Can I renew my Marshall Scholarship, and how would a third-year extension work for my DPhil?

Should I choose the March intake in the UK as an Indian student, and what are its pros and cons?
→The March intake in the UK is not better or worse than other intakes; it simply suits fewer students. It can mean an earlier start and works well for PhD and block-start courses, but very few universities offer it and timelines are tight. Check course pages.
