You begin at Rajalakshmi Engineering College (REC), Chennai — accredited by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) with an 'A++' Grade.
You build a strong foundation in programming, algorithms, systems, and data structures. The curriculum follows the same academic model used in the U.S.
You're also fully trained for the U.S. visa interview — with everything from documentation to mock rounds handled end-to-end.
After 3 years, you’ll be equipped — academically, personally, and with visa application guidance — to pursue the final 2 years in the U.S.
In Year 4, you transfer to Arizona State University (ASU) — ranked #2 in the U.S. for employability among public universities and home to one of the largest engineering schools in the country.*
You continue your studies in computer science, AI, cloud computing, full-stack development, data science, and cybersecurity, with access to ASU’s world-class faculty and labs.
During this phase, you also gain the flexibility to pursue your integrated Master’s degree, enabling you to complete both degrees in just five years — instead of the usual six or more.
*As per the Global Employability University Ranking and Survey, 2025.
At the end of Year 4, you may choose to graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, or continue for one additional year to complete your U.S. Master’s (MS) in Computer Science under the integrated track.
Graduates of this five-year pathway are eligible to apply for the U.S. Optional Practical Training (OPT) program, which allows for up to three years of work experience in leading business and technology environments.
Because the first three years are completed in India, you save up to 35% on the total cost of your Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees compared to a full residential program in the U.S.
Families don’t have to arrange the full U.S. expense upfront.
You get more time to plan, save, and manage costs — step by step.
If you're among the first 25 students to apply, you can get a no-collateral education loan that covers up to 100% of college fees and on-campus student housing (hostel).
There’s no need to fund everything upfront—your family gets time to plan, step by step.
