Frequently asked questions
What can I expect from a 1:1 session with you?
I believe every student comes with a different profile, goal, and set of challenges. So, my sessions are not about giving generic advice. We’ll understand where you currently stand, identify what needs improvement, address your specific doubts, and build a practical roadmap that you can actually work on after the session.
Can you help me with SOP, CV, and Research Proposal?
Yes! I regularly work with students on Academic CVs, SOPs, Research Proposals, Cover Letters, and Cold Emails. I focus not just on grammar or formatting, but on how effectively your experiences, research interests, skills, and goals are presented. The aim is to make your application clearer, more authentic, and aligned with the opportunity you are applying for.
I don’t have a very strong profile. Can you still help me?
Definitely. You don’t need to have a perfect profile before reaching out. In many cases, the first step is understanding what you already have, what is missing, and what can realistically be improved. I’ll help you identify your strengths, gaps, and possible next steps rather than simply comparing your profile with someone else’s.
I’m confused about my next step in academics/research. Can I book a session?
Of course. You don’t always need to come with a perfectly framed question. If you’re confused about Master’s, PhD, research internships, fellowships, thesis projects, study abroad, or building your research profile, we can use the session to bring some clarity to your situation and identify the most practical path forward.
I have no publications. Can I still apply for research opportunities?
Yes. Publications can strengthen a profile, but they are not the only factor considered. Research experience, academic performance, projects, technical skills, motivation, and how well you communicate your interests can also matter. I can help you understand how to present the experiences you already have.
Do you provide templates and resources after the session?
Depending on the service, I also have dedicated resources and templates for each of the service!
I am struggling to choose a Master’s thesis topic. Can you help?
Yes. We can discuss your interests, existing skills, available resources, and possible research directions and work towards a topic that is both scientifically meaningful and realistically achievable within your timeline.
What makes your mentoring sessions different from generic online advice?
I try to keep the sessions personalised and practical. Instead of simply telling you what you “should” do, I first understand your profile and goals and then help you figure out what makes sense specifically for your situation. My aim is that you leave the session with clarity, actionable steps, and a direction to work towards.
Can you guide me for the Khorana Fellowship based on your own experience?
Yes. I was a Khorana Fellow, and I went through the application process and research experience myself. So, I can help you understand the fellowship not just from publicly available information, but also from the perspective of someone who has actually been through the journey.
What mistakes do students commonly make while applying for Khorana Program for Scholars?
Some common issues include using generic application materials, not clearly communicating research interests, treating the SOP as a resume in paragraph form, overlooking research fit, and starting the application too late. I can help you identify and avoid these issues while working on your own application.
Why should I seek fellowship guidance from you?
Because I’ve been on the other side of the application. I was awarded several fellowships myself, and over the years I’ve also had the opportunity to mentor students who were exploring competitive research fellowships. So, when we work together, I can share both the perspective of an applicant who went through the process and the perspective I’ve gained from mentoring other students. My goal is to help you approach the application with more clarity, preparation, and confidence.
Why am I not getting research internships or fellowships despite a good profile?
Usually the problem is presentation and targeting, not the profile itself. Common reasons include a CV that lists coursework instead of research outcomes, generic emails sent to mismatched labs, late applications, an SOP that reads like everyone else's, and no follow-up strategy. Fix these one at a time, tailor your CV to each opportunity, write short personalised emails, apply early in the cycle, and get your SOP and CV reviewed by someone who has been through the same applications before the next round opens.
