How to apply for a PhD in India
A PhD needs a strong interest in research and a good match with a supervisor.
- You normally need a masters degree in a relevant subject.
- Entrance routes include UGC NET JRF, CSIR NET, GATE and institute specific tests.
- Prepare a short research proposal and contact possible supervisors politely.
- Check fellowship options, since a PhD usually takes several years.
Read recent papers from the lab you want to join before you write to the professor.
