M.Sc

M.Sc is more like a degree for pure sciences. M.Sc Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Botany, Zoology. There is also M.Sc Computer Science in some Universities. These are typically good for folks who wish to pursue a career in academia or those who wish to do PhD's or MPhil's. I've also seen some folks do a MBA later if they change their minds and join the industry. I've also seen some people with M.Sc. Chemistry who ended up in Chemical & Pharma industries. There's also M.Sc. Pathology where people pursuing this course land up in Pathology labs or Pharma companies. MS is more like a professional course that will be more industry focused. IIIT Hyderabad (Welcome to MSIT programme) has one, I recommend you check out M.Tech courses too. BITS Pilani has a distance learning course for working professionals which has been there for almost 30 yearshttp://www.bits-pilani.ac.in/uni. IIT's have M.Tech courses too which are best in the industry. You need to give the GATE exam and submit the score to join MS/M.Tech courses in India. Hope this helps.
