M.S in USA

Hi Raj,
Typically, more than 2 backlogs are not recommended. If you are planning for a high ranked then you won't be accepted with backlogs. Also this will completely depend on the university. There is no explicit mention of these things on university websites and these are confidential matters. Will vary from profile to profile as well.

Hi Aryan,
Different universities would be having different admission requirements and selection process. For MS admissions Bachelor degree marks are more important but they will also check the 12th grades. However, it's the Bachelor degree, the current scores which are given more weight.

Greetings from Shiksha.
Since both countries are good to peruse Mechanical Engineering. But Germany would be better among these two options, because it has more scopes and opportunities for Technical Fields.

Hi Akanksha,
GRE preparation may take around 3 to 5 months depending on your own caliber, convenience etc. It is good practice if you begin by taking a mock test, you will know where you stand and you can be your revision accordingly. Focus on areas where you need improvement, however, don't underestimate areas of strengths, these topics or areas will give you the scope to score higher. Take mock tests regularly before and after a revision. Good luck.

Hello,
When you are applying to universities abroad it is important you follow the timelines. Ideally, you should start the application process a year ahead of the intakes. By now, admission rounds have closed and students have been issued visas too, atleast most of them. You can start your process early this year for a timely application next year. Alternatively look for countries in Europe, most universities have rolling admissions.

Hi Raman, take your GRE. However, you already hold a Masters, admission will be tricky. Since, you are there in US already you can gain information more easily. Check the websites for program specific information and admission requirements. If you are still an international applicant you must follow norms set for internationals otherwise you will apply through the same process and pay the same fee as domestic applicants.

Hello,
There are many colleges which are available for MS in CS depending on your profile, You should be giving GRE & have good academics in your undergrad degree with least backlogs. Besides, you should have strong statement of purpose & letter of recommendation from your professors in support of your profile.
You may refer to https://studyabroad.shiksha.com/ms-in-abroad-dc11509 for university options.
If you are planning to go ahead without GRE, you may look at Concordia University Chicago, Northeastern Illinois University, Northern Arizona University, University of Bridgeport, University of Mississippi etc, with only TOEFL.

Hi Ravish,
Check QS world ranking for university rankings. MIT, CalTech, Carnegie Mellon, RWTH Aachen etc are some of the best you could think of, admissions are competitive though.

Hi Parth,
Many universities in the US do accept three-year degree. You have to get a WES evaluation of your Bachelor's degree for this. Please check the websites and email them. Universities which strictly mention they don't accept three year degree won't oblige and no point negotiating with them. Take your GRE too.
Good luck.
