✅ First misconception is related to time taken in PhD. Students think that PhD may take more than 5 years after M. Tech. Actually the average time period after M Tech is 3.5 years. If work done in M Tech is good then students can complete their PhD in even 2.5 years.
✅ Normally students think that the only option after PhD is teaching, which is not true. Though teaching is one of the options but not the only option. Those who do really good in their PhD can get very good opportunities in the companies both India as well as abroad.
✅ PhD means not earning and lots of financial trouble. You need to understand that you can save upto Rs 25K per month in your PhD. This can be more than what you may save in job even if you earn Rs 50K per month.
In fact doing PhD in your domain of interest is the best thing in the career. But PhD must be done sincerely to get the benefit of this degree. One become highly specialist & expert after investing so many years of studies and research in PhD.
Many students who have done their M Tech and are good for academics must pursue their interest. PhD can be done both from India as well as abroad.
