MS in India:
Some of the top indian universities do offer MS programs. They take your GATE,GRE,TOEFL and GMAT scores into consideration while giving seats. Some colleges may even conduct their own exams if the candidate doesn't have enough scores in the above mentioned exams. Job opportunities in India is very good after MS from the top universities in India.
Some colleges providing MS programs in India:
1)BITS, Pilani
2) IIIT Hyderabad

A MS degree from USA, Canada or Australia is always considered to be of more value than the master's programs in india. The approximate expense for studying abroad for 2 years would fall somewhere between 40 to 50 lakhs. If you have the financial resources for it I urge you to consider doing MS abroad.
