Funded PhD Consulting
End-to-end. From profile to funded admit.
A funded PhD is not luck — it’s a campaign. We audit your profile, build your documents, customise every outreach to the professor you’re writing to, and track it all — until funded.
Consulting is delivered under Connected Researcher — our parent organisation.
How it works
Audit first. Price after. Then we build.
1
Profile audit — free
Your whole profile audited: academics, research, gaps, positioning. This comes first — and it’s free.
2
Price after audit
A fixed quote based on what your audit actually needs. No flat fees, no paying for work you don’t need.
3
CV & resume
Built for research positions and PIs — not a generic job resume.
4
Customised SOPs
Every SOP tailored to the professor and lab you’re writing to — their work, your fit, in their language.
5
Outreach email drafts
Personalised drafts for every professor contact — so your first email gets opened, not archived.
6
Personal tracker
Every outreach, application and reply logged in your own tracker — review it yourself, update it as you go.
For abroad: a country-wise funding and application approach is built into every step.
Who it’s for
Masters students who refuse to leave funding to chance.
Final-year and recent Masters graduates in the sciences and engineering — targeting funded PhDs in India (PMRF, CSIR, institute fellowships) and abroad (Europe, USA, UK, Japan, Singapore and more).

FAQ
Asked by every Masters student.
Do you guarantee admission or funding?
No — nobody honest can. What we guarantee is a professional-grade campaign: an audited profile, customised documents, precise outreach and full tracking. That’s what converts profiles into funded admits.
How is the price decided?
After your free profile audit. We quote a fixed price based on what your profile actually needs — no flat fees, no paying for work you don’t need.
I’m in my first year of Masters. Is it too early?
It’s the perfect time. Early starters can fix profile gaps — a publication, a strong project, a test score — before applications open. Book the free audit and we’ll map your timeline.
Do you cover PhDs outside India?
Yes — USA, Europe, UK, Canada, Japan, Singapore, Australia and more. Funding models differ by country; your strategy accounts for that from day one.
What is the personal tracker?
Your own log of the campaign: every professor contacted, every application sent, every reply received. You can review and update it yourself at any time — nothing happens in a black box.
Your funded admit starts with a free audit.
Honest evaluation. A roadmap you can use even if we never work together.
