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.
