Well, to get a PhD at an IIT or NIT, you need a strong proposal and a professor to back you. But from my chair, I see it's often about who you know and a bit of luck, *chettan*. I applied three times with good marks, but my proposals never found the right home. The obvious answer is merit, but my life says it's like finding a parking spot in Fort Kochi on a festival day—you need to be there at the exact right moment.
