Phd in US
by Saradakanth on Aug 05, 2006 10:58 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Hi Rediff-Panel Members,

First of all let me tell you that it's good to see clear cut answers to almost all questions.

My acads are 10th(88%),Inter(86%),Bsc computer science(75%), MCA (74%).

I have been working in Cognizant, India for 2+ yrs and now in US for about 1+ months time on a short term project.



I like more of a research kind of work where in I need to ask questions to a lot of people find answers , consolidate them, find missed stuff, and arrive decisions. So I am thinking it would be good if I do a Ph.D. in US.

Could you please help me out in this regard and let me know if my decision is correct. Or suggest anything else. I'am open to any criticism/suggestions on this mail.

If Ph.D. is correct, What are the things I need to do. What exams and what scores I need to obtain. Where to look for the details of those exams and Can we write them online. What visa to convert to and how? Please note that I am in US on a L1-visa.



Thanks in advance for your help

Looking anxiously for your replies.

Sarada Kanth

Yes, it seems you are right preson for PhD.

You have to get good GRE and TOEFL scores.

You cant give them online. Go to www.ets.org for information.

If you need financial assistance you have to convert it to F1 student visa.
