Transition from an Indian M.Com to a PhD in germany
Hey guys! I am a final year M.Com student and need some help to transition into a econometrics PhD in germany. Now dont come bashing at me I am doing courses in econometrics rn to familiarize myself. This post is solely to find ways to upskill myself in about an year.
I am preparing for the gre, doing a research project in my dads company, using econometrics obviously. I co authored a paper that involves minimum statistics. I am looking for RA position in this field that will start in january or later. Once my gre is done on october I will start a paper that uses DiD and my planned final sem thesis will be using VAR models. The research project Im on currently is a small N case so I couldnt use rigorous econometrics. My cgpa is 9.8/10 and im currently proficient in python.
The main things I need help on are:
How to get a paid RA position in think tanks or colleges in India with my profile?
If I still wont be eligible for a phd, What should i do differently?
Any other suggestions?
