Yes, of course. Cross-departmental collaboration goes a long way and can turn out to be extremely promising for your PhD academic ride, as you get to build strong networks, gain fresh research perspectives, have more scope for research and resource access, and come up with a comprehensive thesis at the end of the PhD course duration, supported by original research findings.

There isn't a predetermined parameter as such for assigning supervisors to PhD students at most of the popular colleges and universities in India. Sometimes students themselves look for the ones whose expertise aligns well with their research topic, or the supervisor is appointed by the department based on the available research faculty, keeping in mind the workload and subject matter expertise of the professor. So, it usually varies from one college to another.

The college ranking can be a reason for choosing a PhD course. It shouldn't be the only one. You need to look for the college that is known for its research opportunities, supervisor expertise, and academic culture in particular. A doctorate degree is not a cakewalk and needs you to have complete dedication and passion for the research field to ensure future success.

This requires a lot of self-introspection at your end regarding your core research interest, passion, and future plans. Pursuing a PhD degree needs to have long-term commitment and the zeal to come up with something fresh and original as a contribution to the existing repertoire of knowledge.
Look for and read about various specialisation options and their future career options, take help from experts from your preferred field by reaching out to them via social media platforms and online professional community groups, and think about your strengths and shortcomings to come to make an informed decision.
