Suggestions for courses.

Question

Here is my profile for reference.

B.Tech - IIT Indore Mechanical 7.52 CGPA
Work ex - 1 year as a Quantitative Analyst at a Hedge fund.
GRE/GMAT and TOFEL - Haven't attempted yet but I can score well.

I am interested in following courses/fields - Computer Science, Business Analytics, Data Science, Stem MBA, Mathematics.

As someone from non-CS background I have doubts over my chances of getting CS at good universities but it would be my first preference.

I also have doubts over US and EU.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rahul

I myself have made switch from Chemical Engg (IIT Madras & CGPA 7.85) to MS in CS after working in Data analytics. You just need good GRE and TOEFL scores, LORs and SOP. Please focus only on MS in CS in US. The opportunities of other branches are no where closer to CS. my email id is v.07.midhun@gmail.com We can connect if you need any help.

Hi Rahul,

Let me start with the Country first. I really recommend you to go through this to get the best idea about opportunities and study in USA vs EU :https://yocket.com/blog/ms-in-europe-vs-ms-in-us

Coming to your UG, You have done it from prestigious IIT's, so you will have a good priority over others but since it is a branch switch, your profile really matters. I suggest you to go through this to know more about branch switch: https://yocket.com/blog/can-you-opt-for-a-different-field-in-masters-after-your-undergrad.

After going though both the blogs mentioned above, Try to stand on a single course that you are interested in and start giving the tests required after which we can start shortlisting the universities and the further processes.

Best of Luck.
