Hi All,

Can anybody help me, if I need to persue Doctoral Studies as I have completed by Company Secretary, what are the rules or guidelines for the same?

Can LCS be called as equivalent as masters to continue with Ph. D. studies?

Is there any restrictions on choosing the subject?

there is also a list of universities in the executive module prospectus of the universities which consider the cs programme as equivalent to master's degree .

Generally they provide a list of streams that are considered as ''related subjects '' to cs . it will be most likely that they will allow doctorate on any topic related to commerce stream .

Pune university accepts cs as a valid degree , you will only have to give entrance for the same
