A much awaited video indeed, thanks Yogita !
This is a super nice explanation! I was an undergrad at GT in CS, and am considering a masters. OMSCS is definitely on my list :).
Concise and to the point. Great video.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow.this is great video. Thank you
Very informative video. Well organised and quite crisp.
Thank you for such an informative video!! Very much appreciated
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much... Very informative
thanks for the informative content, really appreciate
Want more videos in the series.... very helpful
#50k soon yeeh ❤️. Thanks for awareness
Hi Yogita, if possible can you please make a detailed video on communication between different components of a distributed system. Otherwise can you point me to an appropriate resource. Thanks!
Very informative! Could you reconfirm on the 4-year undergrad requirement? Because I see that specific clause has been removed from the website and was wondering if 3-year degrees are eligible as well?
Thanks Yogita!
You don't necessarily need NPTEL courses. I don't have a CS bachelor's but I still got an admit from OMSCS. You need to show through your SOP that you will be able to tackle the pressure of a Master's level CS degree based on your background.
I recently came to know about one more person who got an admit without cs degree and without nptel courses but at the same time someone who doesn’t. Thanks for sharing your views though. May be you can share tips for sop and essay.
and what about offline course?do u have any idea about it
@@prajjwal5520 even that I believe won't specifically require you to have a CS Bachelor's degree. In general these universities don't want you to quit the program if you don't have a proper background and are unable to cope. They either ask you to complete a few pre-requisites or demonstrate that you have enough background to tackle graduate level courses.
@@SurAbhinavVlogs TYSM and to do MBA do we have to gain exp. or we can also get entry to buisness school in US just after btech from india
Thanks a lot Abhinav !! I am also planning to join in next fall, got hopeless because don't have CS background neither the NPTEL and deadline is close, so can't get the CS certifications either. Can you please help us share your experience related to SOP and Background essay to increase our chances for acceptance ?
Super Thanks a lot Yogita :) Really appreciate it ! I had several doubts in mind that your this one video cleared at once. I'm also planning for Computing System as specialization. Can you please share your subjects your chose ? You expertise surely would help us all.
Very helpful!!!
For Computing System as specialization, can you please share the list of subjects you have chosen?
12:11 that color choice shows you are backed kinda hard coder dev. 😅. Btw thank you Soo.. Much you explained it very well and calmly no fake excitement or hype was there huh!! Keep it up. More success to you.
Thank you so much.
Hi, I would appreciate any inputs/list regarding the NPTEL courses which are typically required by non-CS majors, looking to pursue online MSCS program with GA Tech. Your inputs would be a great help. Thanks!
It's a really useful video. Thank you! I have one question, Does the diploma state somewhere that it's an Online Master Degree?
Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm from EEE background and would look to specialise in Computing Systems. Can you please suggest 2 NPTEL accredited courses that I may take before applying.
Great video.
Hi, this playlist is a gem, can you please help with the list of courses I need to do on NPTEL
Hi Yogita, thanks for the informative video. Is this Online MS program STEM approved (for applying OPT or applying H1b under Master cap). Can you please clarify? TIA.
one thing missed .. whats the benefits of having this degree .
Immigration
@@pchandu1995 how
If you complete this degree and have specialization in Machine Learning or Artificial Intelligence primarily or other two specialities your chances of getting a Tech job is high!
It's a good degree and you get job in us It companies after this
Thankyou for the explination. Just one question... Do we get to participate in on campus placements?
#50k yeeh coming soon thanks for knowledge
Thanks for the video 😀
What is deadline to submit application , on website it is given that "for Spring matriculation is August 10 and for Fall matriculation is March 10."
Matriculation date is same as deadline to submit application ?
Thank you! :-)
Hi Yogita. What is the timing for the semesters? I mean how many months is the duration for the Summer, Fall, and Spring each?
Hi Yogita, thank you for posting this video, I am also planning to go for this master course, can you please let me know how much this course helped you in your career?
Hi, thanks for this informative video. I have a question, I have done MTech from IISc B, and I am currently employed as a Data Scientist, would I be able to apply to OMSCS with my MTech grades, since my BTech grades are very poor?
Hi,
Is there any kind of interview that will happen after we submit the application, or we directly get the result after the application submission...?
Thank you very much for the good explanation. I am kindly asking if you can share the link for applying.
Thanks for explaining this! I had a low GPA (2.3) due to undiagnosed ADHD and it took me some time to figure out how to learn. I took some graduate courses in cs and got A’s. Think that would help?
Hi Yogita, Thanks for the information. Two questions: 1) a prospective candidate who completed BS in Biological Science with honors degree in US university and is interested in applying to UMSCS program and has professional experience has a teacher in US - does this candidate has a chance to get accepted?
