I'm from India and needed some suggestions for PhD admissions . I have completed my undergraduate this year with physics as my major. I have 2 gap years after my high school . How much does gap years affect PhD interviews? I have around 8.6 GPA in my undergrad on scale of 10 . If I maintain GPA above 8 and do some projects in master's . Will it be enough to get through? Or year gaps would be problem in interviews? As i will have overall 3 gap years .

We can't really do individualized answers to admissions questions, you can see general information at a canonical post here: https://academia.stackexchange.com/q/176908/63475 otherwise you'll have to distill down to one very specific aspect of admissions rather than a general blueprint for you. – Bryan Krause Sep 16 '22 at 17:49
