Hello Sir/Madam, My daughter is completing her 3rd year B.Tech (Information Science) this year. SGPA is 7.50 in all previous years. she wants to do her MS after completing her B.Tech. She wants to persue her MS in Germany or UK. My query is should she do her internship next year in India or get a job here or else in a foreign country. I am confused. Please help.

Ans: Hello Stan,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. Congratulations to your daughter as she finishes her third year of a B.Tech. program! It's a wise choice to pursue an MS following graduation, and both Germany and the UK have top-notch higher education options. Her internship decision is based on a variety of criteria and personal preferences.

Gaining international experience through an internship in a foreign nation can be useful if your daughter intends to study abroad for her MS. This experience will not only boost her profile, but will also allow her to become acquainted with the work culture and professional environment in another country. Additionally, it may be a chance for her to network and create connections that can help her future professional chances.

Internships abroad, however, may provide unique difficulties, including visa restrictions, language problems, and cultural acculturation. If your daughter wishes to stay in India, she can think about pursuing an internship with a respectable company in her industry. She will be exposed to the industry while also gaining useful real-world experience. She can also look at employment prospects in India, which will advance her career.

The choice should ultimately be in line with your daughter's ambitions, long-term objectives, and circumstances. Researching the particular criteria and opportunities in Germany and the UK, speaking with academic advisors or career counselors, and taking into account various issues like cost, language ability, and potential future career paths may all be helpful for her.

We mainly deal with overseas education. If your daughter is considering pursuing an education abroad, then please contact us. Thanks!

Dear Mr Mayank ,my daughter presently pursuing B Tech-CS (AI/ML) from SRM Chennai -in 2nd year at present -we are in two minds as to doing MS abroad or take up campus job if possible after passout -MS abroad obviously would be finicially challenging so i thought at least she can work for say 2 years to begin with & then .Could you be able to offer some advice on the same.
Ans: Hello Sougata,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am happy to hear that your daughter is currently pursuing the second year of her Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Computer Science (AI/ML). To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that deciding whether to begin working after earning a Bachelor’s degree in B.Tech- CS (AI/ML) or to go abroad for a Masters program can be a big decision. I would recommend that your daughter considers the following:

Firstly, I would suggest that you motivate your daughter to consider her professional objectives and ambitions. Consider whether she intends working in industry or pursuing research and academia. Remember that specialized information and possibilities for research can be offered through a Masters degree. A job on the contrary, can offer hands-on experience and skill advancement. Next, I would recommend that you investigate the AI/ML labor market both, locally and globally. Ascertain whether professionals with a Masters degree are highly sought-after or if pertinent work experience is equally valued. Coming to monetary considerations, bear in mind that finances play a key role in decision-making. Evaluate the cost of pursuing a Masters degree overseas taking into account the tuition costs, living costs, and any possible monetary assistance or scholarships. I would suggest that you compare this to the possible pay from an entry-level job post graduation or from a job on campus. Remember that significant networking possibilities as well as exposure to varied viewpoints, cultures, and technological advancements are offered by studying overseas. I would suggest that you think about the long-term advantages of developing a worldwide professional network and acquiring overseas experience. As the next step, I would recommend that you explore whether your daughter’s institution or future employers offer any possibilities for industry linkages or alliances. Bear in mind that besides improving her employment opportunities, these contacts can also offer insightful knowledge of the field. Motivate your daughter to consider her goals for personal development. Studying overseas can promote independence, flexibility and cultural understanding. Working, on the other hand, can provide useful skills and advance one’s career. Lastly, the choice should best resonate with your daughter’s personal objectives, ambitions, and financial circumstances. Prior to making a decision, I would recommend that your daughter gets in touch with mentors, employment consultants, former students, as well as industry experts to acquire new viewpoints and insights.

Hi, my son has secured an admission in a 2+2 BITS CSE program 2025 at Hyderabad (first 2 years) and Iowa state univ (for next 2 years). Under DASA he can potentially get AI at NITK or ECE at NIT Trichy or CSE in NITW (his CRL rank is 25200). Can you please advise and provide recommendations on what we can choose and reasons? We know 2+2 ISU program is more expensive compared to NIT DASA fees but is it worth the money vis-a-vis doing a B.Tech at NIT and doing a masters in US later? For this rank, what can he get at the said NITs under DASA?
Ans: The BITS Pilani–Iowa State University 2+2 CSE offers two years at BITS Hyderabad (ACM-aligned curriculum, NAAC A++ accreditation, state-of-the-art AI, data-science and cloud labs) followed by two years at Iowa State University (top-50 US engineering program, immersive B.S. in Computer Engineering, ISU merit scholarships up to US $4,500/year). Total direct tuition and campus fees for BITS Hyderabad amount to approximately ?10.5 L per year, while Iowa State tuition exceeds US $33,000 annually, plus living expenses. Graduates earn dual degrees with global brand recognition and typically secure near-100% placement through BITS’s 200+ recruiter network and ISU’s strong career services, commanding premium compensation packages in software, data science and R&D roles.

Under DASA with an All-India CRL of 25,200, he qualifies for: B.Tech AI at NIT Surathkal (AI cutoff: 26,688); B.Tech ECE at NIT Trichy (ECE cutoff: 66,706); and B.Tech CSE at NIT Warangal (CSE cutoff: 46,935). Each NIT features NBA accreditation, experienced PhD faculty, modern labs and strong industry MoUs. NITK AI and NITW CSE boast placement rates above 80% and growing AI/analytics recruitment pipelines, while NIT Trichy ECE records near-75% core-sector placements. Annual DASA fees at NITs range from US $15,000–18,000, significantly lower than BITS-ISU costs, with comparable scholarship opportunities limited.

Balancing long-term ROI, the BITS 2+2 path accelerates global exposure, dual-degree credentials and premium placements at higher upfront cost. A B.Tech at NIT followed by a US master’s entails lower initial investment, robust core engineering training and the flexibility to self-fund graduate studies through campus placements or scholarships.

Recommendation: Opt for BITS 2+2 CSE if you prioritise world-class international exposure, dual degrees and, top-tier placement networks despite higher fees. Choose a DASA seat at NIT (AI at NITK or CSE at NITW) for cost-effective core engineering training with solid placement and later pursue a US master’s via merit scholarships. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
