1. Your father did it and wants you to as well. Your father never did it and hence wants you to do it. You will not be very marriageable if you do not. Your elder brother with his PG will earn more than you will all of your life. So, for the sake of your family, society and the programme, you do it.
2. You do not know what you ‘actually’ want to do. Therefore, you decide to buy time by doing a PG.
3. You know what you want to do, but do not feel technically equipped or competent enough to do it without a PG.
4. You are sick, tired and completely bored with the world around you and need a significant change and the PG is a god send excuse to make an escapist trip.
5. You actually want to study the subject in question, meet likeminded people and your life would simply be incomplete if you did not.
Note: Other than a few Bengali friends who have gone ahead to do their PhDs, I know no one including myself, you did a PG for reason 5.
