What are the benefits of doing a PhD after a course in CS?

In India, Ph.Ds operate in a three-tiered system, commencing with an undergraduate Bachelor's degree, followed by postgraduate Master's and Ph.D degrees. In some cases, candidates can do Ph.D without doing post graduation too, but they will usually be required to complete a larger coursework component when enrolling for a PhD. So, you can choose what you want to do. Good news for CSs: There are some universities in India which have recognised the Company Secretaryship qualification as equivalent to postgraduate degree for pursuing Ph.D. Sardar Patel Universit-Gujarat, South Gujarat University-Surat, Maharishi Dayanand University-Haryana, Guru Nanak Dev University-Punjab, Punjab University-Chandigarh, Nagpur University-Maharashtra, etc., are a few names of who have recognized CS course as PG so you can go there to do Ph.D. If I talk about benefits then you can get yourself an opportunity to go into academics and research part abroad. Even in India, if you get a good opportunity, you can enter into academics as it is also a highly rewarding career. As far as any other job is concerned, the only thing is you get the highest respect of being a Ph.D. As the financial rewards grow only with your experience. I hope this would suffice.

Ph.D in any field by itself has no scope. Ph.D is not a course that you should pursue to get a job. It is a course that needs to be done with a lot of thought as it is after a lot of work experience that you will be able to get the benefits of a Ph.D. Ph.D is considered as the highest expertise on a topic. So, after Ph.D, you will not go out looking for jobs but is rather content with sharing knowledge and giving opinions. This is apparent from what almost all doctorates do. An individual with a Ph.D degree either works as a Principal/Dean or sought-after (executive/non-executive) Director or has a booming practice in his/her chosen field. Hence, if your goal as a CS is to start a practice then yes, after your practice reaches a certain point, you can pursue a Ph.D for further recognition and knowledge. So, it is recommended that you pursue a doctorate after at least 45 years of post-qualification work experience. All in all, it is recommended for a CS to pursue a Ph.D, but not in their early stages of employment/practice/career. It has to be for professional advancement rather than a career-oriented decision.
