Study in USA  

Based on our experience and the current US market conditions, we advise completing your undergraduate degree in India and then considering a master's degree in the US. The primary reason for this is that you can save four years of tuition costs for your bachelor's degree, and there is less competition for master's programs. 

A master's degree is also considered a specialization that can help you obtain a visa. 

After graduating from college, you are eligible for OPT or CPT, which are types of work permits. However, many employers prefer candidates with experience. Having at least three years of work experience can increase your chances of success in interviews. This experience can also strengthen your case for a visa, as it demonstrates why you need a master's degree and why you chose to pursue it in the US. 

Additionally, having work experience can help you financially afford your education and better prepare for exams like the GRE. 

The most critical step is to consider your financial situation carefully. Pursuing a master's degree in the US is a significant investment.
