Generally, we all like to apply for the best institute for Ph.D. However, there are some other factors too. It depends on your mindset to great extent. 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.

Generally, people with research and development bent of mind prefer the first type because they are clear of their goal regarding academic career ahead. On the other hand, the second type is suitable for part timers. Some people do it simply for career advancement such as someone is working in a college, he or she needs a PhD degree to move up. There is exception too who may do exceptional work in such a tight set up.

There are two types of PhD programs; one is called regular in which one needs to be in the campus all the time and the other one is called part time program in which the students work remotely after being assigned to a guide.

If you are getting scholarship then you have to be a regular Ph.D student residing at the campus. You will be assigned some work during your stint at the campus. These works are academic in nature and helps to build some academic experience. On the other hand, part time Ph.D is suitable for working professional who cannot stay in the campus and can do the work remotely.

There is a general notion that regular students are able to finish the course early compared to part time one who can visit his /her guide occasionally. Some works needs to be done at campus under supervision of guide.

If you are a studious guy, Ph.D may be the last phase of educational journey. After graduation and masters in a particular field, you become eligible to enroll into a PhD. program. In India, there are central educational institutes (like IITs, IISc etc), central universities, state universities, reserch organizations under central or state government which offer Ph.D in different fields. For top central institutes, you must clear entrance exams like GATE in case of engineering stream. Once you have GATE, it becomes easy and you get a nice scholarship for many years. The scholarship money is sufficient for a student living in a hostel.

For universities, one can take two routes; one through GATE and other through appearing university entrance test. In central universities, you will get scholarship if you have GATE but this may not be a case in state university or other such organizations. You must bear your expenses.
