Yes your profile is really good for the PhD/ MEng course. 2. You just need a valid GATE score (above 90 percentile). 3. You'll need TOEFL as well (may be exempted if the medium of your studies has been English). 4. Admission takes place at NTU in August or January each year 5. Last dates for January intake: 30th June of previous year and for August intake: 31st January of same year 6.

In India you can pursue PhD but let's accept it that our Universities and Institutes are yet to streamline their system in Biotechnological research atleast (we are improving but there's long way to go). May be you can add to a better pool of scientists to improve the system here later. In India, if you really want to pursue the research then study the track record of the scientists first before making a decision. One of the improtant things to check would be the average time taken by their students for the award of PhD; apart from the facilities; no. of research publications of the students and whether same kind of research is being done all the time by all students or not. How to go about it? If you have applied for GATE, then GATE is the easiest and least expensive way to enter NUS. If you haven't then pursue GRE with conviction. GRE/GATE is just an eligibility criteria; you can go for GRE General as well. At the same time, appearing for CSIR/DBT JRF is not going to be a bad decision. Go for these exams as well as a contingency plan. AND, please do email Dr. Kini about your interest, it will strengthen your chances of getting a PhD at NUS. Apply at NTU as well. Hope it helps,.Best wishes Sunil RE: Tips for Admission in National University of Singapore - deepak2307 - 12-10-2014 Hi Sunil, Thank you for the quick reply. So, I believe the request must be made after I get shortlisted right? your interview was also through skype? Could you please describe the experience? Or whatever you have heard from others? I am worried about it because in application I had given preference of Interview location as Chennai, Hope it can be changed after shortlisting, I desperately don't want to miss the interview. I hope the candidate giving a personal interview will not have a higher preference than the one giving skype interview. Thank you very much.

[attachment=200] RE: Tips for Admission in National University of Singapore - Sapthaswaran - 02-12-2015 Hi Sunil, Thanks so much for all your valuable inputs! I just received an interview call from DBS for PhD on March 20th 2015. Could you please quickly guide me through the interview process? Will the interview be a technical one? Is there any way we can better our chances for an admission at NUS? And importantly, after the interview how do they generally decide whom to offer admission and deny? Any tips/guidance will be great. Thank you RE: Tips for Admission in National University of Singapore - aruporacle - 02-18-2015 Dear Sunil, Need your advice and some guidance please. My daughter is currently studying M.Tech in Biotechnology from NIT Rourkela and will complete in June 2016. If we wish to admit her in NSU, Singapore for her PHD in Biotechnology. 1. Which Intake Period (August 2016 or January 2017 or August 2017) is appropriate and recommended for her PHD, assuming her M.Tech result will not be declared before June 2016? 2. Depending on the intake period, can she use her existing GATE-Biotechnology February 2014 score (All India Rank of 292, percentile = 97.27%) or will she have to again appear for GATE in February 2016? Regards, Arup RE: Tips for Admission in National University of Singapore - nikhil_hajirnis - 03-01-2015 Hello sir, This is a wonderful thread and I am deeply interested in pursuing scientific career. I am doing my MSc (final semester) in Biotechnology (current CGPA - 6.5/10) from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi and I secured AIR-15 in the Common Entrance Exam For Biotechnology (CEEB) held each year by JNU in 2013. I also acquired AIR-1 in Int-PhD exam for Genomics at Madurai Kamaraj University and have also cleared CSIR (LS) with AIR-36. Can I include these examinations in my national achievements given in the NUS form? Moreover I have appeared for GATE-2015 and am hoping for its result to be positive. What else can I plan for making my CV stronger? What kind of an essay do they expect us to write for getting an admission in NUS? And what scholarship should I apply to over there?
