Undergraduate or Post Graduate?

Career Opportunities & Internships
1

<p>Hello CC forum,</p>

<p>One of the intriguing questions I have in my head right now is pertaining to the job offers after finishing one's undergraduate/postgraduate course. I am currently doing the IB Diploma Course in India. I was really looking forward to do my undergraduate course in United States, but due to financial and other I may not be able to do so. However, I am pretty sure that I will be doing my post graduation study in United States. I am also looking forward to work in the United States for a couple of years. Looking for some engineering course. </p>

<p>Scenario 1</p>

<p>Under graduation - Indian University (Not IIT)</p>

<p>Post Graduation - Reputed University in America (Purdue, UIUC or likewise) </p>

<p>Scenario 2</p>

<p>Under graduation - Reputed University in America (Purdue, UIUC or likewise) </p>

<p>Post Graduation - Reputed University in America (Purdue, UIUC or likewise) </p>

<p>Which scenario would get me better jobs? Or will it be the same?
I have given my SATs and will be giving them again. Although I am preparing for Under graduating in the US, I am not sure of it. My SAT score will be somewhere around 1900-2000. What do you guys think about the job offers for either scenario.</p>

<p>Go for grad in US. Save yourself some money.</p>

<p>Thank you for your reply. </p>

<p>However, will my chances be affected from which university I come from if I get the same GPA in both India and United States. From what I have read, its highly unlikely that I have a good chance getting into a good university for Grads if I apply from an Indian course’s degree. Also, wouldn’t job offers in USA prefer people who have done both degrees in United States more?</p>

<p>Well American employers don’t know much about Indian schools so your UG won’t be a problem. They’ll care more about where you got your Masters from. As long as you rock that then you should be good for most employers. </p>

<p>Idk about the process for going from Indian UG to American Grad. Just try to get into the best schools possible.</p>
