Less Phd grads in India in comparison with China

Filed under:

China has just overtaken the US in having the maximum number of PhDs enrolled in their universities. And the US last year turned out more than 50,000 PhDs, about 28,000 of them in science and technology. So China is beginning to do better than that!

As of last year, China had over 120,000 PhDs enrolled, behind only the US and Germany. We in India had a total of some 375 PhDs graduate last year by one estimate and by no reckoning more than three digits.

The total current PhD enrolment in India is estimated at under 5,000. In computer science and information technology, we produced less than 100 PhDs, with fields such as chemical, electrical and mechanical engineering perhaps together accounting for about the same number. That’s quantity. Quality is another story.
