Hello guys.. I've completed my BE and already placed in HCL Technologies.
I'm thinking of doing MS..Which according to you are good universities to study and also please tell me related exams(like GRE,TOEFL).
Shall I go for the company and get some years experience and then do PG or do it now only? Please guide me...
to get admn. for masters in the US u need to appear for gre and toefl.
gre tests ur aptitute and verbal abilities while toefl tests ur english (listening, speaking, understanding, writing etc.).
to get into a good varsity you'll need good scores in gre and need to maintain a good engg. aggregate. a score above 1300 in gre is considered good. you can register gre and toefl at
www.ets.org. gre costs $165 and toefl $150. be sure to register for toefl ibt (internet based test). better do it thru credit card otherwise the process can take quite sometime the conventional way (DD etc.).
this is about gre. the next question is what is ur branch of engineering? and in what branch are u planning to pursue ur masters.... since u are placed in hcl it will be helpful to u if u are planning to pursue ur MS in the same field. if not then do not bother telling the varisities (at the time of applying) that u were placed/working in hcl.
as someone said, it takes time to get an admn. after u get ur gre scores it will take at least 5-6 months for all admn. procedures to complete. if u want good scholerships then u need to apply mebbe an year earlier. so after applying you will be free for at least 5 months. u may take up a job in that time.
do pm me for any more details. i'm giving my gre on october 8th this year...
good luck!

for a fresher 22k - 24k is superb
aah.. depends on the field. at least in my colg its a very low pay! thats the minimum salary it services/product/electronics companies are paying who've joined this year (yes, even infy wipro etc.). even non-it companies like Jindal is paying 3.2lakhs per annum (my classmate joined it 2 dayz ago).
