What are my chances of admission given my CGPA and work experience, and can you help verify my resume for the application in UK/USA for a Master's?

It depends. With a CGPA of 7.0 and no work experience, you meet the minimum requirement for many master's programs in both the USA and UK, but your chances will vary by university and program.

- USA: A 7.0 CGPA (about 2.8/4.0) is accepted by many mid-tier and state universities, but top universities usually expect higher GPAs. Strong GRE scores, a compelling statement of purpose, and good recommendations can improve your chances.
- UK: A 7.0 CGPA is generally acceptable for most master's programs, though top universities may require higher grades. Work experience is usually not mandatory except for certain programs like MBAs.

Resume verification is important - universities will require accurate academic transcripts and may also ask for a CV.
