If I complete my master's abroad, will the degree have value when I return to India?

Yes, a master's degree from abroad can add value when you return to India, but its recognition depends on a few key factors:

- Program duration: Most Indian authorities recognize foreign master's degrees that are at least two years long. One-year programs may not be considered equivalent.
- University accreditation: Make sure your chosen university is properly accredited in its country, as this increases the chance of recognition in India.
- Relevance and reputation: Degrees from well-known universities and those aligned with your career goals are valued more by Indian employers.
- Work experience: Relevant international or domestic work experience will further boost your profile.

For the best outcome, choose a two-year accredited program that matches your career plans. If you need help with program selection or recognition, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
