Ask & Answer: India's Largest Education Community

Madhusudhan.I studied MBA in UK and I am now working in NHS (National Health Service), UK's largest public sector healthcare organisation. I never went to any consultancy. I got all the information I needed regarding studying in UK and about IELTS from The British Council. I directly contacted the British council (instead of consultancies) inorder to save money which I badly needed to take with me to UK. I can say with 100% certainty that whichever country you want to go to study, you can get all the information you need from the country's embassy or consulate. There are staff members specifically employed to advice prospective students. All you have to do is to study and write the required tests (like TOEFL, IELTS, GMAT or GRE). Consultancies are there to make money taking advantage of the naivety of prospective students. This is my opinion. But the choice is yours. Give me a thumbs up if I have answered your question.

Hi Kusum,
In order to pursue PHD from US universities, first all you need to 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 :(though it may vary from university to university)
In majority of the institutes, Master's Degree is an essential pre-requisite for a Ph.D. while others admit graduates too.
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.
The annual expenses of most Ph.D. students are about $28,000-$40,000 per year.
There are some universities which offer scholarships and grants to international students for pursuing PHD.
I hope this answers your query.
