Everything You Need to Know — Study in USA

Tuition fees at US universities range from USD 15,000–60,000 per year (₹14–57 lakhs). Living expenses add USD 12,000–20,000/year. Total cost for a 2-year MS: ₹48 lakhs–₹1.25 crore. Teaching/Research Assistantships at public universities can cover 50–100% of tuition. We help you identify scholarship opportunities to significantly reduce costs.
For top 20 US universities (MIT, Stanford, CMU): GRE 325+ (Quant 165+). For top 50 universities: GRE 310–320. For mid-range universities: GRE 295–310. Many US universities are now GRE-optional for 2026 intakes — we help you identify which programs waive GRE requirements. Jaivik Overseas offers in-house GRE coaching to help you achieve your target score.
OPT (Optional Practical Training) allows F-1 students to work in the USA for 12 months after graduation. STEM-designated programs receive an additional 24-month extension — giving Indian STEM graduates up to 36 months of legal work authorization. During OPT, you can work for any employer in the USA. OPT is the primary pathway to H-1B work visa sponsorship.
USA F-1 visa processing typically takes 3–8 weeks for Indian students. For 2026, in-person interviews are mandatory (no Dropbox facility). Apply at US Embassy locations in New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, or Hyderabad. Apply 6–8 months before your course start date. Administrative Processing (AP) can add 2–4 months, especially for STEM programs — we prepare your documents to minimize this risk.
Both have strong advantages: USA offers STEM OPT (3 years work rights), higher salaries (USD 95K+), and more universities. UK offers shorter programs (1-year MS vs 2-year in USA), lower overall cost, and Graduate Route visa (2 years). For STEM students targeting Silicon Valley — USA wins. For quick ROI and lower cost — UK is better. We help you make the right choice based on your course, budget, and career goals.
Yes. F-1 students can work on-campus up to 20 hours per week during semesters and full-time during vacation periods. Off-campus work requires CPT (Curricular Practical Training) or OPT authorization. Average on-campus wages range from USD 12–20/hour. RA and TA positions at universities pay a stipend and often include full tuition waiver — highly valuable for funding your education.
