Hello


Thank you for choosing CareerGuide.com and writing to us. I appreciate your interest in studying further at a Masters level. Let me first explain on how to study M.Eng. in India and then explain on studying abroad for a Masters level. As you may know, M.Eng. is a master of Engineering discipline next to Bachelors of Engineering degree like the B.Eng. So students who complete B.Eng. or the B.Tech usually choose to study M.Eng. and this is one of the most common routes. Studying M.Eng. in India or abroad typically varies and M.Eng. isnot a research based course.

Degrees likeM. Res. (Masters by Research); MPhil (Master of Philosophy); D.Sc. (Doctor of SocialSciences); D.Ed. (Doctor of Education);D. Litt. (Doctor of Literature) and PhD (Doctor of Philosophy)are only research based study.

As said, in general MSc or the M.Eng. are not research based and they are known as Taught masters courses. In these courses you will berequired to follow some course works that comprise about 75% of the degree. Along with this you will have to do a mini project or mini research project that accounts for 25%. This mini project is known as 'Dissertation' at universities around the globe. Some universities will have 75% coursework 25% dissertation and some will have 70% coursework and 30% dissertation. However, they are all together known as taught masters courses. These taught masters courses are available anywhere around the world.


If you want to study M.Eng. in India, then you should know in what subject you want to study and also think of where you want to study. If you would like to study at any of the IIT's in India, then you need to appear for GATE exam. This GATE exam will qualify you with a rank against students appearing all over India. With this rank, you can appear for counselling at IIT's. If you have a high rank in GATE, you can be admitted at IIT's. If you want to study anywhere else in India apart from the IIT's then you should appear for the individual entrance test run by the college where you want to study. If you have scored above 60% as minimum then you can be admitted for M.Eng. in India.

If you want to study abroad for M.Eng, then please be aware that not all foreign universities will offer you M.Eng. as most of them offer it as M.Sc. only. However both are almost the same. But very few USA, UK, Singapore and Australian universities offer M.Eng. To study abroad, in USA/ Canada/ Singapore you need to appear for GRE and TOEFL exam.

If you want to study either in the UK or Australia IELTS exam is alone enough. With your school scores, college scores and the required competitive exam scores you are eligible to send in your study application abroad. Hope this helps. All the very best.
