Hey, thanks for this video! I came across your channel while researching on Singapore. I am starting my PhD from NTU in January. Any tips on how to rent a place? Thanks in advance!
Propertyguru and 99.com are good starting points. One tip since I recently shifted places: always set the filter which only shows listings in the last three days. These are the latest ones. Anything older has a high chance of being unsuitable location-wise or owner-wise.
Hey man, thanks for sharing your experience, can you also make a video on a review of NUS about things like the status of research, opportunities, support from faculty, maybe some rules of a PhD specific to NUS that one should know about before entering, and maybe how is it for an international student like you like are people approachable or did you face racism etc. It would be really helpful as I am currently in my undergrad in physics in a 4 yr degree and am in the process of deciding which university I should go for my graduate.
My latest video tries to (subtly) discuss some of my experiences in Singapore. Take a look at that, and I'll be happy to discuss anything that is left unanswered
Sir, I have also been selected for a PhD. Could you, in case you see this comment, tell me the initial funds i should have to come there including visa fees. I have the scholarship and stipend so after one or two months it won't be a problem.
Hi, thanks for the question. I think around 1.5 lacs INR should be more than enough (including the cost of your one-way flight ticket). But in case of an emergency, please make sure you have access to at least 1 indian bank account with international transactions enabled. The first stipend usually comes in on the 18th of the second month after you join.
@@ShubhamKejriwal thank you for the reply sir. I was selected at NTU so my date will be different I believe. Also what about sim card charge and time it will take to open an account there?
@@ShubhamKejriwal can I ask you a question? Studying physics in university was my dream but getting a job as a physicist is hard and they don't get enough money. So I'm thinking to study engineering (mechanical. Maybe I'll double major in computer engineering) and I'll live my life as an engineer till idk 40s? and I'll do Ph.D. in physics. I told this about an academy member who is a mechanical engineer and it was approved. What are your thoughts on this? Any suggestion?
@@Forackol_I don't think it's fair to say that "physicists don't earn enough". It also depends on what qualifies as "enough" for you. I always believe that if you bring a unique set of skills to the table, then money becomes secondary and something you wouldn't have to worry too much about. It's the same case with any field, be it physics or engineering. If you become a subpar engineer or a subpar physicist, you'd suffer both ways monetarily, but if you truly like the subject and want to work hard in it, I think the world is designed in a way to reward that with money. So think carefully :)
What do you mean by much money? Physicists don't own porches or anything, but earn enough to sustain themselves and live comfortably. Just like any other job in the world. You just have to be good at it.
Harder than expected : Self discipline in PhD and food, money management.
Easier than expected: Transitioning into a PhD and coursework
Thanks for summarising the video 😂
amazing work brother. Proud of you.
Thanks 🙏
Can you please tell how were you able to do part time tutoring in college? Was it a website?
And thank you for these updates 😊
Online website, many available online.. i was doing it through tutorme.com

Are you selected as a singa scholar? And which dept?

@@mahnoornaeem1985 No, under NTU Research Scholarship. I will be in the School of Social Sciences.
@@ShubhamKejriwal Okay, thanks! I'll keep this in mind!

@@ShubhamKejriwal yeah I know but I couldn't find anyone who is physicist and earn much money so idk

Do NUS provide hostel for postdocs who go to Singapore for doing postdoctoral research?
Please answer
Not generally
Hello bhaiya
If you were having 2 years of teaching experience before applying to tutorme
No, i applied to tutorme without any previous experience
what do you think about NTU
It's good, a bit isolated up on the hills, but it's a nice place. I've heard the phds there get paid more 😂
@@ShubhamKejriwal Great to know!!😂
Where can i contact you? I have some questions regarding phds abroad
Instagram is fine! @ii_shubhamkejriwal_ii
@@ShubhamKejriwal ok big bro