2) So since the candidate has non computer science Bachelors degree - does candidate need to do any computer programming courses ( Java/Python etc) in US community college or anywhere before applying? To enhance chances of getting accepted. I know you referenced some course in India but am looking for such course in US for the prospective candidate. Appreciate if you can provide some details and guidance regarding this. Thanks!
More in this series please
This is awesome do you have any locations for examples for statement of purpose and background essay?
I got my B.Eng of Communications and Electronics degree. However, this one has five specializations and I chose for C.S. Do I still have to revalidate when applying to OMSCS since my degree is not specifically C.S.?
You can apply and mention your specialisations.
Thank you❤
I believe along with TOEFL one also has an option of taking up IELTS academic for proving competency in English.
Yes
I was hoping for "WHY" as well...It would be nice if you cover this in future videos
I will discuss why or why not online in upcoming videos.
Hey Yogita,
I did my B.Sc from Delhi University in Science and some how made to Software Developer world.
Can I apply for MS - Georgia tech ?
mam, if possible
please elaborate a little more on the research and LOR you got from the IIT professor.
What are the "unofficial transcripts" mentioned in the application process. Is it the degree certificate or the consolidated mark-sheet? Is it fine to upload just the scanned copy of the originals?
Is it fine if all LORs are taken from work peers since OMSCS website mentions that it's preferrable to take from academic profs?
Also is it fine if LORs are taken from prev. company managers/TLs instead of current company?
You can take all from work. It should be fine.
In india, non-eng CS/IT bachelor's degree is of 3 years. What should we do in this case?
Madam my son is doing Btech CSIT (cybersecurity) . He is in 4th year currently . Should he pursue masters in cybersecurity? Or do job and do certifications ?
Fall 2024 Is the masters in cybersecurity online course worth ? Doing it on campus is the best option ? Expensive on campus also. I would appreciate your outlook on this .
Thank you nice explanation I want to study this master
Hi Yogita, I am a non-CS grad, but alreday working in MNC as Senior Software Engineer. Do they also acknowledge or give any credit to existing experience in IT?
Yes they would consider experience to be relevant. Explain thoroughly in your essays and get good recommenders.
Ma'am, I have an AICTE Approved 3-year Diploma Engineering and because of that I got a Lateral entry to B.Tech i.e., 1st year is exempted total academic year is 3 instead of 4year, so am I eligible?
Yes you should be eligible.
Mam, after completing online masters program in GEORGIA TECH UNIVERSITY then how will I get this MS degree means they will send this degree to my home address or they will send this degree in PDF format . Plz tell me because I am in confusion.
I‘m a bit confused, in your video you mention that a minimum of 3.5 GPA is required but on their website the mention that a minimum of 3.0 GPA is required. Am I missing something?
Thank you for the information! Are there other exams you can take outside of NPTEL?
NPTEL exams take place physically and I am currently based out side of India.
I am not sure of the alternatives.
Hi yogita,pls explain the benefit of doing this degree.will we get the benefit of working in us?
Great
Thanks for the info. May i know the career oppurtunities after omscs in georgia tech and details?
Hello Yogita,
What made u decide to go for masters since you already have good relevant experience so basically what was the purpose behind going for masters. If it was specific to Data Science specialization i can understand But if it was general Computer Science masters then what was your intent ?? Reason i wanted to know is because i have god amount of work experience & in past i decided to pursue this but was not sure what additional i will get from this
Last video on masters series will answer that.
Now the statement of purpose is no longer required. They replaced with a couple of short answer questions with input limits. Guess the committee read enough life stories lol.
What do you mean when you say CS and 'related degrees'? Do they have any list wherein they have already specified what are those related degrees?
Degree in any STEM field
Also you can't take 2 courses in summer (3 in spring or fall) unless you have already completed 4 courses already; it requires permission.
want more videos on international opportunities related to computer science
Does the degree say that it's online degree. Do we have difference in degrees from online and offline formats?
Hi yogita,
Do we have online masters for embedded or robotics domain
Is it complete online or partial online plus offline masters, as i see one of my senior did one year online and 2 nd year offline. If it possible?
Ma'am.. if student did his b.tech degree in electronic branch so can be that student are eligible for this degree or not?
For letter of recommendation, can I ask my managers from my previous companies to write one?
Hi Yogita it would be great if you can discuss more on on-campus transfer in OMSC in futher videoes about the process for it
Next to next video will have those details.
@@sudocode Even I was waiting for this video details on OMSC to on-campus transfer and Visa details for getting job opportunities in US after completion of MS.
In this masters degree is there any placement assistance like masters degree from iit where placement season start after completion of 1 st year in master's???
