Sending emails to profs for your PhD program? Here's how to write them.
#PhD #StudyAbroad #InternationalStudents
If you're applying to a PhD program, it's crucial that you email your professor or principal investigator (PI) at the university to check whether they're accepting PhD students and if you'll be a good fit for the research lab. In this video, I discuss how you can write an email to professors to show off the most impressive (and relevant) research experience you have and, hopefully, elicit a response from them. If you have any questions or ideas, let me know in the comment section below :)

This is very helpful! Can you also do a video on TOEFL? Specifically where we can find free mock tests that are close to the original test.
In the fourth year, I have an option to take Btech honors with subjects ( 1.Distributed Algorithms 2.Transaction processing systems). Will this give an extra edge if applying for a master's in computer science or data science (more inclined to machine learning) directly after a bachelor's degree?
Hi, can we include our LOR from previous university in the mail to the professor whom we are requesting for supervision?
what is that graph kind of thing above hello johnson??
Can you Make a Same related video on Master Program
Will emailing them help for thesis based masters? When should we email the potential professors?
Hey Sachin! That was a really good video, I will be applying for Fall'22 PhD Admissions and this will surely help me a lot. I just had one thing to ask. Normally the professors provide their Institute email address, but almost 70-80% of the time, the emails that we send end up in their Spam Folder. How to avoid this type of situation?

Hi Amlan, it's unlikely that your email will end up in the spam folder unless you mass email. What usually happens is that profs get a TON of emails and they quickly scan each one and don't respond, or sometimes forget to respond. Hence, having the name of a student they know in the email, or even asking that student to convince the prof to consider you, is a good idea.

Hi amlan, i too looking forward to apply for fall'22 phD admission. In which field you are going to pursue your phd program.
Hello 👋 I have a query about the research paper. It the research proposal is about the thesis research or it is just a normal research paper or proposal for to get admission in the university for the PHD ? Please do reply I am willing to know about this topic 😒😢
Thank you so much Sachin ! As far as MS program is concerned, would it be okay to play around with the same template ?

Sure, but profs don't really bother checking emails from MS students because they don't get a lot of say in the admissions process for master's.

Just use your passport name everywhere across your applications. That's the most important.
