If you are a bright studious student, you do not have to worry. You clear GATE, entrance exams and interviews to be enrolled in a class one institute like IITs, IISC, IISERs, or Reserch Institutes run by Government bodies. Then, you have state run universities or organizations and deemed universities where you can go for Ph.D. There is a vast difference between these two types. In the first type, you do not have to worry about scholarship and research facilities at all while in the second type you have to manage and hustle during your course. Many such institutes even do not give scholarships or its very meagre in amount. Above all, you can go for overseas to do PhD. While doing so, you have to keep in mind that there is no turning back because facilities back home will never entice you.
