How much does it costs for an Indian to do a MS in electronics from the universities of the USA?

Thanks for the A2A. It's hard to give you a number because you do have to do the calculation for each university. Let's assume that you don't get any scholarship. Here are the cost categories associated with a typical MS Program. Evaluate these steps for every university. Tuition fees - just use the tuition numbers for the full duration. Assume that you will complete it in a typical span. Eg. 2 years. Books Living expenses - a lot of MS/PhD students stay off-campus at most universities. It tends to be significantly cheaper than staying on campus. Get this estimate from various student groups on Facebook/quora and use the information from current students. Assume that you will have to pay these for the full 2 years (don't expect any on campus job/scholarship) Airline tickets Health insurance for both years Add a factor for Miscellaneous expenses to cover laptop purchase, initial set up stuff etc Now for each university, get a true estimate what the assistantship and on-campus job situation is. Please evaluate the requirements for international students, if applicable. Over the past few years, I am not hearing of many MS students getting assistantships. Most are given to PhD students. MS students may qualify for some research fellowships after a couple of semesters. However, the situation at each university varies and you should get this info from every university you apply to Similar exercise for on-campus jobs. Get the above pieces of information from both current students and the graduate admissions counselor at the universities you plan to apply. Lot of the universities will have a web-page dedicated to questions like these. So, go through those as well. I can't give you a number because it varies from one place to another. Best of luck!
