Hi
I am Neil. I have a doubt regarding backlogs.
I am going to give GRE in June and apply for Ph.d in Aerospace Engineering in fall 2011.
My profile :
10 - 90.6% Tamil Nadu state board.
12 - 89.83% Tamil Nadu state board.
B.E - 71% Aeronautical Engineering from Park college of Engg. & Tech affiliated to Anna University Chennai. with 20 backlogs. Even I took 4.5 years to complete the degree.
M.Tech - 8.31 out of 10. Aerospace Engineering IIT Kharagpur.
Currently I am working as project assistant in IISc Bangalore. I can get LOR from my IIT professor and IISc professor.
My doubt: will my history of backlogs in B.E ruin my chance to Ph.d Aerospace Engineering? will it be indicated in transcripts? what should i do? does this so called IIT tag hold only for B.Tech or even to M.Tech? what kind of universities (rank wise) do i have chance with this profile eventhough i do not have GRE score right now?
I am get confused. I am looking forward to your reply.
