Rajeev
Rajeev,
There are many universities offering a Masters in Engineering and at this stage you should not be too worried about getting into a good program. Your objective must be to do well wherever you get in. I have written before on this thread that it is better to be near the top in an ordinary program rather than bottom in a great program.
Further, because of your marks so far I suggest you need to apply to at least 10 schools. You have to write GRE before the end of December and you should do reasonably well (it is not too difficult). Applications have to be completed by the end of January 2006 for most schools. You will need to provide proof of funds before getting your visa as you should not expect any financial aid. It is better to choose few schools near or where your uncle lives. Information about all engineering schools is available at http://www.asee.org/ or if you can not figure out for yourself, I can suggest few schools but let me know where your uncle lives.[/QUOTE]
Respected sir,
The way you are helping me has definately inspired me to serve my community with whatever abilty i possess or will possess in future.
Sir i will apreciate it if you could help me figure out few colleges near my uncle's house. He lives at
Hill top Drive
CHASKA
MINISOTA

USA
And can you tell me about the approx. cost which i may have to bear.

Your first step should be write GRE soon. Once you know your GRE score and undergraduate marks I will suggest several schools that may admit you in Masters program.
Respected sir.
thank you very much for the guidance so far.
Now i'll do as you've told me.
Thanks a lot

Abhishek,
The overall GPA does not tell the whole story. With 7.78 overall GPA, if you get consistently higher grades in courses in certain field of Civil Eng. (structures, transportation, water resources etc.), do very well in GRE, and have strong reccomendations, you may get funding in a decent university. So, right now try to do your best.

Advice needed for Telecom Professional
Dear Sir;
I’m working with C-Dot (Centre for development of Telematics), one of principle telecom company of government of India. I had joined organization about 6 months back. I’m finding this monetary as well intelligently not that fruitful. I want to explore the possibility of employment or research in the field of Telecommunication Engineering in USA and Canada. On education front, I had done my master in Electronics and communication from IIT Delhi.
I want to work in some reputed industry, research lab or pursue PhD in above mention field.
In fact, as you mention in one of reply that PhD is modern form of slavery, yes I too feel that way and some-how shy away from the name of PhD.
I shall be highly thankful if you can suggest me…
1. Please suggest some good Research lab or University in the field of telecommunication Engineering?
2. Is it possible to enroll in PhD at some university and then opt out to work in the industry?
3 Is it now possible to get admission in spring 2006, beginning in January?
Any help from your side will be highly appreciated

Sandeep,
Unless some MNC hires you and transfers you to North America, you can not be employed as non-citizen, non-immigrant here. Admission to Ph.D. is a long process and one has to go through it. Write GRE now, apply by January 2006 or so to get into Sept 2006 session. With M.Tech. from IIT and if you have some publication based on your thesis you may get admission which comes with full funding usually.
Lot of students drop out of Ph.D. programs as the completion rate of Ph.D. is only about 40%. Every time a student does not complete Ph.D., it counts against the Professor so most Profs try to take on students they feel have completion potential. However, few years ago during the hot internet market, so many Indian (mostly IIT) bright students left Ph.D. programs at Stanford to start their own companies that Stanford reduced the intake from IITs considerably.
Your situation is not easy to resolve. The only thing I can suggest is to apply for immigration to Canada which you will surely get in due time. Then you have lot of flexibility to try various options. However, you might have read articles detailing tough situation of new immigrants in Canada recently as opposed to great successes about 30 years ago. I can explain it somewhat. Many years ago when the Indian economy was stagnant lot of very good people had no choice but to leave country and did very well in North America. But these days the Indian economic growth is more than double of North America and obviously those who can not compete in an economy that is growing at 6 to 9% annually, are going to have tough time in North America where the economy is growing at about 2-3% annually. But even now I feel there are plenty of opportunities for new immigrants in Canada for those who are competent and are willing to tough it out and compete in a reasonably fair job market.

