- Always meet and report your work to your supervisor. At least once a week.
- Set a goal and reason why you want to complete your Ph.D. That will drive and motivate you to finish your study.
- Publish your work in reputable journals with impact factors. That's like an insurance policy during the VIVA.

What about the advise you give?
"Set some reasonable goals with deadlines and share it with the advisor"
"Show an ability to work on multiple projects and write up the results quickly"
Prof. Giridhar,
Do advisors really have the time to look at students weekly progress reports?

In IIT Patna there is an age limit for taking admission into their PhD program(Engineering). It is 28 years for BE/BTech and 32 years for M.E MTech.
Should there be any upper age limit for the PhD program?
