Do you have any question for Gangadharan?
What do you think about podcasting? Will this be easier to consume contents from HSB?

I am a Phd Applicant, I have a Masters in Computer Science from a First Generation Nigerian university. My research area is computer communication networks and digital electronics. I wrote GRE exam and my Verbal is 139 and Quantitative is 146, Will I get any school in canada or U.S.A with these scores if not, are there schools that do not require GRE. What is the implication of my GRE score to the admission in Canada and U.S.A.
Thanks Raghu for all your enthusiastic work for Students.The interview was kind of eye opener thanks to Gangadharan for sahring all his experiences.
Yeah. I think podcasts would be a wonderful and easy way for people to benefit from the contents of HSB. At times, it is tiring for the eyes to keep on reading materials no matter how beneficial they are, but when we listen, and we are enjoying the content, we seldom get tired. I for one, have been impressed by the little I heard from this particular podcast. Thanks a lot
Is there any difference between B.TECH to direct PhD and M.S to PhD? What are benefits and losses to the students who go for direct PhD? I am asking you this question because I want to apply for direct PhD in Aerospace Engineering after my B.TECH in Mechanical Engineering. I have 4 years of experience.
HI,
The difference between direct PhD and M.S to PhD
1.Direct PhD is 5 years (mostly) and you will get your MS on the way(You save one or two years by this way). You can also quit the program and still have a masters degree with you.Only thing is you have to work very very very HARD!!!.
Since you will be expected to do research while you are pursuing your MS you have to be prepared for that.
2.MS to PhD is usual way.Like MS for two years and then start your PhD which will take another 4 or 5 years to complete.But the first two years it is easy as you are an MS student rather a research student.
Thank you.

I’m trying from past two years by contacting professors but unable to get into it. Can you please guide how I can reach destiny.
Congratulations !!! Sir !!!!
