Question: I am a diploma holder in electronics and communication with 50% in final year, I am 27 years old and am doing my degree engineering in the same from AMIETE. Is age a barrier for getting a job. Are there any good prsopects after completing this, I also want too pursue my masters in US after this. Kindly reply, I am a little confused and worried.
Answer: Age definitely plays an important role while applying for a job especially when it a government opening but in private sector there might be certain concessions depending on the organisation provided you clearly state the reason. For pursuing your Master's in the US, you need to fulfill some of their criteria like have an appropriate score in GRE (Graduate Record Exam), should have a reasonable TOEFL score and other selection requirements which differs from college to college. It would be beneficial for you to get in touch with the USEFI or log onto their website:www.fulbright-india.org

Hope that helps you.
