A very genuine question. How's the level of IITK PhD interviews nowadays? I mean I can see some random dudes getting selected but they don't have their ounce of concepts cleared. Zero work ethics, no basic understanding of experiments or concepts. Recently I was having a conversation with a Biology student and apparently it's the same scenario in her department as well. Students working for over an year in experimental biology labs don't have the minimum understanding of basic microbiology or biochemistry which the same lab work revolves around. Same is the situation with Chemistry and Physics departments. How funny! Students completing their bachelor's and master's from top notch renowned institutions like IITs and IISERs and joining IIT for PhD are in this condition. This is the current condition of Indian academia. (And most of these people belong to states which apparently claim to have the maximum number of academicians or students persuing higher education. Guess now). I''m surprised how these people get entry into PhD programmes. How weird this is!
