My son has completed his MTech Big Data Biology in June 2024 from SASTRA Thanjavur with a CGPA score of 9.15. First class with distinction. My question is whether it is advisable for him to pursue Phd in SASTRA in his core field. On the other hand can he look out for job opportunities in his core area. However it is observed that presently the openings in his area is not encouraging and pay wise also not that attractive. Pursuing and successfully completing Phd in Sastra would be useful for his post doctoral studies in India or abroad. Please advise. From V NARASIMHAN Father

Ans: I would encourage him to look for a job which with his exceptional scores will be easy, though may take a bit of time. Let him begin, perform and higher position add salary will follow target than really for 4 years for PhD and then look for a job. While doing his job he can explore research opportunities, fellowship overseas. He should also seek advice from the senior faculty and placement director at Sastra. Wishes for an early career break.

Ans: Dear

My suggestion he should pursue the path that he would truly feel good about...let him first introspect why he got low CGPA...is it because he was not interested in the field or he took it lightly...if it is later then he can fix it...but if is not interested then he will have to do deeper soul searching...
