Ans: Hello Anand,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am happy to hear that your son is currently in the 3rd year of his Bachelor's degree in Artificial Intelligence Engineering. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that if your son intends pursuing higher education overseas, he could consider studying at any of the below mentioned countries:

In the UK, your son could consider applying to the University of Cambridge, University College London, University of Oxford, and Imperial College London, regarded for their programs related to AI. The University of Melbourne, University of Sydney, and Australian National University in Australia are also known for robust Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence courses. In the USA, Stanford University, Carnegie Mellon University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and UC Berkeley, are renowned for offering robust programs in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science. Applying to the University of British Columbia, University of Toronto, and McGill University in Canada known for their outstanding Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning programs could also be considered by your son. The Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning programs at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), and National University of Singapore (NUS) in Singapore could also be factored in by your son. Additionally, your son could consider applying to universities in Netherlands viz., University of Amsterdam, Eindhoven University of Technology, and Delft University of Technology that are known for offering Artificial Intelligence programs in the English language. Top-notch German universities like University of Heidelberg, Technical University of Munich, and University of Stuttgart, also offer programs related to Artificial Intelligence that could be opted for by your son. Moreover, your son could also consider applying to universities in Sweden, Switzerland, and France.

When deciding on the finest choice for your son to pursue his higher education overseas, I would recommend that you take into account the cost, his hobbies, as well as his professional objectives. Additionally, investigate the prerequisites for admission as well as the application deadlines pertaining to each individual country and university of your choosing.

Ans: Hello Somnath,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am happy to hear that your son is currently pursuing the 3rd year of his Bachelor’s of Technology degree in Mechanical Engineering. Taking into account your son’s choices and circumstances, I would recommend that earning a Master's degree overseas may be an excellent alternative to consider.

Given that your son is at present pursuing his Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) degree in Mechanical Engineering from VIT Vellore, his concern regarding the limited possibilities for mechanical engineers, as well as his unwillingness to appear for competitive exams viz., GATE, studying a Master's program overseas could provide him with new opportunities for specialization and growth. With an outstanding 8.5 CGPA, he has a decent chance of getting admitted to prestigious universities in Australia or Europe.

A number of universities that are regarded for their programs in engineering and that offer various specializations within Mechanical Engineering are located in both, Australia and Europe. Furthermore, in these regions, there are specific universities that are known for their affordability, in turn, making them ideal for middle-class families.

Your son can apply to the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney), a renowned university in Australia with a solid reputation in engineering. Encompassing a broad range of topics within mechanical engineering, the Master of Engineering Science (Mechanical) program offered at UNSW Sydney, gives students the opportunity to specialize based on personal interests. He can also choose to apply to the University of Melbourne, one of Australia's elite universities, generally known for the technology and engineering programs it offers. The Master of Engineering (Mechanical) program at the University of Melbourne provides possibilities for research and advanced study in a vast array of mechanical engineering topics. In Australia, employment possibilities are offered to overseas students post-study, in turn, improving their chances of acquiring real-world experience on completion of their degree.

On the other hand, your son can also consider universities in Europe viz., the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany, renowned for the robust engineering programs it offers. One of Europe's leading technical universities, TUM's Master of Mechanical Engineering program offers a number of specializations, in turn enabling students to customize their coursework to fit their professional objectives and interests. Overseas students in Germany are offered low-cost or tuition-free education, thereby making it affordable. Delft University of Technology in Netherlands is well-known for the technology and engineering programs it offers. An extensive array of specializations, encompassing energy engineering, biomechanical engineering, and aerospace engineering, are offered in the Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering program at Delft University. Remember that a high standard of living is provided by the Netherlands and is comparatively cheaper in contrast to several other European nations.

I would recommend that your son conducts a comprehensive study on the programs offered by each university, prerequisites for admission, possibilities for scholarship, as well as costs of living prior to making an informed choice. Not just that, he should also take into account variables viz., visa policies, prerequisites for language competency, and prospective employment opportunities after graduation. Seeking help from educational advisors or getting in touch with alumni from these universities can also provide meaningful insights. To ensure that he is successful in his future undertakings, I would suggest that your son selects a university and program that best resonates with his educational and professional objectives.
