Please advice which college it best in Tamil Nadu etc. OR Can we opt for UG Engineering Courses abroad. Which country is best and what would be the budget approximately. Many Thanks!

Ans: Hi Ajay. Congratulations to your daughter on her impressive 8 GPA and her desire to pursue a master’s degree in the USA. When considering universities for her master’s degree in Computer Engineering, several factors like reputation of the university and the program, expertise of faculty members, location of the university, research and placement assistance can be taken into consideration.
The top universities in the USA for Computer Engineering include Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), Carnegie Mellon University, California Institute of Technology (CalTech),etc.
Regarding the cost of a master's degree in the USA, it can vary significantly, depending on the university, program duration, residency status, and other factors. On average, tuition and fees for a master's program in Computer Engineering at a reputable institution can range from $20,000 to $60,000 per year. Additionally, living expenses, including housing, food, transportation, and health insurance, should also be considered. It's advisable for your daughter to explore scholarships, assistantships, and other financial aid options to help offset the costs of her master's degree.

Ans: Hi. Navneet. Congratulations on getting admission to some prestigious institutions in India and abroad. Two choices are there you put here, Dubai and USA. Both options have merits and demerits. From an expense point of view, Dubai is preferable to the USA. It is more advisable to complete UG from CS BITS Dubai and go USA for a master's degree for better choices available there.

If you found this suggestion helpful, please consider following me.
