Hello


Thanks for visiting us at CareerGuide.com!!!

Good to hear on your interest in studying a PhD. May I know what were your prior qualifications to MCA and the respective percentages in it? There is a set of rules that every canddiate needs to follow up if they want to apply for a PhD study. I shall explain to you the procedure here.


Basic eligibility criteria:To study a PhD in any subject, Indian studnets need to follow a 10+2+3+2 route or 10+2+4+2 route, which explains you need to study 10th,12th, a three year bachelors degree or a four year bachelors degree and subsequently a masters degree, which is again either a three year program or a four year program. Therefore with your case, please check if you have completed 10, 12, a bachelors degree in regular and have also obtained a minimum of first class percentage in each of these education level. As you have completed a three year MCA degree, this keeps you well qualified to apply for a PhD.

Competitive exams required:Now you need to prepare and qualify a national level exam known as UGC NET. This exam is the basic eligibility criteria apart from the education route mentioned above. So ideally you are required to pass UGC NET in Computer science subject. With this UGC NET you can apply for a PhD.

PhD in?Now you need to select on what program you want to do your PhD in. I am not sure what your Bcahelors is, but as you have completed a masters in Computer Application, I propose you should be eligible to study a PhD in computer science applications subject. Not every university in India might have PhD in computer applications but they might have PhD in Computer science, and you can tailor your PhD research topic to applications if you would like.


PhD research topic:In India, I dont think so you need to be read with a PhD topic or a research proposal while you are sending your study application. However, all PhD students will have an interview and in that you may be asked, what are you interested in and what are of Computer science you want to research in your PhD. To answer this, you may have to think of some ideas on where you are interested in doing your PhD. To give you a tip, you can explain your MCA project and also wish to develop it further for a PhD level. Alternatively if you are interested in researching some other topic, you need to read plenty of journals and articles in that area, gain understanding of current happenings in the industry, understand what has been researched and what has been not researched yet. So when you identify a topic that you believe needs further exploration, you can quote this as your intended PhD topic. To be honest, only foreign universities expect a 15 page research proposal but Indian universities usually dont. But it is good to have some pre conceived idea on where you wanted to do a PhD.

Universities: If you like to do a PhD in IIT, then you need to have qualified GATE with a very good percentage and rank. If you want to study else where then you need to have cleared UGC NET ( www.ugcnetonline.in/) score. IIT Kharagpur ( www.iitkgp.ac.in/topfiles/phd_pdf_top.php), IIT Delhi ( www.iitd.ac.in/research_abstracts) and IIT Kanpur ( www.iitk.ac.in/ime/phd/admission.html) are very famous for computer science research and along with it BITS Pilani ( www.bits-pilani.ac.in/university/AcademicResearch/Overview) is equally well to do university for research in computer science.

I hope I have clarified your questions and if there is anything else please contact us back. Good luck.
