Hello ,
I came across your site a few weeks ago and it is very informative , which is why i have subscribed to it .   I wish to do MS/ME in either aerospcae or mechanical . I am 2nd year mechanical engineering student [ 2nd yr just started !!]. My X and XII marks are 88 % and 81 % respectively . I cleared my 1st yr without any backlogs with an aggregate of 67 %. I can definitely improve my BE percentage more to at least 70+ . My question is how to improve my CV more besides the academics. Should i do some internships or projects ?? Will dat help if i get low marks in GRE etc ..??
…..also i wish to go abroad immediately after final year , when should i start preparing for stuff ??? ………one last small question { please bare with me } , I was also considering Singapore as other destination i.e. NUS and NTU in singapore ….

Is it comparatively easier to get there….and whats the scope of engineering there ???

How much score is better to got a admission in top 20 clg is in us for doing ms(cse) acadamic b.tech    74%,12th stanard 90,   10 th is 89%,i have given ppts and more sports certificate

Having good academics will not get you into Top 10 Universities in America or Top 20 Universities in USA. You need to have research exposure, good recommendation letter and lot of additional efforts in creating projects apart from course work. You can learn how to get all that exposure from Premium Membership Club.

Dear HSB,
Could you please tell me about the financial aid that foreign students can obtain in US universities. Especially those students wishing to study microbiology or biotechnology.

International students are eligible to get Scholarship, Research Assistant, Teaching Assistant or Fellowship and Part time jobs upto 20 hours per week on campus. Not every student will get Financial Aid in US University, so you may want to get Internship using CPT.

Some Universities want a copy of my B.Sc(Hons) certificate issued by my university.But my university issue only one copy or the certificate and the university doesnot even accept notarized, scanned or xerox copy. what should I do.Besides my GRE(general score) is 1440(V-660,Q-780) and TOEFL 105. My undergrad marks percentage is 58.125% from the dept of Apllied Chemistry and Chemical Technology. What tier of university is suitable for me. I have no articles/publications. what are the chances?

First you have to find Universities in US that will accept students with 15 years of education. Since BSc degree in India is 3 years, you may have to get one more year of education, before many universities will consider you for admission.

US Universities will ask for Official Transcripts, bit original copy of degree certificates. You have been misinformed about the degree certificate requirements. To get tire of Universities, join Premium Membership Club.

Sam

sir,  Please give me the list of top 10 universities offering MS and Phd plan for Pharmaceutics with their requirements.

Sam, do you have research experience and GRE score above 1400 to get into Top Universities in MS or PhD. If you ask a student who just decided to studying US will have dream to study in Top 10 Universities in US. That’s how everyone will start looking at universities.  After they take first GRE practice test, then Top 10 will become Top 50. Having dream to study in 10 Universities in good, but knowing one’s personal ability is more important.
