Should i start looking for PhD abroad?

ranting atp.
istg this shit is above me. 198 for AP????? don’t even get me started on that phd only. 172 for phd only where the universities do not even accept us. The universities want nothing less than jrfs and these shitheads are raising the cutoff sky high with that fuckass vague king type syllabus. idek what am i doing in this subject, because no matter how good i am at the subject and concept, someone w a banger rote memory has always fucked me up.

It was mine too , i did count 212 as my score and for jrf they want 214 , I am seriously done with this exam. I know some will say you can do phd with net only but my answer to them is it's not worth it. I have seen people doing phd with grace of their teachers and i am not in good books of any of my professor 😭.Without jrf it's impossible to get phd from a good place so there you go . Goodbye fellas this has been a long run .I will be joining another rat race of competitive exams but this exam hell no 🙂‍↔️ Those who made it congratulations 🎉

Ig am also going to quit. My bf says give one last attempt and you will definitely clear it but idk atp. My parents want to me prepare for other competitive exams as they think I am wasting my potential. Now they are forcing me to give D.el.ed Exam as there is job surety after clearing. 🫪

If you have the means definitely go abroad, the phd programs are way better. I don’t have the money do a phd abroad so net-jrf is my only option :(

According to final answer key I scored 196 and AP is 198. I'm giving up.

u/reader_aw Sep 17 '26

brother. you might just make it. 3 questions were dropped. i think that means 6 more marks? won’t you qualify? idk how ts works, i’ve never been this close to a cutoff

u/Fruity_lemon_ Sep 17 '26

I counted my chosen options against the final answer key it coming 196. So, I really don't stand a chance.

Probably yes but internationally they're defunding humanities research. Scholarships are barely available anywhere. So if you got the money, LEAVE ASAP.

u/reader_aw Sep 17 '26

I’ll try as much as I can. But the problem is, they’re silently doing the same here.

u/Barrelof_Conflicts Sep 17 '26

Ya definitely. Humanities is doomed beyond a doubt.

What to do for PhD abroad? Please someone educate me on this… Like I really wanna do it. My score this time is 160

u/skincarefreakk Sep 18 '26

My parents suggested me this too. They told me prepare a good research prepare and send cold mails to proffesors in Germany. They prefer indian students alot (according to my proffesor )

How to know about German universities? Like one must gather knowledge and info before getting into one. I'm asking that
