Well, you don't really need any skills to pursue an MA course. Just fulfill the eligibility requirements, and you're good to go. Most MA colleges require entrance exam scores, so you'd need that as well. 

To succeed in your field, some abilities will help you -

• Critical thinking
• Basic technical skills
• Writing & research skills

It's huge. An MA in India will open doors for research-based roles and further studies, like a PhD. You'll get in-depth knowledge in a specific area, which will eventually enhance your chances of getting higher pay. 

If you're planning to move abroad, I would suggest that you pursue your master's there only. It'll give you better chances of industry-networking, global exposure, more acceptance in the market, etc.
