    6/25

    There is not one, but a whole lot of reasons that make studying in the USA a greatoption:

    World-Class Institutions

    American institutions are renowned for their diverse teaching skills, which attractinternational students for higher education. As of 2012, there was a 31% increasein international students in American colleges and universities compared to thelast decade. 64% of international students in the US are from Asia. Most of thesestudents are from China and India.

    Credibility of Institutions

    Education and experience from an American institution has a good reputation inthe international job market. American education noticeably develops astudent's long-term career aspirations and the experience builds significant logic,confidence and cross-cultural skills. These qualities are highly appreciated byemployers worldwide.

    Flexibility

    The American higher education system offers many choices within a programmeand the opportunity to modify majors or select multiple specialisations. At an

    advanced stage of an undergraduate program, a student can alter theprogramme to meet detailed career objectives. At the graduate level studentscan create their own timetable and complete courses at ease within thestipulated time-frame.

    Work Opportunities

    The F1 Visa limits students allowing them to work a total of 20 hours a week on

    and off-campus, maintaining full-time status while attending school. Studentsgraduating with Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) degrees arequalified to stay in the US for an additional 17 months upon completion of 12months of OPT on an Optional Practical Training (OPT) STEM Extension.

    Diverse Cultures

    America is a melting pot of different cultures. In fact, this sort of diversity iscelebrated as an integral part of American heritage. This means that Indianstudents will find plenty of other Indian students on most campuses, and they'll

    also be introduced to a wide array of cultures during their studies.

For postgraduate study, the applicantsperformance in recent undergraduate academics plays a key role.

    Each university will set their own application deadlines and fees, as well asadmissions requirements. Fortunately, most application forms follow a similarformat that allow you to reuse or adapt some of your application materials.
