I did my SFP 23 at IITM and currently working on a paper under prof from NITT(is these both sufficient in order to compensate the low gpa) both of these works are in my field. I need to get into MS +Phd in electrical and electronics engineering (ECE dept) in FALL 25 coz I am planning to get some research experience in my field. Will this be enough to get recognized or some what okay to get into some top universities.

I think you are working in the right direction. Keep doing it and apply to good mix of universities. Also, check out my advice in the PhD video posted last month.

ma'am as my undergrad gpa was too low I am not feeling very confident to get a top Mba colleges .... I am also planning to do second bachelors to improve my gpa or should I do a masters from a private university .....what's your suggestion on this.

I’m from a tier 1 college and 7.9 gpa. I have 2 internships, and work ex in a US MNC as SDE. Can I aim for top 20-60 ranked schools? Can you suggest safety schools for my profile?

[@johnsamuel1999]

It will be tough with a below 8 gpa for ms cs . You can try programs like mis, data science, computer engineering, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity etc. Try NYU, University of Buffalo, stony brook University, university of utah, florida state university, university of florida, university of Georgia, Northeastern university

Hello Mam, does a high TOEFL score count in chances of getting selected or not? I have been working for a reputed software company for a year, but got 89 in TOEFL. My CGPA was 8.49 .Can I get selected in CMU for MSCS program with this minimum TOEFL score?
