15 years of education validity in the US

Question

Will 15 years (12+3) of education be valid in the US? If no, then what are the options that one will have after 15 years of education? Also, will 15 years of education also affect my chances of getting a PhD in the United States?  #act  #applicationprocess  #admissions  #accomodation  #PHD  #ms

Hi Anurag,
Here's a list of universities accepting 3 years bachelors in USA: https://yocket.com/blog/universities-in-the-world-accepting
Though, for some post-graduate programs, some universities only accept full 16-years (12+4) of study so you can contact the admissions committee of the university. In case you don't meet the requirements, you can have an assessment done by non-profit organisations like WES which evaluates foreign students’ credentials for research and higher education in the United States and Canada. 
However, WES considers certain Indian 3-year undergraduate degrees to be equal to a 4-year undergraduate degree in the United States only if: 
1) The degrees are awarded in Division 1 of the university system. 
2) The university that offers the undergraduate degree is accredited with an ‘A’ or better by India’s National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC).

As for PhD, according to US News, earning a Ph. D. from a U.S. grad school typically requires nearly six years, federal statistics show, though it depends from subject to subject. You can email the admissions office of your target universities and get advice,
Hope this helps!
