Best way to doing PhD in India is first you do a job like teacher or assistance professor by clearing NET and then doing your PhD by your own expenses and thank you sir for your guidance jay shree krishna ❤️

[@RakeshKumar-oh3qr]

Right 👍

[@shubhamdas4154]

Amazing video bhai💙...this will help a lot of people to make wise decisions

[@sM-db9ip]

Very informative video!! Thanks a lot! Would look forward to more such videos

[@krishnendukundu6446]

One of my professor said in bengali "Khali pete Research Hoy na "" u can't do your research in empty stomach.

[@deepikapatra4832]

Hello Sir, this is deepika patra has a query as already I have said about studying in Germany, I have completed master in course based,so can it be possible for applying for master in Research . ( Mresearch) course, before applying for Phd. Because for phd responses are not coming well so thinking of applying research course.

[@adambill1038]

Kindly make a video about Social Sciences for PhD

[@riyadey8881]

Hlw sir I completed my Masters in Microbiology. Then I have worked as project fellow on fish breeding background.. Now I want to do my PhD relevant to my field in Germany. Is there any chances of selection?

[@anuragparasharsarmah1045]

These are elimination exams rather than being a selection exam.

[@durdamscatalogue]

Yes. That's right

[@risanatarajan]

Moreover, it's the phD interview that tests on ones research abilities. These fellowship exams test ones subject knowledge but it's the holistic thing that should be considered. While it's good to posses subject knowledge it's important to possess the aptitude for research. Sharing my experience, I have recently made it through the written exam and interview at BITS Hyderabad campus. My interview had panel faculty members testing me more on problem solving than theory

[@vinodviswam4437]

Thanks y valuable contribution the U gc wrong decion decided to assis profo qlification combell PhD it is a large scam in India ls appeal to u gc thanks vinodviswam kerala

[@deepali1708]

I have seen one girl my lab,she has csir-net JRF but she knows nothing.

[@durdamscatalogue]

I have seen and worked with many such people. Unfortunately, this is the situation and clearing csir-net does not mean that you have good research aptitude.

[@aditisingh1473]

Hii sir, Your vedios are really helpful for every student. I have a question as I have completed my Masters in biotechnology from PU, India So I am looking for PhD positions abroad As I have just completed my masters in August and results are not yet out and I have not joined any lab also. I am just preparing for csir net and gate exams .. Can i get selected as PhD student without any extra job or lab experience?

[@durdamscatalogue]

Sure, you can get a PhD position right after your master without any extra experience. What would matter most is how much research work have you done during your MSc. You need to start working to prepare a Scientifically relevant Motivation Letter and Cover Letter. There are several students who have landed a PhD position in Abroad just after their MSc. They all had one thing in common. They did extensive research work and internships during their Master's. And I am glad that you found my videos informative. Thanks.

[@aditisingh1473]

Okay, Thanks for the information 😌

[@hariprabukrishnasamynaidug3629]

17:35 What really 5k or 8k salary for the PhD?? I've seen most university paying nearly 20k. I never heard of 😕

[@durdamscatalogue]

Unfortunately, it's true. I would not name the University here. But in many Universities it is the case.

[@gateaspirant2383]

@@durdamscatalogue All central universities pay 8k without CSIR NET.

[@anshitagarg6399]

​@@durdamscatalogue No it's not a complete truth....if u get through net then stipend is 8 k and if u crack jrf then it is 40k....also if u crack jrf during phd then your net stipend will convert to Jrf stipend

[@ritwikmandal1928]

Can i leave my phd in India and move abroad to start afresh

[@durdamscatalogue]

Well if you are in your 1st year, then sure you can think of starting fresh and applying for positions abroad. But if you are in 3rd or 4th year then I would not recommend to start fresh. In that case I suggest to finish your PhD and try for postdoctoral in abroad.

[@ritwikmandal1928]

@@durdamscatalogue actually I have cleared dbt jrf this year but yet to join a Institute for enrollment. So that's why I asked and i am also preparing for ielts now

[@durdamscatalogue]

@@ritwikmandal1928 In that case, sure you can think of moving to aboard for your PhD. But keep in mind a timeline. Try to land a position by the end of the year or within the 1st quater of 2023.

[@ritwikmandal1928]

@@durdamscatalogue I have zero publication in master graduated in 2021 (covid batch) and cgap is around 7.15 do I have a fair chance for foreign university?

[@lalatarunkumarray3403]

@@ritwikmandal1928 so you clearing your masters in covid batch mine bachelors is covid batch if you clear DBT JRF in my opinion you do your PhD in India and later you go for post doc for abroad I'm a life science student also can we connected for career queries

[@powerisme7551]

So what you are saying ki phd Bahar say kro

[@durdamscatalogue]

There are limitations of doing PhD in India and also depends on your subject and equipment/facility availability. But in US or Europe, the financial stability is much better.

[@quantumboy48]

Bhai lekin aap log foreign se phd karne ke bad India me job ke liye apply q krte ho... Wahi per job kiya Karo na jab India me kuch nhi hai to

[@durdamscatalogue]

Brother I am not saying that there is nothing in India. In the field of research you need exposure to grow. It is recommended to go abroad and gain experience. Coming back to India is very subjective. Many come back for their family, as it is very difficult to get the whole family settled abroad. Some come back because they feel integrated in the society much more in India than in abroad. Being in the field of research and to be one of the best in it, means that you will basically live in many places throughout your life. Imagine if no one comes back to India after their PhD, what will happen to the research community in India. It won't grow. Therefore, it is a benefit to both sides. You ask any scientist in any elite institute in India, almost all of them will recommend you to go abroad for some years to gain exposure and experience. I hope this clarifies your comment.
