Is it better to apply to public universities rather than private universities for my master's abroad in UK/Canada?

Applying to public universities is generally a better choice for your master's abroad, especially in Canada and the UK.

- Public universities typically offer wider program choices, stronger global reputation, and better post-study work visa (PSW) opportunities.
- Tuition fees at public universities are often more affordable and offer better value for the quality and recognition of the degree.
- Private universities may have specialized programs but can be more expensive and may not always offer the same level of recognition or PSW eligibility.

With your budget of up to 20 lakhs INR, public universities are usually the more practical and recognized option for international students.
