In my field (social science) you do a PhD in order to learn research methods and familiarize yourself with the literature you are going to relate to in your research. Without this background, it would be virtually impossible to get punished in a big journal.

If you are serious about research, you should do a research Masters / PhD somewhere. What if you join a non-top university? Or can you work on your exam skills? Many universities offer support with that.

_Please_ let it be intentional that you wrote punished! It conveys the feeling of publishing so well.

"non-top universities" actually publish contents that are not up to the mark in my opinion, however, there are exceptions. Also in many cases, I have seen that mediocre universities of India have a very poor environment for research that actually demotivates the bright candidates and hampers their performance. EDIT: most universities / institutes in India focus and excel in undergraduate programs.
