Hi sir My daughter is doing fourth sem btech in biotechnology and biochemical engg from a govt college in Trivandrum.She plans for masters abroad mostly US. can u please guide on how to go about it.
Ans: Hi, it’s great that your daughter is planning ahead. Since she’s in 4th semester now and wants to do her Master’s abroad, especially in the US, here’s a simple step-by-step guide:

1. Focus on Academics
Keep her CGPA as strong as possible—above 8.0 ideally. US universities value consistent academic performance.
2. Start Building Profile
• Internships: Try to get internships in biotech or related fields, even if they’re small.
• Projects/Research: Encourage her to work on mini-projects or assist professors in research.
• Online Courses: She can take 1-2 certification courses (Coursera, edX) in relevant areas like bioinformatics, genetics, or data analysis.
3. Prepare for Exams
• GRE: Start preparing by 5th semester if required by target universities (some have waived it, but it’s still accepted by many).
• TOEFL or IELTS: Needed to prove English proficiency. She can prepare after GRE.
4. Shortlist Universities
By 6th or 7th semester, shortlist about 8–10 universities based on her interest, budget, and profile. A mix of ambitious, moderate, and safe options.
5. Application Process (During final year)
• Write strong SOP (Statement of Purpose)
• Get LORs (Letters of Recommendation) from professors/internship guides
• Prepare resume with academic and co-curricular highlights
• Apply around Oct–Dec of final year (deadlines vary, so check early)
6. Scholarships
Most MS programs offer partial funding or research assistantships. Having good academic and research background helps.
7. Visa Process
Once she gets admission, start preparing for visa interviews and financial documents.
Let her start slow and steady now. No need to rush, but the earlier she plans, the smoother it will be.
