What the above post says regarding the Ph.D. degree is quite obviously utter nonsense. The poster has not understood what was written in the post to which he is responding. The poster clearly does not appreciate why some of the most capable students have opted to seek admission into Ph.D. programs in the world's top universities, as well as India's premier institutions such as the Indian Institute of Science, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Indian Statistical Institute, and Tata Institute of Social Sciences. At the risk of insulting the intelligence of most Goanetters who know better, to become a fully qualified scientist in any field today one has to obtain a Ph.D. or equivalent degree. One cannot become a college or university professor in most countries without obtaining a Ph.D. or equivalent degree. Many present-day professions require a Ph.D. degree e.g. Clinical Psychology, Molecular Genetics and Neuropsychology. One cannot get a Ph.D. degree from any reputed university by copying. Plagiarism is a punishable offense whether done in the course of obtaining an undergraduate college degree such as a B.A., a professional degree such as an M.B.B.S. or a doctoral degree such as a Ph.D. Cheers, Santosh
