Some Factors/Assumptions taken in to Account

Getting financial support in a school is more important for a student than ranking or location of the University Schools having similar rankings, the one with less number of International applicants is given Preference. “Big Schools” Which offer many Courses are given good ranks as there is a chance for On campus jobs and Graduate Assistants (Ex: University with Medical Campus will generate a lot of Jobs of Computer Science students Web Designing / Data Management Jobs) Preference is given to places where a student can get Internships and Jobs Places with less number of Indian students are given higher preference (reason: Less competition) Other factors include Safety, Cost of Living, Climatic Condition, Geographic Location & Living Conditions. VISA issues based on a feedback from 500 students have been taken as a factor. Tuition of the University was taken in to consideration and preference was given to one with low tuition Schools run under State System and federal system were given preference to Private Universities It must clearly be understood that this above information is for "guidance only".In no event shall the owner of this web site, or any representative or agent thereof, be liable under any theory based in contract, negligence or strict liability or any other legal or equitable theory to any party for any amounts including, without limitation, lost revenues, lost profits, lost business or indirect, consequential, incidental, special or punitive damages.
