• Choose off-campus housing only when transport and lease costs beat the $25,268 (INR 24.16 Lakhs) on-campus graduate budget.
• Exclude Tahoe and Honors awards from the Indian budget because their $12,000 (INR 11.47 Lakhs) combined value is not international-eligible.
• Section 80E of the Indian Income-tax Act, the education-loan interest deduction, can reduce taxable income after repayment starts.
• Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) MS routes can use up to 36 months of Optional Practical Training (OPT) in the United States.
