World Class Education with Less Focus on Rote-Based Learning: The Indian education system is extensively rote driven. The same approach continues even during Bachelors degree programs where (often) toppers are the ones with a strong memory rather than clear concepts. The system in the U.S, on the other hand, focuses on practical application of concepts. A given subject has a mix of several types of assignments in addition to exams that are spread over a period of time. This leaves very less room for those who have not understood concepts. At the same time, success in the subject is not measured solely by a "single exam per semester"
Plenty of Universities to choose from: Education is a multi-billion dollar university in the U.S. In many instances one can find towns and cities born out of universities. The US has more than 200 accredited universities for a given career path.
Cost Effective Education Possible in the USA: At the very onset, one might perceive the USA to be a very costly educational destination. However, with a focused and planned approach, the associated costs can be reduced through scholarships. There are mainly two factors to consider while targeting a scholarship (a) Try to score as much as possible in the SAT entrance exam (b) compromise a bit on the rankings: admission from a 46th rank university with scholarship might be a better proposition than an admit from a 20th rank university without any scholarship. At our consulting offices in Mumbai, Pune and Nashik, we have helped students achieve scholarships in excess of US$ 1.6 Million (Rs. 7 Crores)
A Candidate with a U.S Bachelors degree holder is more likely to make it to a top ranked university for his masters compared to one with an Indian degree: On a global scale, the value of an American degree far outweighs that of an Indian degree. With a Bachelors degree from an accredited university in the US, one can aim for an admit from a premier U.S university. If the same candidate (with same academic performance) completes his Bachelors from India, he is relatively less likely to make it to a top-ranked university.
