    Being a PhD scholar I can easily put some valid points into this essential yet ignored topic in our country India:
    1. PhD especially in India very much depends on PhD student and his/her supervisor
    2. Still, the Government of India spend a penny on PhD or Research in the universities even in the prestigious universities.
    3. Due to financial constraints Indian students suffer a lot in the PhD journey.
    4. If supervisor and student are in the same momentum then certainly the PhD can be completed in 4 years maximum with some quality publications.
    5. But irony is that doesn't happen usually.
    6. In developed nations USA, Ireland, UK, Germany, Canada etc...PhD students avails lot of support from the government bodies more accurately they are treated a national treasure but in developing economies it is just vice versa where in a country like India with robust population of more than 140 CR with majority of politicians are corrupt and minimal educated only basic education they can never ever value the long term study neither they respect.
    7. In India government spend billions of rupees in freebies and billions in statue buildings and political stunts.

      Do you think it's worth doing PhD in theoretical physics like string theory from abroad? I am financially unable to spend even 50k but luckily I am pursuing MSc Physics in IIT Guwahati so IIT can provide loan for abroad admission and selection and all that. Please suggest me to make decisions because there are very few (I don't any yet) who go for PhD abroad in theoretical physics,most of them go for applied physics like condensed matter physics, quantum computing,...

    I started my PhD at 30 instead of getting married and having kids like most Indian women, and after more than 7 years will defend finally this semester. It took me a long time (changed labs and then pandemic affected my experimental research very badly), but I would not have it any other way. I am slogging even in my mid 30s and the journey will probably continue till mid 40s. It is still totally worth it. I would not have it any other way. And, also let face it…we don’t spend a penny to do a PhD in the US (and earn stipend and save also). That is a perk which those pursuing masters with millions of dollars as loan forget about. Anyway, at the end of the day, it is a choice. And, if academics (not academia) and research is not your passion, then better not do a PhD (may be).

    It is somewhat True in India that mostly PhD is destroying careers.
    The investment in R&D by Govt. in India is very minimal so doing a PhD in any tech specialisation results in no other option but to pursue a lectureship in any college especially govt. college. The R&D industry in India least absorbs PhD graduates and there are very few openings.
    The % of PhD graduates in India especially from top tech institutes is very low and often treated as a labour in lab by not so good advisors.
    I would like to quote a statement by Gaurav Aggarwal IAS Rank 1 IIT-IIM Alumni that when you are earning very good in a corporate job then after a certain time the amount in your bank is just nothing but a number and the real joy lies in pursuing a context and doing some
    meaningful stuff.

    PhD for sure is about being passionate about research and discovering within the scope one has in the subject he chooses. And PhD is not just about research or publishing work. Its a journey of evolution where you refine your thought process and critical learning and you even learn a lot from the mentorship. These skills are not applied just to your field after your PhD but to everything else you come across in your life afterwards. PhDs can tread anything in their life with the skills they gain during the enduring journey of PhD. One simple one line answer to this guy Harnoor is that: There's zameen asmaan farak in people who are passionate and determined to research and want to get a PhD versus those who do PhD because they are not getting H1 during their OPT or who didn't find a job after their MS. It is definitely a nightmare for the latter.

    Harnoor has all the wrong ideas as to why one works towards a PhD. His whole focus is on making money which may not be everybody's goal in life.I am surprised he even has a masters degree. I am not sure why he even went to high school when he could have easily gotten a job without even going to high school. The reason for obtaining a PhD is for the pure joy of discovering something new and for the sheer pursuit of knowledge. His views are completely screwed up and not conducive towards excellence in anything. Sad!

      This comment tells me you have NO actual experience of doing a PhD in US. Depression, mental health issues and loneliness are the norm with PhD candidates here. Just because you once had a burning passion and aptitude for research DOES NOT necessarily mean it'll stay invariant like that forever. That's not how human behaviors/preferences work. People's interests evolve, mostly influenced by the environment they live in. And for a society where international students are not given the same freedom like domestic students, it absolutely takes a toll on their mental health and can directly affect their performance and interests. Don't argue on this. I teach at a university here in US, I'd know. I don't blame students taking shelter in a PhD program just to prolong their stay in US even if they aren't interested in any research. Its a consequence of a biased and broken immigration system. Trust me, most of them will drop them at the first job opportunity they get from Europe or UK.

