When selecting a country for study you should also consider the visa and work permit rules. For eg:- Canada provides a 2 yr open work permit after the completion of course (of at least 2yrs). Having a work permit of atleast an year is very helpful when looking for jobs. see www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work.asp

Hi Amiya,
Cost of education in these countries vary from USD10,000 to 40,000 annually. Fees may be higher depending on the program of study. USA on the whole is expensive wheareas in UK your budget will come down significantly since program durations are mostly of one year. Coming to placement, universities will offer you career services but no placement. You must perform well in your class and must also develop your skills. Start researching on universities and learn about their admission and career processes. In case you don't find all the information on their website you can email them. Hope this helps.

Step-by-Step Application Guide

Secure an Unconditional Offer & Receive CAS
First, apply to a course at a UK university or college that is a licensed student sponsor and receive an unconditional offer. Once you accept the offer (and pay any required deposit), the institution will provide you with a unique Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) reference number. This number is essential for your visa application and is valid for six months.
Prepare Required Documents and Funds
Gather all the necessary documentation to prove your eligibility:
- A current, valid passport.
- Your CAS number.
- Proof of funds: You must show you have enough money to cover your first year's tuition fees and living expenses. The current requirements are a minimum of £1,334 per month for courses in London and £1,023 per month for courses outside London, for up to nine months. These funds must have been held in your bank account for at least 28 consecutive days.
- English language proficiency: Evidence, usually a Secure English Language Test (SELT) like IELTS, is required, unless your university has accepted an alternative form of proof (e.g., strong English scores in high school).
- Tuberculosis (TB) test certificate: This is mandatory for applicants from many countries, including India. You must take the test at an approved clinic.
- Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) certificate: Required for certain sensitive subjects and research degrees. Your university will inform you if this is needed.

VFS Global Visa Application Centre (VAC)
. At the appointment, you will:

Receive a Decision and eVisa Access
