🔍 About Ph.D. (Astrology) in India

In India, Jyotish (Astrology) is studied under traditional and UGC‑recognized programmes in some universities, especially those with Sanskrit/Vedic studies departments. The subject may be offered as Ph.D. (Jyotish / Astrology / Vedic Studies) through departments of Sanskrit or Vedanga studies in certain universities.

However, there is no authoritative complete official list of 20 government institutions solely offering Ph.D. in Astrology that is widely published by a central body like UGC or AICTE. The inclusion of astrology courses as regular university subjects was permitted by the UGC in the early 2000s to promote traditional knowledge systems (like Jyotirvigyan) at Indian universities.

Below is a representative list of Indian public (government/state/UGC‑recognized) universities and colleges where you can pursue advanced research related to Astrology (Ph.D./VidyaVridhi etc.) — some may offer Jyotish/related doctoral research depending on department approvals.