Excellent Efforts
Dear Dr. Birbal,
I highly appreciate your efforts in guiding students from our community,
so that they can fulfill their higher education goals. Its really praise-worthy.
I am Sandeep Dabas, basically from Delhi, but right now pursuing my
MS at University of Minnesota,MN. I came here two months back, and so
I am still not settled fully yet, to this new culture. But one thing is for
sure, and that is the good quality of education here, its really worth
experiencing by our fellow Jat members.
I am also eager to help prospective students. I did my BE from Univ. of Delhi,
in Electronics & Communication, and right now carrying on with Electrical
Engg. So, if someone, is planning for higher studies in this/related fields,
I may be able to help/guide a bit. Though the education here demands
constant efforts from a student, and I have started to feel this pressure,
but still I would try my best to respond asap.
All the Best to all students,
ps : I have hardly seen/met any Jat student on campus, and so feels that
had there been some Jat presence here, it would have been great thing.
If so many other community's student can make it, why cann;t we.

Satyender,
As long as you can afford it NYIT is perfectly ok. As I have written many times before, once you decide to join an institution do not worry about its rank etc. Just do your best and try to be among the top students and things will work out.

Hi XYZ:
Last time I checked, and this was a few years ago,
Canadian Universities did not require GRE (certainly
not for Canadian residents), but unlike the
US ones they required you to have a master's degree
before you could apply to a PhD program. In US
you could directly apply for a PhD program.
Pretty much all PhD programs in the hard sciences
and engineering fields should provide
you with financial support...so that is unlikely to be
an issue once you get in.
Now, Canadian Universities are fairly homegenous
as compared to US ones. They are all federally funded
and there is usually not a huge difference in
quality of education. ALl provide a pretty
solid education.
There are some bigger name onces such as
University of Toronto, Univ. of British Columbia,
University of Waterloo that are somewhat better known
(maybe because they are larger and are located in
larger, more densely populated regions). But
smaller lesser well known ones are pretty good
too and perhaps easier to get into.
These can be found in the provinces of ALberta,
Saskatchewan and Manitoba (Univ. of Alberta,
Univ. of Regina, Univ of Saskatewan, Univ. of Manitoba
and so on).
However, no University will provide you a cakewalk
in any of these PhD programs. That is pretty much
sure.
I think if you are interested in a PhD you'd probably
want to be pretty sure you want to do it. These
programs take 4+ years after the masters and are
demanding and require a lot of effort and dedication.
I am not aware of a a no name PhD program that
gives away PhD degrees just like that. Certainly not
in Canada.
Following are some links I found off the web.
Look at the Macleans article for some rankings
info. You can use that to determine the lesser
known and smaller Universities.

Hi:
1) It is highly unlikely that you will get directly hired by some research lab
while you are in India...unless maybe you are some exceptional researcher/
scientist. Regarding Universities, please check my previous post and the
Macleans link. The websites of these Universities should provide all the
info about the departments and courses they offer.
Here is a link that has websites of various Universities. Navigate to their
Engineering/Comp. Science departments and you should get all the info
you need:
http://www.uwaterloo.ca/canu/
In terms of good Canadian Universities here are some of the well known ones
for engineering (but again, read my previous post):
o University of Waterloo ( I attended this one so can provide some
more info if you need. ) Try http://www.uwaterloo.ca/facultiesandcolleges/index.php
o University of Toronto
o University of British Columbia
o McGill, Western Ontario, Queens Universities
(but then again...Candian Universities in general are pretty good no matter
what).
For US ones I guess you can just search on your own. There are
so many here its hard to suggest ones. Many of the good ones might
be long shot unless you have excellent academic credentials.
2) It is probably possible to enroll in a PhD program and then opt for industry
as a way to cheat the system. And I am sure some folks do that. I just hope
you don't.
Personally I find it offensive that someone would cheat the system like that.
This is really cheating in multile ways: a) you are cheating the proffessor
who spends time and his/her grant money on you b) you are depriving
some other well deserving and dedicated student the opportunity to get a
PhD since you end up taking that space. c) you are eating of the tax
payers money (that included me when I was in Canada) and providing
no returns to society or the economy for the money spent on you.
....well I could go on but you got my take on this issue.
Some Universities do allow the student to opt out with a Masters degree
if they no longer pursue or are incapable of meeting the standards
demanded by the PhD...but that depends on University to University.
(BTW most (probably all) Canadian Universities require you to have a masters
before you can be admitted to PhD programs. This is different from US
ones.)
3) Admission of Jan 2006 is highly unlikely...usually you need to apply a
year in advance. But again, a lot of this is dependent on the University.
Send the department an email and see what they say. Of course, read
their web site before you communicate. Most of this kind of information
should be there on the web (FAQs etc).
4) Yeh Immigration is a good move. Very difficult to get US immigration
(unless you have mum/pop as American citizens, or American spouse,
or are already working here and company sponsors you for the green card).
Similer issues are true for Canada as well, except that Canada allows
Independent Immigration application where qualified applicants apply directly
for Immigration. See some other threads regarding this that prove some links
on the subject. But this will likely take time (1-3 years I guess but I am
not current on all this).
Hope this helps....