Yes there is but it depends on the companies if they are willing to hire remote candidates. With on campus transfer you will surely get placement opportunities.
@sudoCODE Could you please share the courses your husband did from NPTEL to get admission for the people like me who are not from CS background?
I have completed Bachelor of Computer Science(3yrs) and Masters in Computer Application(2yrs) so am I eligible?
But where now they need essay, on their website now they have not mentioned anything about these two essays you are mentioning
I'm completing my bachelor in physics. Can i apply online masters in computer science in Georgia tech university after completing bachelor?
Could you tell me which all NPTEL courses did you husband took in order to get in?
I have a doubt, about how many pages of Essay do we need to write?
if I completed ms degree from Georgia tech University can I get 40000 job in India or abroad . Please tell me am in the second year of the BCA bachelor of computer education
from mdsu University of Ajmer
Help mam,
I am a bca student
Can i apply for ms online from Georgia Tech, because my bca degree course duration is 3 years, so can I able to apply or not in this program,
Please reply mam 🙏
Would The fees be the same for some one that is out of state of Georgia?
anyone know if I can get a refund for the application fee ? I attended 3 english schools and they dont even accept duolingo test which is easy and cheap. I am not in the mood to start doing IELTS classes. Knowing I paid 105 USD for a 100% rejection pisses me off
Can a MCA in specialisation ml and AI eligible as computer science degree to apply for it?
Thanks for this Informative Video. I was preparing to apply for this Univ. Have scored 88 in Toefl. Do you think it is fine score to apply at GT in CS?
Did you get admission?
@@adiin-1940 I didn't apply. Got admission in Univ of Texas at Austin.
Hi Yogita,
I have a bachelors degree ECE with good grades. I am into software dev field and really interested in pursuing OMSCS. What are the courses that I need to complete from NPTEL for applying? Can you please provide details and links? Thank you so much for the detailed videos!!
with a BTECH in ECE do you still need NPTEL ? since you are working as well in Software..
Can you please tell which courses from NPTEL to take for non CS students
C/C++, DSA, algorithms, databases.
Thanku for the informative video .. I have a cs degree and 5 yrs of experience , but I am not working now .. having professional year gap , from where Shud I get the LORs?
You may ask your ex-managers, ex-leads.
What if I have 4 year major degree in ECE and minor degree in CSE? Do I still have to go for NPTEL accredited courses?
Not necessarily. If you have software engineering work experience, do try to apply first.
Can an international student already studying in the USA with F-1 visa earn this master degree?
TOEFL not required under certain criteria:
"You are exempt from submitting standardized test scores (TOEFL & IELTS) if you: - Are a citizen of one of the countries listed below, or - Attended a university or college for a minimum of one academic year (3 quarters or 2 semesters) in one of the countries listed below.
American Samoa, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, Botswana, British Virgin Islands, Canada, except Quebec, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guam, Guyana, Ireland, Jamaica, Kenya, New Zealand, Nigeria, Puerto Rico, Singapore, South Africa, Trinidad and Tobago, U.S. Virgin Islands, Uganda, United States, United Kingdom, Zambia, Zimbabwe
All other applicants must provide an official TOEFL iBT or IELTS Academic test score."
Thank you for this insightful video.
I have few questions:
1. Does in this MS Degree anywhere there is mentioned that it was pursued through Online mode?
2. How this degree will be seen as Regular MS or not & can we pursue PhD in US post completion of this degree?
3. Can this degree help us to get job in US if US employer is willing to hire?
This online degree is the EXACT same degree that On-Campus student get from Georgia Tech, nowhere on the diploma it says that it is online. Same courses, curriculum and toughness. This is the reason why it is very very difficult (TOUGH)
Hello ma'am Can you make video regarding fees payment like is there any emi options to pay course as well as admission fees
Those details are in omscs program pages. Follow links in description.
Hi, really informative content, thanks for sharing. One question though, can you please compare the pros and cons of persuing master's online vs going to the US?
Really confused. Thanks
Next to next video on the same.
Hi yogita, would applicants require an American citizenship to pursue the course?
No they don’t
My minor is CS and have work experience in the same field. Can I apply without taking any NPTEL courses?
Yes you can try to apply first with the experience.
Could you share the courses that your husband had taken in NPTEL before applying
Where we write semester exam online or offline
Hi yogita !!! Other than George Tech. , Can you give name of University which also offer online Degree in CS or similar stream , that would be very beneficial for us .
Thankyou !!! 😊
Also if you know about some colleges of USA , Canada or Germany who offer online Degree , please make an video on it. 👍
Bca student can do masters degree mam
Does GATE score in CS considered as alternative to CS degree?
I don’t think so.
