Things to consider before going for a PhD | Part 1 | IIT prof's advice

Students need to consider a lot of issues before deciding to go for a PhD. While there are many resources giving advice to students just starting out on their PhD or for those students who wish to go abroad from India, there are not many resources giving guidance to Indian students who are thinking of doing a PhD in India itself. Therefore in this video I cover the issues spanning across job prospects, stipend, and marriage that students should seriously think about before deciding to go for a PhD in India.

This video is part of a YouTube playlist where I give various general advice to students at different levels (Bachelor, Master, PhD):
