Anyway there are lot of institutions in abroad as well as a lot of government colleges in India. In India you can get good government scholarships in government colleges. I see many of my international friends getting scholarships in my college. You can surely get a doctorate. And the scholarship is also sure for you.

But, the best way of getting scholarships is can be only from this website. You could answer the questions of various users and get good sum for your studies.

Anyway good luck!!!!!1

Hai,
Eligibility for Admission:
In order to apply for the PhD, you must normally have an MTech/ME in any branch of engineering. An MCA degree is considered equivalent to the BTech/BE degree and is not normally sufficient for
admission. Direct Admission: In certain exceptional cases, where the candidate is one of the toppers in an undergraduate BE/BTech program from a reputed university, he/she may be eligible for direct admission into PhD after BE. Such candidates must
have secured 75% in their qualifying examination, and must also have a valid GATE score. Minimally, students in any branch of engineering, or those with MSc in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics or Statistics may also be considered, but you must demonstrate a strong Computer Science grasp (for example, you may have a high GATE score in CS). Some requirements may differ for candidates
under QIP (Quality Improvement Program),
Defence Personnel, SC/ST, and other sponsored
categories. More information is available on the
website of the IITK Senate Post-Graduate
Committee (SPGC). Admission Procedure The application form is available from central admission site, but in case of emergency or other problems, you can also apply with the vita and other details by e-mail or on plain paper. All applications should be sent to the following address: Admissions In-Charge (PhD) Computer Science and Engg. Dept. Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur 208016 (UP) A sponsored applicant is responsible for securing the permission of his employer before applying, or at the very least, by the date of test/interview. No candidate will be considered for admission if the employer's permission is not received by such date, and such applicants are requested to defer their interview/test till the next walk-in date. Note : Women candidates are exempted from payment of examination/test/interview fees for admission.
All the best.

Ph.D. Program in Detail

Students who complete the Ph.D. program should have a thorough understanding of the principles of economic theory and its applications in various fields, along with an ability to think systematically about, and apply quantitative methods to, economic problems. The program gives equal emphasis to these two goals with formal courses and examinations, seminars, workshops, papers, and the dissertation. Students typically spend most of their first two years in course work, at the end of which they take the general examinations. The next three years are used to prepare their dissertations, although both shorter and longer periods are not uncommon.

Throughout the program, there are formal provisions for students to engage in original research work. During the second year, each student must prepare a research paper to complete the requirement in econometrics. Moreover, in the first two years, term papers are required in some subjects. The Department also offers students the option to satisfy one of the minor field requirements through a program of supervised research. Students are also encouraged to take part in workshops in their fields of primary interest.

After passing the general examinations, students participate actively in the weekly meetings of the workshop and lunch in their field of research. They prepare a third-year paper, which is due on April 15. They continue to work on their dissertations under faculty supervision
