  2. The primary task of supervisors is to provide research scholars with resources and a strong platform. Now, students often get confused while choosing the right supervisor. So, here is a list of 5 tips to help Ph.D candidatesto identify the right guide for them.

  3. A Guide With Shared Interests • After you decide your research topic or area, you should look for a supervisor, who has similar interests like you. • To know that, you should search the profile background of different supervisors. You must collect information about their specialization papers, research works, and teaching areas to know if they ever had worked on the same field that you have chosen.

  4. Have Some Initial Visits • Before you undertake your research work, organize some meeting with your guide in person. • This primary visit with your supervisor is essential to discuss your research plan and potential. • Take his advice and present your opinions to build a foundation of partnership. This will also help you to know more about your supervisor.

  5. Talk With Seniors • Another best way to know your supervisor is to discuss about him with senior research fellows from the department. • Ask them about the supervisor’s mentoring skill, his/her nature, working relation, commitment etc. • Seniors will know better about these things as they may have some working experience with the supervisors.

  6. Collect Different Feedback Try to collect some feedbacks about the supervisor • how he/she guides students, • does he/she have any negative record, • how does he/she care about students or maintains healthy work relationship, • what opportunities does the supervisor provide to his/her students, • how many years of supervising experience does he/she have etc.

  7. Broaden Your Network • You need to broaden your network with faculty members, present and past students, lab assistants, and senior research fellows. • You will have a much better understanding of what the supervisor is like as a person.
