PhD: Be the best out there..

Thursday, April 09, 2009

Here I announce my new blog, focusing PhD students. I believe it is going to help most them. This is not only blog for advising PhD (Graduate) students but also my personal experience as one of the fastest PhD recipient in my University.

In 2006 I have been award as "IBM outstanding PhD student" and won the student body elections in 2007. I was invited to give a talk at directors dinner for graduating students. I was involved in the development of smart campus project at my university with Intel and IBM. Most importantly I was moderator of social group to help Poor and unprivileged school village students. Apart from all these I was regular to sports and was an active member of Himalayan Explorer club. Participated in 180 KM cycling expedition and many more..

I had best time at university and consider that I gave me everything and most importantly it made me more confidant to take up almost any kind of challenge in life. But every PhD student dont have same story to share. I have a bunch of PhD friends who joined with me and still are there and struggling. Few dropped out and few are fighting for it.

As a friend to many PhD students I learned from situation and planned my life accordingly to fetch the best available to me. I want to share this with all my friends, specially my brother who is in third year of his PhD, and friend who is just starting :)

In this I will be sharing

1. Tips for fresh PhD student
2. How do research
3. Publishing your work
4. Presentation
5. Fun stuff
6. Social life
7. Writing PhD thesis
