Will I get admission in Graduate school?

Can I get a PhD admission in a good graduate school in US or Europe with a GPA of 6.5 in IIT?

• I have a CGPA of 6.5 in the 4th year of my 5-year dual degree Computer Science course. I screwed up my first two years. I have developed a keen interest and discovered my "calling" in theoretical computer science after a recent research internship and would want to continue the research in the field. Which universities can I get admission in and what should I do to get a university better than what generally I would be expected to get.

• Answer:

  Thanks for Double A2A's It is great that you have discovered your calling and want to do Ph.D You can get Ph.D admission with CGPA 6.5 Get a couple of research papers in the next 18 months you got If US then try attempting getting High GRE Score Scan through the professors from your insti, who are interested in similar research area, get a recommendation from them citing your research interest Start Conversation with the professor with whom you wish to work First Job will be to narrow down Research area, which you have done Secondly, the professor or department you want to work with. Keep a wide spectrum of option as your CGPA is less Thirdly, Start working on Project and try to get publications in the same Fourthly, Preparation for GRE and getting recommendations You should keep your cards open and see what best you can get. To know imapctful professors in your area you can find their H index. To know the Universities you must go through university rankings and Departments that will take some time but a lot of lists are available Easiest way will be to contact alumni and current professors in your institute and ask them which are the best ones. So that you can get recommendation too from them Try your luck nothing is impossible
