I am having few confusions on making decision for Phd.
My Profile
-- B.Tech (Electronics and Communication) : Univ. in Maharashtra, India. (CGPA 8.5/10)
-- M.Tech (Telecommunication): IIT Kharagpur , India (CGPA 8.78/10)
Academic research experience but no publications
-- Experience: 1 yr 7 months ( non Research Exp)
-- Not yet appeared for GRE/TOEFL
Can you please help me on following doubts
1. What is decent score required for GRE/TOEFL which should not prevent me to get into good university
2. Should I select European over US university because of its length of Phd program? But, I am not sure about the quality of European Phd. Rather, I am more interested in Research work that course work, so in that case where does European Phd stands.
3. I am not having very strong academic records not even publications; will this affect my Phd prospect?
at what extend my current industry (non research) experience will be useful?
4. Is it a good idea to get some teaching or research experience before I start applying to Phd?
