Columbia University, traditionally seen as the academic big shot of the two, is part of the prestigious Ivy League, America’s most historically prestigious and selective institutions.

Columbia University is a higher ranked university on QS World Rankings, with it being ranked 18th, while New York University is ranked 39th. This shows both are one of the best universities out there, but Columbia has an edge over NYU.

In Science and Tech too, Coumbia is a better draw, with it being ranked 48th in the whole world. Placement wise the records vary every year, though being a higher ranked college both overall and in the Tech domain, Columbia gets a better average placement as compared to NYU. Columbia University has got placements from companies like- Xerox, Intel. Apple, Philips, Honda, IBM, and Deloitte, while NYU has got offers from-Google, PayPal, Accenture, Uber, Microsoft and Samsung. Honestly, both colleges get placements from top companies, though Columbia is a higher ranked university

So, I would recommend Columbia University for the degree you want to pursue.

All the best!

It will all depend upon the lifestyle and the office hours you put in the work. The number of opd days, OT days and the visit to the wards for rounds. It all affect the free time period for a doctor. In USA,you have to pay tax for the services thus it can be little less than what you make in india

Raja, we have been discussing your career and aspirations for a while now and we appreciate that you want to take Career360's opinion on the matter of your career. So by now, you are aware of the fact what it takes to become a neurosurgeon and what it is to clear USMLE, practise as a resident in the US. We also have discussed the life style and the salary part. Now regarding the first half and later half of the career, we only wish we could predict our timeline on this planet. We do not which might be the first half or which might be the later part. But no wish is bad. If you want to achieve something, you should lest you regret for the rest of your lofe. Now to practise in the US, you may have to appear for USMLE, clear the step 1 and then practise as a resident before you can get the license to practise as a full time neurosurgeon. That is a long process that might take good 4-5 years. You study MBBS in India for 50 months and then complete the 1 year rotational internship and it takes you as many as 5 years. And appearing for USMLE and then working as a resident take another 4 years and so 10 years of your life are spent getting a valid license to practise in the US. And then lets say after 5 years you want to move to Singapore, that takes a whole different processing because you need to appear for their license exam. And you work in Singapore for lets say another 5 years and you come back to India. 15 years of your life are spent studying and getting licenses. But the beauty is within 15 years you can actually get license to practise in 3 countries. So you need to take a call. Or how about you finish MBBS in India, move to Singapore to study your MD/MS and plan on moving to the US? That way the transition is going to be smoother.
