Is my three-year bachelor’s degree enough for a master’s abroad?
It depends on the country and university. Many universities in the UK, Ireland, Australia and Europe accept three-year Indian degrees for master’s entry, while some, especially in the US and Canada, may ask for sixteen years of education or assess each case. Always check the university’s country-specific entry page.
If you're feeling this
"Did I choose the wrong degree for my dreams?"
