I don;t think that is necessary as one cannot determine the capability of a student through that.

The age of the Master is not defined as a doctorate

Greeting

I do not think so. But it depends on the regulations in different universities.

So much thanks to my respected colleagues, in the light of Dr Segun Michael Abegunde , Dr. Zainab A. Makawi , Dr. Rama I. Ali . for your immense contributions.

Its based on the university you will enroll Ph.D. But most of the university not see that.

Yes I believe so. You cant earn Masters degree 20 years ago and you are just embarking on PhD degree

The age of the master's certificate should not not be a yardstick for admission into a Ph.D program instead the Candidate's depth of knowledge in his research area should be considered

I don't think so. Most of the universities don't count the age of researcher but again it depends on the university.

I don't think so, because there is nothing in the world someone can use to quantify mental wealth.

Thanks for your valuable responses Dr Ayoola E. Akindele , Dr. Parkash Tambare , Dr. Afolabi Awodeyi , Dr. Olawale Samuel Fatoba , Dr. Yuvaraj .M , Dr. Ivan David Lozada-Martinez , Dr. Paul Olusegun Bankole .

In a globalized world where human rights have been placed on a respectable pedestal, age should not be an impediment to the enrollment in a given PhD program. Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave.

no if a young researcher is up to the mark why age should be considered
