[India] WILP vs MS Abroad?

Sep 26, 2021 7 Comments

Hello Blind community,

Help me figure out which of the two options above are better. I'd like to hear from folks that know more about this. I'd be grateful if you can share your opinions as well as to why you're choosing a particular option.

Personally, I strongly feel like my career needs further education in emerging areas. Also, an MTech through GATE doesn't look like an option to me.

      Thanks!

      What's your opinion on the value of a WILP degree? Standalone, not as a comparison with MS?

      IMO, a full time degree is worth it if you want to kickstart or boost or redirect your career by a large margin. If you want to learn some new skills there are plenty of online resources you can use. Paying for a part-time degree in the same field you're working in, wouldn't have the expected ROI.

      Nonetheless, if you're genuinely interested in studying further and want to continue your career at the same time, you can go for it. But, I think that you're young enough and it won't be late to restart your career after an MS.

    OP, will your employer pay for part-time studies? My partner got his MS-CS going to school, just as your described, evenings and weekends. It took him about 2.5 years, wasn't a huge time sink, and his employer (Microsoft) paid for it.

      Basically, classes over the weekends online, the final degree that you're awarded doesn't mention that this was a distance edu program. The uni claims that the labs, dissertation, etc. experience will be the same as an in-person degree. Few of my colleagues have taken up this degree, so wanted to know opinion of others.
