It helps the stu-dents to switch between fields and also involve in research. As a gen-eral trend, an international master's degree is preferred by many of the Indian graduates.Significant growth has been seen in the number of Indian students mi-grating to foreign destinations for their higher studies. And this growth is expected to increase over the years.Getting Into a Premier Institute in India Versus Abroad for Higher Education:First, Indian entrance exams for high-er education, GATE and CAT are the two popular entrance examinations for entry into the elite IISc, IITs, and IIMs for masters in management or masters in technology programs. These exams are tough to crack. For example the GATE examination, a student should have an in-depth un-derstanding of all the subjects taught in engineering to score well. But what if the student is not interested in a particular subject? And what if the student is weak in a certain topic? He still has to slog, put a lot of ef-fort in that subject just to do well in the exam. Second, foreign institutions don't base their admission decisions on the outcome of one examination. The GRE exam is comparatively a lot eas-ier as compared to GATE or CAT. They take into account various differ-ent aspects of a student's profile like project work, research experience, academic performance, extracurric-ular, relevant work experience, and social contribution. All these aspects are developed not in six months or one year, rather over a period of four Seema SinghThe B.M.S.
