any age. But there is a maximum age limit for JRF. So, if you want to pursue Fellowship then you should be less than 30 years of age. Age relaxation is available for female and those belonging to socially backward groups.
