What Is The Hindi Term And Full Form Of PhD? Quora Users Answer – News18

We use some terms daily in our lives but are completely unaware of their real meaning. Similarly, we often use abbreviations, whose full form we aren’t aware of. There are times when we use an English word frequently, but are clueless when it comes to its Hindi version. Today, we will talk about one such abbreviation — whose Hindi word, as well as full form, are not known by many. We are talking about the short form: PhD. Let us find out more about this abbreviation today.

PhD is an educational term, which is often considered the highest degree in any subject.

Recently, a social media user asked about the word on the online platform Quora. The user asked: What is PhD called in Hindi? You will start scratching your head after hearing this question because many people hardly know its full form, let alone the Hindi term.

In our country, even today, the population of Hindi-speaking people is very high. Even though people in cities have acquired a good knowledge of English by studying in English medium schools, there is no shortage of Hindi speakers. But Hindi speakers are also not aware of many Hindi terms. Some users in Quore, however, gave the correct answer. The users said that PhD in Hindi is called Vidyavachaspati.

Now, coming to PhD’s full form – it is Doctor of Philosophy. PhD is a type of Doctorate and it focuses on academics and research. It is basically a doctoral research degree. Generally, it takes around four to six years to complete a PhD degree. It can be completed in less time, only if one has good management skills, and can work hard with full dedication. After acquiring a PhD, one can apply to be a professor. One can also work in the private sector or with the government.

To be eligible to apply for the PhD, a candidate must have obtained a Master’s degree in Engineering/Technology/Science or in any discipline of Science or Humanities. Moreover, PhD eligibility criteria depend as per the universities’ rules and the nature of the research topic.
