Hi,
In order to pursue Phd, from universities abroad, you need to first of all make a list of the universities that you aspire for, then send emails to respective course department, asking them to provide you the eligibility criteria and selection procedure for PHD students.
It may take three to six years to complete your PHD, depending on the field you select and your mentor.
The general eligibility criteria for PHD students are as follows:
In majority of the institutes, Master's Degree is an essential pre-requisite for a Ph.D.
It is important that you have good scores in common entrance tests such as GRE and English Language examinations like TOEFL.
Internships or other work experience will add to your qualifications
Ph.D. course work essentially includes research and documentation work. This requires large amounts of money. In addition to this, you have to consider living expenses for the entire duration of the course. The annual expenses of most Ph.D. students are about $28,000-$40,000 per year
I hope this answers your query.

Hi Arpita,
US does not recognize a dental degree from India. The person must complete DDS from USA and be licensed through one of the boards (eastern, california, etc.) to be able to practice .Colleges which offer Advanced Standing Program (DDS/DMD) to foreign trained dentists require at least NDEB Part I. Most of the dental schools which offer this program require at least 83%.Foreign dental students can get into the Advanced Placement program of DDS wherein they join in the 2nd year of the program.
Typically, yearly expenses are in the range of US $ 80,000 to one lakh dollar. So, a two year program will cost US $1,60,000 to US $200,000.
I hope this answers your query.

Hi Ankit,
As you have already done your MBA in marketing and want to switch over to Mass Comm, as a friend I would suggest you to think about this decision again as changing your field will not be the right decision as you might have to start from the scratch.
But as you have asked this question, I would like to answer the question for you. Mass comm is a very broad field and has a lot to offer such as Journalism, Direction, Production, Advertising, PR etc. As it will be difficult for me to explain to you all its domains, I am providing you with the article links so that you get a clear picture of the Mass Comm fields.

(Simply copy paste the urls in the address bar)
So, keeping in mind your previous qualification in Marketing, the best course that would suit you is Advertising and PR; wherein you will be taught about how to design a AD campaign for marketing a product and PR would help you with corporate communication as the PR acts as the face of the organization to its clients and is responsible for getting business for the organization.
Few good institutes are IIMC, MICA, XIC etc. For the list of more institutes, you may refer to the below link

Hope this helps
Thanks

Hi Akshay, as Shiksha is an education portal and believes in unbiased guidance so it would be purely unfair if I give my personal suggestion regarding any specific institute. And as far as placements are concerned I would say that no institute can guarantee you as it purely depends on your abilities. For detailed information, I would suggest you to contact the current students for feedback. For further help, I am sending you link of institutes, please refer to it.
