You will have to first complete your Master’s level education in Occupational Therapy so as to be eligible to apply for a PhD course. There are integrated courses too i.e. from Master’s degree to a Ph. D. course. There are entrance tests like GRE /TOEFL /IELTS to be taken, but would vary with the country you are applying to.There are many Universities across the globe that offers Ph. D programs in various fields. However, you need to first decide the country, as well as the program and then accordingly follow the procedure.
I am B.E. (Computer Science) Graduated in June 2010. I got 72% in 10th, 59% in 12th, and 56% throughout Graduation. Due to this I didn’t get any placement. So I joined NIIT for a Java course due to their placement promise. But my course will complete in mid 2011. Will I get a good job despite my 1 year gap after graduating?
