We estimate the duration of star formation in young clusters of the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds (SMC and LMC). It is estimated as the dierence between Post- main sequence (Post-MS) age and Pre- main sequence (PMS) age. The present study aims to determine the PMS ages of clusters by combining the optical and near-IR data. Prelimnary results of this study on 2 clusters in the SMC and clusters in the LMC are presented here.