    In certain fields (for example, Biotechnology), a PhD is a must to move up the ladder. Masters may fetch you a job but it takes much longer for a non-PhD to become a team leader. Of course, if someone is satisfied with a base-level job, then obviously PhD would be a waste of time for that person.

Loans are affordable as long as you bag a job abroad at 22/23. If you hit mid 30s and still don't have a house, a car and a family all paid for which most men are measured against as a yardstick abroad, then it's alright to get a PhD and then a post doc well into your 50s. Nobody gives a shit. Not sure what this obsession with being a semi broke researcher is, specially coming a lower middle class background from a relatively poor country like India. The opportunity cost of a lost decade of employment is not something to scoff at specially when one comes from a middle class or lower class background from India.

Sometimes people want to do something they like, it’s more about passion for a particular field. I could have gotten a normal IT job last year but I didn’t want to do it because I wanted to study more and gain knowledge, maybe in future I would even love to teach if I gain the skills to do so. It’s something with us Indian students, majority of us just want to earn money in IT field even if it means to do engineering from an unrelated branch. The fact is that if Masters wasn’t necessary for getting a job in US then we Indians wouldn’t even think about doing it, there’s a reason why masters students are majorly international students who just want to start a career in US.

    Sir I want to do a PhD. I did my MS and worked for the OPT time for 3 years and now in India. The only thing that prevents me from going for a PhD is because of my age in early 30s when I will start my PhD. What would be your opinion on this? Thank you for all you do!

    Prof Sambhara, I think Harnoor's video is for those who have no interest in research but want to live the life ar per the so-called tradition and rules of the Indian middle class society. They value their package and the benefits that it brings. They want to achieve quick success and don't have the patience needed for a PhD. I am not sure if they will understand much of your comments. However, your words hold much more value for those who are currently pursuing or want to pursue PhD and are dealing with the thoughts conveyed by Harnoor.

    As we can understand @HarnoorSinghOfficial has a very narrow point of view about PhD. I like this video because the speaker in the video was very neutral and only focused on important points of pursuing PhD. Also by comparing videos we can understand how much broad mind set is of the person who has completed his PhD. Life is not about just earning money(Although money is important) and showing your luxury lifestyle, it is only good for the content sake. Harnoor has a huge fan base, I think he should make videos before doing a proper research but he cannot do that as he is against Research students. Everyone's life is not same and everyone's timelines differs, Enjoy your life and gain as much as knowledge as you can. Knowledge might not bring a ton of money but it will definitely give you a good way to live your life. I wish some youtube content creaters not only get aged but with it also start thinking with maturity. Awesome video once again.

    i would agree with Hanoor because whatever point he has made is somewhere true, not in all cases but most cases. because a PhD doesn't guarantee any success, so in the end, most of the students get over-aged and over-qualified. After spending so much time, they still struggle to find a good job, It is a new problem, so if anybody is financially independent and curious about the subject, then he/she should go for it.

    Sir, I am almost 34 now and I still want to do PHD. I am pursuing my Computer science masters from Georgia Tech online masters program. I am married and have a kid as well. I would like to move into research and have enjoyed the US style education so far. I will have saved some money by the time I move to US for PHD so that i could support my family. I still want to do PHD, any thoughts on my goal? Also I am working as Associate architect at Ernst and Young in Bangalore. Also I agree with you, In my opinion, people should chase their goals instead of chasing after money when studying. I am from a very lower financial background and only son. I have struggled hard and had previously received lot of admits/scholarships from good US universities for MS but never could afford the i20.

You may write some code for assignment and dissertation project but it will be not on level required for most software developer projects which you are already working on. Better improve your coding skills try to become senior dev/ architect. Go for if you want to go in research or do phd. If you are looking for same kind of developer jobs than you will waste 2 years.
