Admission to Ph D

摘要

A sincere student, who has the intention of becoming a good researcher, has to face several unnecessary situations at present. Generally, in our country the academic pathway for Ph D is first an undergraduate degree, then a master's degree. For each of these transitions, the student has to write an entrance examination. This procedure is good, but sometimes, a student, even well prepared for the entrance examination and having good knowledge of the concerned subject, is unable to perform this transition either from bachelor's to master's degree or from master's degree to doctoral degree due to hurdles in the admission procedure. In several institutes of our country, a part of admission to master's degree or doctoral degree is not based on the knowledge of the student. Admissions are granted in two categories: (i) 'General category' and (ii) 'Reservation category' (Scheduled caste, Scheduled tribe, Physically handicapped, etc.). The institutes prepare rank lists separately for each. In the field of science, where knowledge is most needed, there is no need for this type of category-based admission. Such an admission can be permitted for reservation categories at the time of their entry to undergraduate programmes. But for master's degree and doctoral degree there is no need for this type of category-based admission as the environment of the students both of general category and reservation category is the same during college education.
