Those are our national entrance exams for PhD fellowships—ICMR JRF for medical, ICAR NET for agriculture like mine, DBT-BET for biotech. Fellows get posted to universities or research institutes, but "posted" sounds formal; here, my posting is a shared lab in Shillong and my father’s stone bridges, which I study for my thesis on traditional engineering. The difference is in the fieldwork: an agriculture PhD isn’t just labs, it’s knowing why a hill slope needs a certain bean, a lesson I learnt sketching stonework while he hummed ka jingrwai.
