Aliah University, located in Kolkata, West Bengal, offers various academic programs, including Ph.D. programs. However, as of my last update, Aliah University primarily focuses on regular (on-campus) Ph.D. programs and does not explicitly offer distance Ph.D. programs. If you are interested in pursuing a Ph.D. through distance learning, you may need to explore other universities or institutions that specifically offer distance education for doctoral programs.
