Ph.D

The answer to your question would depend on which subject you have done Ph.D. from and what kind of organisation would you like to join as a professor.
Please provide this information, to get a better answer.

Dear Rehbar,
After clearing the NET exam without a Ph.D, you can become an assistant professor, not a professor. If you have a good work experience like 8-15 years experience in the teaching field, you can become an associate professor.
All the best for your future.

Hi Parag, firstly you should contact some universities and find out if they will consider PGDM for entry into a Ph.D programme. Many universities don't. In that case, they will tell you the requirements. You have to research randomly like contact universities in USA, Australia, New Zealand, UK, etc. and enquire.

Look at your area of interests. It completely depends on you. Talking about IRMA if you are looking for the rural segment, then IRMA can be suggested.

For admission in Ph.D. firstly you need to have an M.Phil. Degree and a Post-Graduate degree in a relevant discipline with minimum 55 percent marks (50 percent marks for SC/ST/PH candidates) or an equivalent grade from a university or a recognised institution of higher learning.

Can you please specify in which field do you wish to do your Ph.D?

No, there is no upper age limit to do Ph.D in management. It is better suggested that you should clear UGC NET first and then go for Ph.D. You may take admission in Ph.D without it, but try to clear NET with the continuation of Ph.D.

Here are some best colleges for Ph.D. in rural development:
1.Arul Anandar college, Karmathur (Tamil Nadu )
2.Dr.BR Ambedkar University (Andhra Pradesh)
3. IGNOU (Delhi)
4. university of Science and Yechnology (Meghalaya).
