Pursuing higher studies as always beneficial for career development. Both the options have their own pros and cons. The main points to be kept in mind while making a choice are - Technical stream, Course structure and duration, University Ranking, tuition fees / student fellowships/ stipends, Industrial collaborations or Research grants, faculty, future prospects.
To get admission into PhD in India one has to qualify the written exam followed by rounds of interview. Also, it is good to have own research fellowship from bodies like CSIR-UGC , GATE, ICMR, DST, etc or the institution may have some research grants to fund your financial expenses. the maximum duration to complete PhD in India is 5 years with one year extension if needed. It is important to do a good study about the guide and his profile to get an idea of the work you will be doing.
MS in abroad has a different procedure. A lot of time has to be invested for making the applications, getting recommendations, waiting for the selection followed by interview. The maximum duration for MS is 2 years. It is important to have a good study of the University website regarding faculty profiles and studentships. A lot of universities in abroad provide stipends to international students to cover their tuition fees and other expenses. One can directly write to the Principle Investigator or concerned authorities to know more about financial expenditure.
Keeping all the above points in mind, MS in abroad gets more weightage. This will give a multicultural exposure, good networking with the scientific community, opportunities for professional growth. Addition to these, a good salary package and International affiliation are perks not to be missed.
