ear students,
Nowadays, a large number of Engineering students plan for further education before starting their Corporate Career. Some opt for Management track and some stick to technical track.
We aim to educate you about the benefits of doing your MS from abroad. In this blogl, we will compare two of the most popular Exams for further Technical education,so that you can take a Prudent decision as someone has said “Life doesn’t happen to us; we are an active participant. We get out of life what we choose.” (Mike Whitaker, author of The Decision Makeover )

Now you can judge for yourself that a Master's degree abroad is "far less competitive yet far more Rewarding".
“MS abroad is very expensive in comparison to Mtech in India and the tuition is out of my budget”.
Today, you need not worry as - Full tuition expenses+ Food + Lodging for the entire study duration can be very easily funded by education loans”. As per the loan repayment figures, more than 97% of Indian students repay their entire education loan within just 2.5 years after completing their MS.....so no burden on their parents.
Finally, we can suggest- Understand all your options and look into the sort of career you want, the place you want to live and the ambitions you’ve nurtured over the years. If you find that you’re happy living in India and would be proud to bag a job at a PSU, go for GATE and aim to get into a great IIT.
On the other hand, if you like to meet new people from different backgrounds, immerse yourself in foreign cultures and be well compensated for your hard work, set your sights to foreign shores and hop onto the GRE.
