Cortlandt Johnson	What do you mean by 15 years of education? Does the student have 5 bachelors degrees? Posted: 2 years ago
Behrooz K Y Avari	To pursue a Master's degree in the US a student needs to have 16 years of education i.e. 12+4. However, in India, we have 15 years i.e. 12+3 (except for Engineering, Medical fields). In India a Masters is normally a two-year program; students generally complete masters part 1 (1 year) and show that as the 16th year. Posted: 2 years ago

Two options: 1. Get your master's in the UK, Canada, NZ or Australia. They'll accept the 3-year degree, usually. 2. Get a master's in India, then do another master's in the US.

It's a good idea to ask each school that you're applying to see if they'll accept 15 years. Every school has a different policy.

Your BA in India can be considered for transfer credit in the US toward a US BA or BS degree. Depending on the subject, students can finish in 1 1/2 years - 2 years, then go on to get a masters in the US. Some business departments in the US accept BBA degrees with higher marks if the student wants to enter the MBA program; but these are decided on a case-by-case basis.
