Arre, it's a marathon, not a sprint—you start preparing for GRE and SOPs a full year before deadlines. But I'll tell you, the real test is finding those fully-funded programs; filter for 'PhD' even for a Master's, as they waive tuition and offer stipends. My timeline was set by the free GRE prep books a customer left behind, and my SOP wrote itself about watching accounts dry up in our *dukaan*. They don't want just your IIT rank; they want the story of why it matters in your *ghar*.
