@OP - Be honest with yourself. How good are you when it comes to Computer Science Engineering? How strong are your basics? Where do your strengths lie?
From your posts, i'm assuming that you're more of a regular problem-solver than a true applications/computer engineer. If so, then take my advice seriously - focus on on-campus placements; work for 3 years in India and then aim for B-Schools.
Please please remember this -
Owning a pimped-out-rig does not qualify you for an M.S.
Contrary to the rat-race that you're forced into, not every indian engineering student needs to pursue a masters in a comparable field let alone believe that they're destined to do so.
Explore other options.
I've watched many of my friends screw up their careers and can no longer bear to watch anyone else do the same.

My idea of a joke - it wasn't personally directedSrirama said:
Honest!And neither am i trying to dissuade you from pursuing a masters. Just be honest with yourself and explore other options to be on the safer side.

I know that are you are posting in the best of intentions.
also do look at edited post above(my very first project).
and I would like to get better education(not just for the sake of it).

Sweet!
But this is all the advice i can give you since i'm an undergrad myself. All the best! :hap2:
I'm happy to toot my own horn and give you this link: http://www.techenclave.com/guides-a...plying-engineering-grad-schools-us-63834.html although its pretty old now. For more updated info, head to Edulix.comp@ddict said:

Guys,Thread Update.
Got some higher grades in revaluation,which pushes GPA to 8.8 mark
So here are the some of the universities i shortlisted.
Ambi:
CMU,U Penn,UC Santa Barbara,Purdue
Mod:
Rutgers,Ohio State,NCSU,Univ of Massachusetts Amherst
Safe:
ASU,USC and UIC.
One more good news.
I have now worked and brought up two new papers on Cloud Computing,which I have submitted to international conferences(Results Awaited)
Did a project on "Predictive Texting in Tamil(Regional Language)".
Plus the already mentioned projects on Forum+Cloud.
How are these Universities,should i make any addition?
My primary research interest is in Networking,especially Cloud Computing.

Thread Update.
My Paper titled "Optimization of Knowledge Sharing through Multi-Forum using Cloud Computing Architecture" is selected inICSCT 2011
And to be published in ASME journal.
I hope this will bolster my chances

^Good going man! Going through this thread for the first time and you can safely take Ronnie and stalker's advice. Some tips from my side (someone can correct me if I am wrong) -
1. Though you probably know this by now, the departments are ranked rather than colleges. It might be the case that one dept may be in the top 10 and other virtually unknown since all depends on the research and the professors in a dept.
2. You finish your education from a known dept and work really hard towards securing an internship and a job, you will definitely get one since the tech sector is still booming in the US. Can't say for the 3-4 years later but the companies are minting money as of now. 2 of my friends have $100k+ salaries without any previous work ex
3. When you finally get down to writing your essays, be crystal clear about why you want to go ahead with it and what are your eventual plans. Universities really love the fact that you are clear about your aims. All the SOPs that I have seen of my friends who got accepts were point on with regards to their aims and the hard work they had put in to get here. (You may not have planned it from 9th standard but you have to show it like that
)
Other than that, you have a fantastic GPA and an international published paper. I think you would do really well. Best of luck!

Thank you guys so much for the support
My other paper titled "VoIP Call Quality Optimization" has also been selected to be presented at ICCA 2012 - International Conference on Computer Applications - 2012 - Pondicherry, India.
This one is on ASDF journal,and held at Pondicherry.Impact factor on this one is not so great.
@Gannu thank you man.
@Sei,Yup am working on my SOP.
Infact am done with my draft.
If its ok with you,could you review it?

I wanted to know if the college brand name also matter? As in, does that fact that one graduates from the top 10 colleges of india matter much?
I'm in my 3rd year right now and have interest in a course related to physics/electronics(still analyzing my interests, my branch is engineering Physics(specialization in electronics and pursuing from Delhi college of engineering).
Just a general idea would do.
I'm also working on my marks and the research/internships aspect.

^thanks a lot man, I thought it is some tough task. Anyways let's not deviate this thread & I will PM you if I get any more doubts
back to GRE. MS usually costs around 35-40 lakhs & in some good colleges up to 60 lakhs also. But when we are getting back that money ? How much salary usually one will be having after completion of MS ?
