The verdict
Good fit
If you’re research-obsessed and want a dirt-cheap, fully residential Ph.D. with access to elite labs like ISRO, DRDO, and Microsoft Research, this is a power move. The catch? It’s a 6-year marathon and public salary data is basically nonexistent—so be ready to network hard and define your own path.
