Why USA?
The USA is considered as the go-to destination for education because of its world-renowned universities with a top-quality education system, and a variety of cultures the country has to offer. In most of the universities, the average class size is 15-20 students, which enables every student to attain individual attention and help them gain more practical oriented knowledge.
USA Overview
The USA stands as a global technology leader, offering students unparalleled access to cutting-edge innovation and top tech companies. Renowned for its research-driven education, it provides diverse undergraduate and graduate programs with the flexibility to explore interdisciplinary courses.
A major advantage for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) students is the 3-year Optional Practical Training (OPT) opportunity – allowing graduates to gain 12 months of work experience, with a 24-month extension, making it an ideal destination for career-focused education

Cost of Living and Affordability
The USA offers relatively affordable living costs compared to other study destinations. On-campus living typically ranges from 9,000to
9,000to12,000 annually (varies by university ranking and location), covering housing, meals, and basic amenities. Off-campus options provide more flexibility, with monthly expenses between 500−
500−1,000 – though urban areas often reach the higher end of this range.
Many Indian graduate students choose off-campus accommodation to optimize budgets. Additional expenses to consider include transportation, technology needs (like laptops), and leisure activities, which vary by personal lifestyle.
Tuition Costs
Understanding your return on investment is crucial when pursuing graduate studies in the USA. While tuition fees typically range from 15,000 to 30,000 annually, prestigious institutions like Ivy League schools often charge higher rates. The good news?
