what is phd?what is involved in phd?

First let us clearly understand what is involved in doing a PhD.
PhD is, as everyone knows, about doing research.
And research is about formulating problems or questions whose answers the research or practitioner community wants to know, and whose answers are not known. Doing research is to provide some answer to these questions.
So, the key aspects of doing a PhD are (a) formulating a question or a problem that is of interest and that can be solved, and (b) providing a useful/interesting solution to the stated problem.
The results obtained are presented in national/international conferences, and/or submitted to scientific journals.
The problems that are addressed by a PhD scholar can range from very difficult open problems to evolutionary technology issues.
In Computer Science, the problem area can range from highly theoretical/mathematical to modeling and experimentation or building new technologies.
Then there are problems of the type where something innovative and useful is done using computers and software.
Working on such problems typically involves building systems and prototypes.
In other words, a scholar doing a PhD in Computer Science has a wide range of areas to choose from, depending on his inclination, ability, and interests.
Generally, PhD programs world over proceed as follows: do some course work, pass some qualifying exam, and then write a thesis that has to be defended (sometimes, at the early stages of the thesis a `proposal' may have to be submitted.)
In a place like CSE/IIT Kanpur, generally, a student who joins the PhD program after completing his/her B.Tech/BE will spend about 1 year doing the courses, about 1 to 2 years for formulating the problem, which also requires an in-depth study of the chosen area, and about 2 years or more for developing the solutions and writing the thesis.
Once the thesis is written, it is examined by some experts and a thesis defense is scheduled. This process takes about 6 months, but the candidate can start his post PhD job once the thesis is submitted.
Hence, doing a PhD takes about as much time as doing a BE, or the amount of time a doctor spends doing his residency and MD.
Doing a PhD is indeed hard. However, the difficulty is not because extreme intelligence is necessary. Brilliance, of course, helps - brilliant people can attack hard problems and produce solid results and leave a permanent mark on the field.
However, students with good academic background and some amount of creativity can also do a PhD, and do quite well.
Completing a PhD primarily requires a drive, motivation, and hard work. Hard and motivated work determines not only the quality of the final work, but also the amount of time needed to complete the PhD.
In general, a PhD can be completed in 4 to 5 years - 4 years for the motivated and 5 for the not-so-motivated.
