DESCRIPTION:Studies have indicated several misconceptions about Ph.D.\, its
  journey\, and opportunities post-Ph.D. This leads to students\, despite h
 aving the ability\, often not pursuing Ph.D. or many leaving India in sear
 ch of Ph.D. opportunities elsewhere. Likewise\, for young Ph.D. researcher
 s also\, it is important to clear misconceptions. We have embarked to addr
 ess this by directly engaging with students. Keeping this in mind\, in thi
 s talk\, I will walk the students through (1) What is Ph.D.\, (2) What the
  general myths related to Ph.D. are\, (3) Global opportunities\, in genera
 l\, post-Ph.D. in India\, (4) Why one should do Ph.D.\, and in the end (5)
  Who should peruse Ph.D. More details of the content can be found here (fi
