    In Australia, part-time PhD programs are generally available only to citizens and permanent residents, not international students. I was pursuing a PhD in the IT field in Australia but had to withdraw because of serious issues with my supervision.

    In my opinion, a PhD may not be worthwhile for many professionals in the IT industry. It may help someone secure a research engineer position at a major technology company, including a FAANG company, but the stress, pressure, and significant time commitment may outweigh the potential benefits. This is based on my personal experience, and others may have different perspectives.
    It's simple. If you want to go into industry, don't ever bother doing a PhD. It's not an industry qualification unless you've developed a new algorithm or made a new invention, which is rare. If you do a PhD in CS or IT, don't bother trying to go into industry. Just apply for grants and do research as a researcher. The industry will eventually chase you when you're in the spotlight because of your years of research.

    Bachelors එකක් කරන බහුතරය Masters එකක් ලොවෙත් කරනවා ඊට පස්සේ phd එකක් කරන එකත් Normal දෙයක් වෙලානේද
    අද කාලෙ ගොඩක් උන් රටින් පිට වෙන්න higher studies method එකක් කරගන්නවා. ඒක නිසා තමා ඉස්සරට වඩා MSC/PHD කරන උන් වැඩි වෙලා තියෙන්නෙ.
    තව දෙයක් තමා monetization/socialmedia නිසා ගොඩක් උන් ඕක කරනවා කියලා advertise කරනවා. එතකොටත් කරන ගාන වැඩි වගේ අපිට පේනවා.

    කව්ද බන් ලන්කාවෙ කරන PhD ගනන් ගන්නෙ ඊයා. 💩

    මොරටුව කැම්පස් කොලබ කැම්පස් වගේ ඒවත් වර්ල්ඩ් රෑන්ක් 800-1200 ගූ කැම්පස් නෙ. 💩

    රිසර්ච් උනත් බොරු ඒව ඔය රජයේ ගූ කැම්පස් වල එවුනුයි, ප්‍රයිවට් එවුනුයි PhD කරන්න ගියාම කරන්නෙ.

    ලන්කාවෙ හොද විද්‍යාගාර පහසුකම් නෑනෙ.

    PhD කරනව නම්, ඔස්ට්‍රේලියාව, ඇමරිකාව, එන්ගලන්තය වගේ හොද රටවලින් කරන්න ඕනෙ. නැත්තන් වැඩක් නෑ.
    A PhD is a PhD, my dude. Even in Sri Lankan state universities, completing one is an absolute test of endurance. You need to publish at least four peer-reviewed papers, which is no joke.
    The real issue lies entirely with resources. I’ve seen state universities running PhD programs without basic access to Elsevier or IEEE, and that’s just the start. Complete lack of proper lab equipment and zero access to the latest research makes it extremely difficult for students. They have to build and facilitate the entire infrastructure themselves. This is the fundamental reason why we suffers in university rankings.

    I've seen a huge spike in PhDs in Gov campuses in the recent years. You hardly had any in past graduations, but now it's growing. With this I think underlying infra issues will get fixed eventually.

    If you've ever done a PhD, you'll never ridicule one. (Well apart from Honorary ones :lol:). At the end it's never about which University you've earned it. It's simply, how fellow scholars value your research and the impact it made ✌️

    in reality the country and the university matter IMO. not every place has the same analytical tools, lab gear or PIs with the right expertise. so the (PhD) research output becomes relative to the resources you have. the students effort may be the same, but the environment directly affects what kind of work is even possible..

    3+ වත් first Authored Q1 Journal Articles Publish කරළ තියනවනම් ඉතින් PhD එකේ පිලිගැනීමෙ අවුලක් නෑ කොහෙ උනත්. University එක බලන්නෙ Early career එකේදි ඒකත් සමහර තැන් වල විතරයි. එතනින් පස්සෙ, Publications, Patents තමයි.

    Update : මම කිව්වෙ PhD. MSc නම් කොහෙ උනත් පිලිගන්නෑ. වැඩක් නෑ Industry වලට. PhD යනවනම් Supervisor ගෙ Preference එක. ඒත් වැඩි බර Bachelor Uni එකට

    ඔව් Publication විතරයි දැන් බලන්නෙ. Uni එක proof එකක් නෙමෙයි. ඒත් Scholarship Apply කරද්දි Uni එකට Points එනව Top Ranked නම්. Scholarship වර්ග 2ක් තියනව Aus වලනම්. එකක් Government Stipend, අනිත් එක Industry (Supervisor Fund). Supervisor Fund වලටනම් Uni එක අදාලම නෑ.
    Government Fund වලට නම් Bachelor කල Uni එකට Points එනව. දැන් Aus Gov funding cut කරල නිසා වැඩිය තියෙන්නෙ Industry fund

    Nah bro. Just asked a genuine question. I was thinking about doing a phd. Guess I have to do more research on what to do.
    if you are in academic, research field doing is Phd is good qualification for the job.
    But in sri lanka in industries research kind of jobs are very rare and most of them are gov jobs 🤪

    Thanks machanla.
