My son is 5th sem BTech(MSE) student in IIT Kanpur. He is very much interested to do MS/ Research in ML/ Robotics in USA. His seniors discouraged him as are financially insolvent to bear the burden. Please advise what would be the best option for him..
Ans: Hello Srabani. Thank you for reaching out to us. It is understandable that pursuing an MS or research opportunities in machine learning (ML) and robotics in the USA is financially demanding. However, let me tell you that you have the option of taking out an education loan to pursue studies in the US. In addition to this, there are university scholarships and external scholarships offered by various organisations. As you go to study abroad, you may find research assistantships (RA) and teaching assistantships (TA) that waive tuition fees and do provide a stipend. Your son can also choose to do internships to cover his living expenses. While the financial challenges of pursuing an MS or research in ML and robotics in the USA are significant, scholarships, internships, and assistantships would be a viable option for achieving his academic goals.
