Study Abroad

Hi Mayank,
Yes, universities abroad offer scholarships to deserving applicants. This is also the case for France and Germany. You will be eligible for scholarship and these are given on merit basis at the time of admission. You may check the Campus France and DAAD India websites for special scholarship schemes for Indian students.

Hi Priyank, The duration of Bachelor's Degree programs in Canada is of 4 years. Even if you do Diploma from India, you must complete the 4-year Bachelor's degree programme. You may still check with some colleges if they can transfer you into a 2nd year class but this is very rare. They are very strict with their rules and you must comply.

Hi Mayank,
To study abroad you must complete 10+2, some universities may accept Diploma after 12th. Apart from qualifications, you must pass entrance tests like IELTS or TOEFL, SAT, ACT etc. depending on where you want to study. In India, you need to take college or state-specific entrance tests like BITSAT, VITEEE or even IIT JEE. Alternatively majority of the Diploma holders apply for lateral entry into B.Tech courses. In this case, entrance tests can be avoided. You can go through numerous college websites and find out the eligibility.

Hi Vishakha,
You need to clarify something here, do you want to pursue architecture, nanotechnology or chemical engineering?

Hi Rishi,
There is no lateral entry system in MBA abroad. Basically, as of now, you are not eligible because you don't have work experience. All major MBA abroad programs require work experience unlike in India. You may check MS Management programs not requiring work experience but again entering into the 2nd year will depend on whether or not you have met the admission policies and credits of the desired university.

Hi Nidhin,
With a chemistry degree, you are not eligible to study automobile engineering and related disciplines If at all you want to study about automobiles. You can check out courses like applied chemistry in automobiles. You may check the DAAD website for relevant courses and universities offering the particular courses.

Here is a roadmap to help you:
1. Prepare for GMAT and get an amazing score.
2. Do internship and work.
3. Do some research and self-development projects. Build something good and useful.
4. Shortlist the colleges you wish to apply to and go to their websites to learn more about their requirements.
5. Get recommendations from your workplace. Recommendations from superiors in the workplace are very valuable. Recommendations from teachers are not so valuable if you're going for MBA.
6. Check out the essay topics for your target colleges and start thinking what you are going to write.

Go to their website and fill the application form. Admissions in MIT are highly competitive, with less than 5% selectivity. If you feel you have it in you what it takes, then go for it.

Do you mean that you will study in India and look for a job in the US or study any of these in the US and work there? Whatever you mean, my recommendation goes for an MBA from a reputed university if you are interested in Business. If not, then first find out what you wish to do and go for it. All streams/courses have ample scope in the US or India.
