There has been a 60% rise in the number of PhD students going abroad to pursue their research degree. The number has increased so much that most of the universities in India are falling short of recruits. There are a lot of factors that attract international students to foreign universities for research. This includes good research facilities, highest stipends and After research placement opportunities. A lot of students pursuing PhD in India are not able to secure a stipend. This is the reason why students in India do not choose to pursue a PhD degree. Research as a field is not very developed in India and it is one of the reasons behind the brain drain.
