<p>Dear Madam,<br />I have done MSc in Food Science and Nutrition. I am interested to do PhD abroad, so please guide which are the universities related to my subject and the related expenses as well. What are the necessary entrance exams that should be undertaken? If I have an opportunity to contact, whom can I contact to know get more information? <br />Tejaswini M<br /><br /></p>.<p>Dear Tejaswini,<br />Some of the best universities for PhD in food science and nutrition in the US are Cornell, University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, University of California Davis, Boston University, Harvard University, Colorado State University, Purdue University, Tufts University and the University of Connecticut. As for the tests to undertake, you need to write the GRE and TOEFL exam. Please go to www.ets.org to register for both these exams and work on practice papers.<br /><br />You should research these universities thoroughly and identify the university and professor you wish to work with. You will find research works of all the Professors on the University website. Communicate with the professors who you would like to work with and convince them that you will be an asset to their Institution. You can get admission to a PhD programme only if someone is willing to be your mentor. So what’s most important is your communication skills and perseverance. Carry out some research projects here and have them published before you approach a University for your PhD.<br /><br />Dear Madam,<br />I am currently pursuing my final year in BCA and my aggregate till now is 70 per cent.

They evaluate international credentials. Most of our three-year degrees are equal to the four-year degrees offered by US universities. When an organisation like WES equates our degree to 120 credits of a US degree, the universities have no problem in accepting students with a three-year Bachelors degree from India.<br /><br />Dear Madam,<br />I am currently studying in 12th Standard (ISC Science).
