In America, you can get admission in Masters even after 3 years UG degree, in which universities you can study?

American Universities for Indian Students: The number of Indians going to study in America is increasing every year. According to Indian Government data, a total of 3,37,630 Indian students are currently studying in America. Most of these Indians have gone to America to study Masters, because the chances of getting a job after completing the course are high. More than 50 percent of Indians going to America are those who want to take admission in Masters in the universities there.
However, the biggest challenge Indian students face in getting into Masters is their own Bachelor’s degree. The reason for this is that the bachelor’s degree of Indian students is of 3 years, whereas in many universities of America, a 4-year bachelor’s degree is required for admission in masters. This is why many times Indians have to do a one-year diploma, so that they can fulfill the requirement of 4-year bachelor’s degree and get admission in masters.

How is India’s education system?

To understand the problem of Bachelor’s degree, first of all we have to know about the education system of India. Actually, the Indian education system is divided into lower primary, then primary, then middle school, then high school. After this comes the number of college or university. In total, Indian students study in school for 16 years, after which there is 3-4 years of graduation. After that, there is 2 years of post-graduation or masters degree study.

This means that when applying for admission to a Masters degree, Indian students have completed 17 years of education. Some American universities give admission on this basis and some do not. In most places, a 4-year bachelor’s degree is required for masters in America. In India, only engineering students have a bachelor’s degree of 4 years, the rest of the students studying history, political science have a UG degree of 3 years.
