Hi Karan. My daughter (21 yo), is currently doing her BSC AI (honors) from an institute in India. She did her 11th and 12th in Commerce hence had to take BSC AI as she could not do BTech. NMIMS is shutting down this course from the next year as it is not getting good admissions numbers. Now we are in a fix. Their placement and intern is also not good (they are not helping there). With all the issues in US and the job market there, we are not keen in sending her to US for her masters. Is Australia or Finland (suggested by some of our friends) a good option to look at? or should she do 1-2 years of work here and then go in 2028 for the masters in US? Please help

Ans: Three good paths:
A) Finish BSc AI, build applied portfolio (ML ops, data engineering, GenAI apps), then Master’s in Australia (good applied programs; strong post-study work rights).
B) Finland has research-oriented CS/AI, lower tuition options, but English-taught + scholarship competition is stiff; great if she likes research culture and can handle winters + smaller job market.
C) Work 1–2 years in India, then MS in US (2028) once markets stabilize—pick data/AI systems tracks.
Given placements are weak now, I’d choose A or C depending on finances; A if she wants to go right away and build global experience; C if you prefer stronger ROI with work-ex.

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!

Ans: Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us. Making the decision to go for further studies involves several considerations that could impact your daughter’s academic future. Here is what you can do:
1. Start by shortlisting the countries. Research the specific skills required.
2. Understand your daughter’s long-term goals. Understand if she wishes to work for specific roles or industries.
3. Compare the curriculum, faculty expertise, research facilities, and industry connections of the program she is considering.
Coming to the cost part, yes, you can take educational loans so as to cover the tuition fees. Additionally, there are grants provided by many NGOs, institutions, and the government for academically brilliant students. At the end, the decision to pursue a program abroad should be in alignment with your daughter's aspirations. Encourage her to seek advice from professors and alumni for a better understanding of how the studies go on abroad.
