3:26 The first point u mentioned is WRONG Having masters is NOT neccesary to apply for PhD in IITs. In engineering a BTech degree is considered equivalent to master's degree like MSc/MA degrees in basic science, arts or related fields

Can you please suggest IITs that are best for PhD in English? As per different academicians, IIT Mandi, IIT Dhandbad, IIT Roorkee aren't good in comparison to IITGN, IIT Madras or IIT Delhi etc. Can you please guide? How to know which IIT is better than the other IIT? Should I look for the NIRF Rankings of the IITs?

[@EnglishProf_Shaifali]

All IITs are great. My advice - Try to align you research interest with the research area of a faculty rather than looking for rankings.
