Hi,    Yes, MPhil after your MA will make you eligible to apply for Lecturer positions at Universities and colleges in India. MPhil is an ideal route to get into an academic career. However, you may have to clear either NET/ SET tests to be eligible to apply for a teaching position in Universities or colleges in India. Just an MPhil degree alone wouldn't be sufficient for a lecturership. NET exams are conducted twice annually in India, and the upcoming exam date will be on 22nd Jan 2017. It will be conducted across 90 locations in India and in case you have already applied for a

Dear aspirant,  Yes, of course you are eligible to do an MPhil in English from DU after your M.A in english by distance education. It's the ideal route of taking up an MPhil right after your M.A. If you are interested in an academic career, or interested in research; doing an MPhil is the wise option.  However, I would instead suggest you take up a PhD in English, right after your M.A instead of wasting two years in your MPhil program. A PhD will be more rewarding for your academic career and you will also be eligible for getting a stipend while you are studying for PhD in English.&n

Dear aspirant,  MBA is a professional course and I don't really understand why you have chosen to study an MPhil after your MBA. MPhil is usually done as a track course for studying a PhD, or to get a lectureship at Universities and colleges. Studying for an MPhil in Commerce will let you apply for Lecturer positions, and even for that you will have to be NET qualified.  You need to ask yourself what your career aspirations are. Probably take up the psychometric assessment on this website to help you narrow down your interests. It may help you a lot in understanding your career inter

This is more of a work on the lines of strategic management side of an organization. If you do an MBA very early on in your career, as you are planning now, then you are almost compromising on the technology s

Hello, This is indeed an excellent combination and in fact, I have taken up the same route.
