problem with the research

[ploto]

i am thinking about applying for a Phd (next fall) (electrical engineering) but the problem is that i still didnot do any research work , how much does this effect my application ? also if i am got rejected from certain university would this effect my chances if i apply for a second time next year ? is it better for me to apply next year after doing some work ? or no problem to take my chances and try to apply now ?