PhD and Researcher in USA
Hello Every one.
I’m back after some impediment. Well I’m fine got some of unsolicited mails from some members.
Yes Birbal and Rathee Ji has rightly suggested regarding PhD and others avenue.
Let me add my views:-
Research labs in US are very competitive. Only PhDs from very good colleges get into research labs. Not to discourage you from applying there but in my view, your chances are very slim considering that I having graduated from IIT and doing masters from here and working here for 5 years will find it difficult to get a job in a research lab of repute. Some good research labs here are – Microsoft, NEC, IBM, and Cisco. There are many others. Among universities, see what your GRE score is and try to get into the best you can. Refer to usnews.com for rankings of various universities to get a clue.
Yes you can try this like, get into a job like TCS or Infosys and you will be in US within 4 months for a project (short term). My only problem with that kind of short-term job is that it won’t be technically very challenging as your core technology job like telecom.
Let me add for me, it doesn’t matter where I work, in US or in India. The only thing different in US is the quality of living is much better. I won’t age fast because of pollution and commute here in US. You wont like US if that is not a high priority thing in your life.
Hiring in US is very low these days so your best bet is to come through your MNC Company or outsourcers like Patni, Infosys, Wipro, and TCS.
Hope this helps. Meet me if you want to talk in detail about all this Mail me

Hello Every one.
I’m back after some impediment. Well I’m fine got some of unsolicited mails from some members.
Yes Birbal and Rathee Ji has rightly suggested regarding PhD and others avenue.
Let me add my views:-
Research labs in US are very competitive. Only PhDs from very good colleges get into research labs. Not to discourage you from applying there but in my view, your chances are very slim considering that I having graduated from IIT and doing masters from here and working here for 5 years will find it difficult to get a job in a research lab of repute. Some good research labs here are – Microsoft, NEC, IBM, and Cisco. There are many others. Among universities, see what your GRE score is and try to get into the best you can.

Dear Sir,
I was looking out for guidance to get admission in Ph. D. computer science in canada and then while surfing, your message appeared to me nonetheless from an angel who is ready to help people.
Sir, I am giving my brief introduction and then if you say, I will mail my resume
1. I had done MCA (thru Distance Education ) from Maharshi Dayananda University, Rohtak scoring 69.7%.
2. I stood first in the Ph.D. Enterance exam ( Computer Scinece) conducted by Panjab university Chandigarh this year. Though I have an option to get myself register in this university. But I want to purse this degree from abroad.
I am working as a computer science lecturer in a reputed college in Chandigarh for the past five years.

Anyone interested in contacting me for possible assistance/guidance should email me at Birbal.singh@lakeheadu.ca
I get lot of emails and answer them all but sometimes there may be a delay of a few days as the number of messages keeps on increasing. There is no point in posting personal details on this website.
I do not log on this site frequently as it seems to have been polluted by BJP/RSS types.
