PhD students need to do course work. In earlier days, it was not necessary. As the institutes started regular programs with high scholarships, it was made mandatory by UGC. Course work is of six months long having 4 to 6 subjects. Research methodology is the main staple of this course. Now a days, people include ethics related subjects too. Apart from these general subjects, you have subjects related to your topics which you wish to pursue for laying ground work. For regular students, attending course work is not problem but part timers have to take leave from the employers for attending classes and appearing exams. This is where it gets a little bit problem. This is the general pattern in most of the state & central universities. In some organizations, there may be a little bit of difference.
The course work is not difficult because research methodology and other ethics related subjects are theory type. If you can remember things, it should not be problem. On the other hand, subjects of your domain will be more or less exposed to you during your graduation and master. It will be more like revise. So, you are required to put little effort. In some organizations, these domain related subjects may be in difficult level . People get backlogs also.
