I had many students ask me about the PhD, if it is worth pursuing, how to select a university, what to look for in a research group, career path in academia or industry and surviving the PhD ordeal! Since I had answered hundreds of them already, I thought that it is appropriate that I write a book about it. It might seem very obvious to some while others might find it extremely useful but I would pen down in each of the chapters what my thoughts are, from my experience in interacting with a lot of students, ranging from aspiring undergraduate students, both successful and struggling PhD students, and most-importantly the highly ambiguous PhinisheD ones! The chapters in this book not just focusses on a set of objective things to look for when you decide on your graduate studies. The book is filled with lot of practical things to consider, which I personally felt nobody told me about! Had I known these things before I decided on my graduate studies, I would have been more careful!
