Deciding on Phd

[vrs1212]

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?
