In order to qualify for a Ph.D in a particular field, you gotta have a Master's degree in the corresponding field or area of study, and also you need to get a high score to bolster ur chances. If you're in India, then you might have to take UGC examination too -- I am not sure about the exact name of the test -- and then apply to all those Universities that offer Ph.D in that area. Also, be prepared to be turned down, and I am not saying this to discourage you, but when there are a lot of candidates, the competition is tough, and also look at the program thoroughly and talk to people who are enrolled in it to get their feedback about the school as well as the faculty or advisors... basically what I mean to say is do your homework before you go out looking for the schools or Ph. D programs, so that you are prepared with the right questions and queries. Also, see what kind of stipend they offer and where the students have landed after graduating.
Hope this helps and good luck with your endeavor!

Well there is a lightbulb joke that goes: How many doctoral graduate students does it take to change a lightbulb?
Answer: One, but it takes ten years.
So my first answer about how to do a Ph. D. is you do is slowly.
First you go to college. Then you have to decide in what subject you want to do graduate work. Ususally, this is related to your undergraduate degree in some way. If not, you will likely have to take some additional prerequisate undergrad courses. At this point you can either apply for a masters program or go straight into doctoral studies. There is usually a language requirement, so keep that in mind. As you go along in your coursework, you will then have to zero in on a topic for your dissertation. Sometimes a teacher in the program may be able to suggest an idea. The dissertation will involve original research. It is my impression that "original" means different things in different disciplines. In history, for instance, it might mean dealing with some historical event that no one has written about before, or possibly using a set of documents which no one has used before to do an analyze some well known event. In psychology and education, on the other hand, a dissertation often involves constructing some scenario, observing a set of people dealing with that situation, and writing up the results with an analysis.
You will then have to "defend" your thesis before a committee of professors. You might also have to take an oral examination covering the courses you have taken. Good luck.

Get the money. Universities are only interested in that, and not your education.
