Both the UK and New Zealand offer strong options for a Master's in Computer Science, given your BTech background and upcoming IELTS plans.

- UK: Offers a wide range of master's programs, often 1 year in duration. Typical entry requires a relevant bachelor's degree and an IELTS score of 6.0 - 7.0 (subject to change). The UK also provides a PSW (post-study work visa) for up to 2 years after graduation.
- New Zealand: Also offers quality master's programs, usually 1 - 1.5 years. Entry usually requires a relevant bachelor's and IELTS 6.0 - 6.5 (subject to change). New Zealand's PSW visa can allow up to 3 years, depending on your course.

Your 72% in BTech and 8 months of work experience are suitable for both countries. Focus on preparing for IELTS, as English proficiency is required.
