The US has historically been one of the most desirable countries for pursuing higher education, attracting students from around the world. For many Indian students, obtaining a degree from an accredited university located within the United States enables them to enter into the international job market, gain access to cutting-edge research facilities, and develop themselves professionally and personally through their experience at a multicultural institution. The opportunity to participate in an exchange program (study abroad), and obtain an internship with a major corporation may provide additional global networking opportunities and help students develop the critical skills needed to compete successfully in today’s highly competitive workforce.

The process of obtaining a student visa and admission into the best academic programs in the U.S. is complicated and involves substantial financial commitments. Academic and career development options continue to drive interest in obtaining a degree from an accredited institution in the U.S., despite the many challenges faced during the process.
