PhD in India

SHOULD I GO TO US OR EUROPE FOR A MS/ PH.D?


This is a very common question that students, and their guardians ask us. Unfortunately in India, this question is a subset of a larger family of questions. All the questions are of the same format:
Should I go to US/Europe for *** ?

Here, *** can be anything starting from high school to undergraduate education to a vacation to even designer shoes. This is just dependent on the amount of money a person has. Traditionally, using imported materials has been a status symbol.  Even in the US, people make it a point to inform their guests that they have used Italian marble, fixtures from Belgium, and upholstery from Turkey. I am pretty sure that in Italy, Belgium, or Turkey, people pride themselves about goods from some other countries. This points to a basic feature of human psychology, i.e. every oddity is a style. Something that is foreign, obscure, and in some manner sounds remote, is reflective of opulence.

Why study for a PhD in India?

Historically, India has always been a major exporter of international students, but these days the country is also becoming an attractive destination for overseas study. As one of the five swiftly developing "BRICS" countries (along with Brazil, Russia and China) India has begun to emerge as an advanced centre for modern commerce, research and innovation. This economic growth has helped drive an incredible expansion in Indian higher education during the first decade of the 21st century: The number of universities in India has more than doubled since 2000 and its higher education system is now one of the largest in the world.
The range of PhD opportunities on offer in India reflects its combination of cutting edge innovation and vibrant traditional culture. Several of the country's top universities are becoming established as global hubs for scientific, technological and medical research, with the government keen to promote further progress in these areas. Meanwhile, PhD research in Arts and Humanities fields benefits from unique opportunities to study non-western philosophy, theology and culture in a country that has long been established as a hub of world cinema and literature. Whatever your specialism, you'll find plenty to take advantage of as a doctoral student in India.
