Hey Naveen

That is true, Universities and Colleges in the Foreign prefer students from a much reputed college like IITs, IISc or NITs but it does not mean that other college students do not stand a chance. If you wish to pursue your Masters from Carnegie Melon University (CMU) then you might look up to following tips:

  • Having an excellent academic record, 9+ CGPA is expected in your Graduation and also one having a good academic record in High school will have a better edge in the selection
  • Great Extra-Curricular; Foreign Institutes prefer students who are good in academics with an equal balance in their extra curricular activities, one may take part in Hack-a-thons, volunteer in NGOs, Sports or some other interesting activity
  • A good Statement of Purpose and Essay; letting the professor of your choice of university know why they should select you over other applicants, if you convince them with your strengths and skills and assuring them your good performance that will make them to consider you for selection
  • [Optional] Doing extra ordinary projects while your under graduation also attract professor's attention which might interest him as well
