    Mam i hve done my 12th in 2022, and in 2024 pursuing bs in data science from iitm (a online degree) but have interest in neuroscience or biology related feild.
    Im in dilemma 😅 right now that what I'm doing or wanted to do.
    Since by bachelors going in tech. feild. Am i eligible to do masters in biology or interdisciplinary feild from these universities or not.
    Or, I try to apply for bachelors or leave it.
    And will you also tell us about fee waiver/scholarships. Since not much financially stable.

    • @prachiojha2897
      @prachiojha2897  5 дней назад

      Yes, it is definitely possible to switch fields during masters. In fact, in neuroscience people prefer candidates from interdisciplinary fields especially data science because of the advent of AI. So you should definitely try to apply. And regarding fellowships, the options might differ from university to university but if you ask they might suggest some internal or external funding sources. But I would say it is more difficult to get a fellowship for masters compared to a PhD

    Dii , I somewhere read that One must register for mit in 12th halfway session . I am preparing jee 2026 and Have not won any olympiads . I have always had a decent score till class 10th ranging from 85-93 percent (93 being in boards ) . My main dream is pursuing MIT for pcm field . Theres not much guidance available on youtube about entering MIT. i have a few questions -
    1) is it possible for me ? Do all the mit students prepare for 7th or 8th and since I am in 11th I cant ?
    2) I have no single idea which syllabus I have to prepare for getting into MIT . I want to pursue astrophyiscs or computer science any works for me . But I am totally unaware of what syllabus I need to prepare. I thought Jee advanced preparation will definitely be help and was waiting for someone to guide me futher with how to prepare for MIT .
    3) Which exams I need to give ?
    4) I also read I need to excel in school exams . Is it true ?
    Please help me and guide me

      Hi, I can't provide specific answers because I personally don't know many undergrads who come here from India. The broad answer is that a good CV which includes a good academic background, prizes in science olympiads and a good score in IIT JEE helps. SAT scores are counted so you should definitely take the SAT exam. A girl from my school got admission in Stanford after 12th by getting a good score in SAT. Hope this helps!

    • @prachiojha2897
      @prachiojha2897  6 месяцев назад

      You can also take the ACT exam...the syllabus for both SAT and ACT can be found online..it won't be very different from what you have studied until class 12.

    • @prachiojha2897
      @prachiojha2897  Год назад +3

      Depends on individual preferences. For biology, time taken to finish PhD is minimum 5 years in both India and US. But the ordering process is much faster here. Good institutes have more resources, which is true for India also. Research funding is better here. I will make a detailed video on the differences I felt after coming from an Indian research environment. Personally, I didn't want to spend 5 years of PhD plus additional years of postdoc outside of India. But if you know you want to go outside for postdoc, coming here for PhD might give you a good exposure to the research environment here.

    What should be the minimum cgpa to do phd in MIT , how much stipen do they provide ,is it enough to sustain in USA

    • @prachiojha2897
      @prachiojha2897  8 месяцев назад +1

      They don't define any minimum cgpa. I have just heard from the graduate students in the lab that having a good cgpa helps because they count all the things to shortlist an application. The stipend provided is definitely enough to survive here and is matched to the cost of living in the state.

      Mine was 88..but 12th percentage doesn't really matter for Phd. They look at undergrad cgpa, research experience. It's good that you are already gaining some extra experience, having more research experience in your CV is the key.
