Ans: Hello Husna. To begin with, thank you for contacting us.
Coming to the question, it is understandable that you have certain concerns regarding your son’s education in the USA. Given the potential burden regarding finances, here are some factors that you can consider.
1. Encourage your son to explore various funding options in the USA. This includes researching about various scholarships, finance assistance, tuition-fee waivers and stipend for research or teaching assistance.
2. Universities offer career services for its students. This could be an advantage for your son for better job prospects and connecting with potential employers.
3. Consider Return on Investment (ROI) by pursuing a master’s degree in Chemical Engineering from Purdue University. Consider job prospects, annual gross salary, demand in the market, etc.
4. A master’s degree is considered one option, your son can consider alternative academic paths like certifications or diploma.

my Son has done BTech in computer Science in 2023 from NIT Jalandhar and campus placed in Indian Fintech and earning 15CTC. He is gaining experience there for more than one year for now. What is advisable for future course go for Masters in USA or any other country or continue with job in India by switching companies. Due to job market crunch he is also preparing for upto Group B level Govt jobs as Plan B. What would be best advice for long term and settling after marriage.
Ans: Please have one directional goal. No dual policy. Let him go for MS from some good American University and after that he can get a good job in USA. No point in switching companies in India. A rolling stone gathers no moss. Forget about Govt. job in India. His talent won't be utilized and there will be routine transfers. So hit the bull's eye. Have a decent GRE and TOEFL score, have three good recommendation from his professors, one good SOP (statement of purpose) and after seeing the GRE score I will suggest the universities. Mostly in all the reputed universities of USA at least one student of mine is there sas a Professor and half of the year I stay in USA. No worries. I am there to counsel him. Only he must fix one aim. No ambiguity. Have unique aim, work hard with proper decision, rest the guidance will be given by me. Recommended more than hundred students to different reputed universities of US right from Princeton to Texas A&M, Clemson to Vermont. Never forget that I AM THERE BY THE SIDE OF YOUR SON LIKE AN INVISIBLE SHADOW TO PROTECT HIM AND GUIDE HIM.
