Graduate Admissions

Most US Universities require qualifications comparable to a U.S. Bachelor’s (Honours) degree (Four Year Degree Program). That means a minimum of 16 years of formal education. In the Indian context, it implies qualifying in a professional four-year degree like engineering or other such courses.

For Doctorate programs, most universities require a Master’s degree in that subject. In a few exceptional cases like a good undergraduate engineering degree, they may offer a direct admission to a Doctorate course.

If you have completed a three-year degree program in India, the advisable plan of action to maximize eligibility for U.S. graduate schools is to apply for a Post Graduate degree here in India. A one-year university affiliated program will make up for the fourth year of a U.S. Undergraduate degree.

Please Note:

Professional programs like the CA, ICWA, part time diplomas from a university such as those in Management, Communication may or may not be accepted. Though many Universities, especially Business Schools, have started recognizing the Indian CA.

Independent certificate courses offered by private institutions like APTECH, NIIT, etc. may or may not be accepted based on each individual university’s evaluation.

USA

One-year education of a two year degree course (like MTech, MA etc.) may not be accepted by most schools. The full course has to becompleted for qualification, unless there is a recognized university exam at the end of one year.

No standardized policy exists regarding the acceptance of such programs. Now a days a few universities are accepting the three-year Indian Graduation Degree for a few programs.

English Proficiency Tests

For most Universities students must demonstrate English language competency by providing a TOEFL score of 75 on the internet based test (iBT) or  IELTS score of 6.00 and above

Other Tests

Different programs require you to take certain standardized tests for admission and there is a certain minimum that you have to score in those tests to get admitted to those universities :

The various tests are:

GMAT : For Graduate Courses in Business & Management.

GRE : For Graduate Courses in fields other than Management.

LSAT: For Admissions to Law Schools.

USMLE : For Admission to Medical Colleges.

A few universities may take students interview to know them better. The interview could be with a college representative or "third party" representatives, staff, faculty or alumni of the college or simply a telephonic interview. These interviews are usually informal and more of an opportunity to exchange information. The interviewer will try to judge student’s abilities and interests

It is important to submit the application, application fee, and supporting credentials early because many graduate departments begin making decisions 6 to 7 months before the term begins
