Скачать или смотреть My FIRST PhD Class | Know every details | Part- Time Phd in India

I recently started my Part-Time PhD in India, and in this video, I’m sharing my first day PhD experience; from the unique class culture (students and teachers addressing each other as “Sir/Ma’am”) to the diverse batch profile (faculty with 20+ years’ teaching experience learning alongside fresh PhD scholars).

You’ll also learn the difference between PhD vs DBA, why PhD is not online (even an Executive/Part-Time PhD requires offline exams, presentations, and campus presence), the complete PhD admission process, fees starting from around ₹2.5 lakh, and how I finally chose my University.

Whether you’re a working professional, academician, or corporate leader confused between PhD and DBA, this breakdown will help you understand the real structure, requirements, and outcomes of a PhD in India.
