It depends. Graduate research assistantships (GRAs) in the US that offer full tuition fee waivers are highly competitive, especially for international students.

Your strong academic background (GPA 8.33/10 and BTech in Electrical and Electronic Engineering) is an advantage. However, selection also depends on:

- Research experience: Prior relevant research or projects can strengthen your application. - Fit with faculty research: Matching your interests with a professor’s work is crucial. - Application strength: A compelling statement of purpose and strong academic references are important. - Standardized tests: High scores on required exams (such as GRE) may be needed.

Applying to multiple universities and engaging with faculty can improve your chances.
