Should you pick Ph.D. Anthropology at UOH?
This course suits students who want research, fieldwork and teaching more than a quick campus job.
Pick it if:
You want a research name: UOH is #18 in NIRF University ranking 2025 and is known for postgraduate research.
You have MA Anthropology: the department asks for 55% marks, so check this before filling the form.
You need a campus hostel: UOH has 23 hostels, but rooms are given only if seats are free.
Your fee budget is small: the full fee without hostel is INR 63,480, much less than many private research courses.
Skip it if:
You want quick campus hiring: Ph.D. Anthropology is research first, and only 12% is shown in the PG placement data.
You live near campus: hostel rules say students within 50 km are not considered for rooms.
You do not have a proposal: the interview checks your research idea, so weak proposal work can hurt you.
You need a fixed job figure: UOH does not publish course-wise average pay for this Ph.D. course.
Counsellor's advice
If you want research or teaching, take this seat after checking your supervisor fit. If you need a job fast, choose a job-linked PG course.

In short
Delhi University costs less, but UOH pays a little more on the PG median used here. If both call you, pick by supervisor fit; if only UOH calls, take this seat.
In short
Pondicherry costs more and pays less, but it has one extra seat. If your score clears UOH, keep UOH above it; if not, use Pondicherry as the safer option.
In short
Calcutta costs less and has the same seat count, while UOH pays more on the PG median. If supervisor fit is similar, keep UOH higher.
In short
Pune costs less but pays less on the numbers shown here. If you need the lower fee, compare supervisors first; otherwise keep UOH higher.
In short
JNU has one extra seat and a lower fee, while UOH shows higher pay here. If both shortlist you, choose the supervisor and field site first.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on University of Hyderabad Ph.D. Anthropology
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is Ph.D. Anthropology at this college worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without hostel is INR 63,480 and the last batch averaged INR 6.36 LPA, so the fee comes back within the first working year. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block above before you decide.
Should I take this seat if my rank is just above the closing rank?▾
Not on last year's number alone. The General General seat closed at rank 62 in final list and it got tougher three years in a row, so a rank that just cleared last year may miss this year. Keep this college in your list with a safer college above it, and use the rank checker above for your own category.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students get research, teaching and field roles with research projects and teaching roles that hire on campus in the seventh semester. The Class of 2025 averaged INR 6.36 LPA, the median was INR 6 LPA and 12% of the batch was placed. If you want a field research role instead, this course is not the right pick.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a single room from the first year, or if you want internships in a big city. First-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3. The campus is in a large campus in Hyderabad, so the placement cell brings most internships and few come on their own. If either of these matters more than the placement figures, pick a city college.
Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾
Yes, if you plan for it from year 2. The course has no minor and no specialisation before year 3, but the electives in year 3 to year 6 cover field methods and social theory, and the thesis work can lead to a research paper. Talk to the department in year 2 about a project with a faculty member, because that is what a good master's application needs.
Should I wait a year and try for a better rank?▾
Only if you can raise your rank by a lot, not a little. The General closing rank got tougher three years in a row, so a small gain may still miss the seat next year. If you already clear this year's cutoff, take the seat now and try a course change after year 1 if you want a sibling course.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 12% of the last batch was placed, and the median of INR 6 LPA is lower than the average of INR 6.36 LPA because the last students take the smaller offers. Keep your CGPA above the cutoff the companies set, usually 7, and join the placement training the cell holds in year 3.
Is this course better than Sociology at this college for me?▾
Pick Anthropology if you want a software job and Sociology if you want a field research role. Anthropology places a bigger share of its batch with product companies, and its closing rank is the tougher of the two. If you get Sociology now and want Anthropology, the course change after year 1 needs a top CGPA, so do not count on it.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Take the UoH entrance exam and fill this college in your UoH admission portal form list. A seat comes in the list your rank clears, and you must accept it and pay the seat fee within the days UoH admission portal gives. Then report with your papers on the date in the admission dates block above, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 6-year fee is INR 63,480 without hostel. With hostel fee it comes to INR 71,580. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the hostel adds each year.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. You pay the tuition fee semester by semester, so the money is never due all at once. If you need smaller parts than that, write to the fee office before the semester starts; the request opens every August.
Do I get the fee back if I drop the seat?▾
It depends on when you leave. If you leave before the counselling body's exit date, most of the fee comes back. If you leave after it, the college keeps a part, so read the refund table in the fee block before you pay.
