    Well, the entrance exams for pursuing a PhD degree are seen to be highly competitive, with fewer seats available at top universities as opposed to the large number of applicants. Further, the success rate differs on the basis of the particular exam you're taking, the university you're eyeing, and the specialisation you're interested in.

    In general, getting admission to PhD courses is no cakewalk and requires you to have a strong academic hold on the discipline, excellent research knowledge and potential, and a compelling research proposal.
