Yes, your combined 3 plus 1 year degree clears the standard 16 year education threshold most universities look for. The UK offers very high eligibility since it runs a 3 year bachelor system, while the US and Canada rate moderate to high, since some schools scrutinize split degrees.

Yes, you are generally eligible for a Master's such as an MTech, MS, or MSc in Computer Science and Machine Learning abroad, since your combined 3 plus 1 year qualification actually puts you ahead of standard 3-year graduates. Your eligibility does vary though depending on how each country's credential evaluators read your academic timeline.

Eligibility by Country

United KingdomVery high3-year bachelor system standard, your extra year is a bonus
Germany and EuropeHighCheck Anabin for H+ rating, need 180 to 210 ECTS credits
United States and CanadaModerate to high3+1 satisfies the 16-year rule, but split degrees may be scrutinized

What You Will Need for Credential Evaluation

Most international universities will require your transcripts to go through a credential evaluation service like WES, which will assess whether your combined qualifications equate to a standard 4-year bachelor's degree. Make sure you gather separate, complete mark sheets and degree certificates from both colleges, along with migration or transfer certificates, since both institutions being affiliated with a recognized university helps your verification process.

My Advice

Run a self-assessment through WES ICAP before you apply, so you know exactly how your 3 plus 1 year combination will be read by your target country's evaluators, and keep your documentation from both colleges fully organized from the start.
