Will my two-year education gap after B.Tech affect my chances for a master's abroad?
No, a two-year gap after your B.Tech generally will not harm your chances for a master's abroad if you can show the gap was used productively.
Universities focus more on what you did during the gap than the length itself. Relevant work experience, internships, skill development, or certifications during this time can strengthen your application.
Make sure to clearly explain in your Statement of Purpose (SOP) how this period contributed to your growth and aligns with your academic goals. If you need help framing your gap, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
