M.S in USA

Cost of doing B.Tech and MS from USA is very high and Return on Investment (ROI) will be very low and poor. With USA work visa regime becoming tougher, you may not able to work in USA and earn in dollars to repay any loan. Therefore, I will like to advise you to do B.Tech from a good engineering college in India and then MS in USA.

Hi,
MS is a valuable degree for those who want to make a career in technical domain. It is like M.Tech in India. Hence, if you are interested in pursuing a career in technical domain then MS will be really helpful in career growth. How much value it will have for you specifically, we will be able to comment, only once we have information about your previous educational qualifications and experience. Also the value depends on the reputation of the university from where you are doing MS.

Hi,
For MS in the USA, you need the following:
1. GRE scores
2. TOEFL/IELTS as per the universities requirements
3. Work experience is preferred by most of the universities
4. Research/publication related to your field
5. A CV and two letters of recommendation
There could be additional requirements as well so choose the specialization and the universities and apply.

Academics record is one of the critetia for admission in MS in the American universities in addition to other criteria such as GRE score, recommendation letters, statement of purpose, etc.

Hi,
Just wait for 6 months and let the conditions on H1B visa be more clear. While media might be over hyping the situation, there should be some clarity on policies for sure. You may consider Canada, Germany, Australia, etc

As of now there is no change in USA policy on student visa but you can expect some changes in days to come. You are advised to wait for some more time before investing in further education in USA.

Hi,
The application process is more or less the same. However, the entry requirements are different with every university. You can check the university website for requirements such as GRE, TOEFL or IELTS. GRE is mainly required in US. You will also need recommendation letters and a SOP.
Some of the best universities in the countries you mentioned are:
1. Esslingen University.
2. RWTH Aachen.
3. Berlin Institute of Technology.
4. MIT.
5. California Institute of Technology.
6. Georgia Tech.
7. University of California – Berkeley.
8. National University of Singapore.
9. Nanyang Technological University.

Hi Sarfaraz, you can pursue your MS after you clear your B.Tech with good grades and with a valid GRE score. Additionally you must take TOEFL. Much cannot be said about job opportunities now with the new government setting in, know that competition have been always tight. No program nor university will guarantee a job, finding an employer to sponsor your H1B will also be tough. As a E&C student you will be eligible for STEM OTP for 3 years so you can rigorously job hunt with the help of the university's career support office and work.

Don't feel bad due to your low GPA. Take the things head on. First score good in GRE and TOEFL iBT. Let these score speak about your competence, then focus on writing good SOP and getting suitable LOR. I am sure if you represent your profile in a complete manner, you will be able to get into many good universities.

Yes, it is perfectly fine to apply for MS program in USA after completing your integrated program of 6 years. Beside this, you also need to clear GRE and TOEFL IBT.
