1)University of Oklahoma-Norman
2)Missouri-Rolla
3)University of Nebraska-Lincoln
4)Iowa state university
5)Utah state university
6)SUNY-Buffalo

please you may suggest some universities as well those are suitable for my profile and provides some good funding opportunities if not waiver

THANKS in advance

Actually they are all within reach. the last 3 are pretty good. I'd sugegst u include them and also look at UIC, ASU, U cincinatti, U florida, oregon state, U pitts. these should all be gettable.

A little moderate to ambitious ones may be - u arizona, U iowa, Suny SB etc. Do check up for more colls online

Thank you akshay but generally some doesn't have spring intake and am also trying to avail some funding if not waiver mostly am looking for decent universities with a good funding and good job prospects and according to my knowledge i have finalized above universities but every one around me are saying those univ are below my profile and advising me to apply some good univ so am really confused now i have a clear view after your post can u please also suggest what are the ideal univ for my profile with a good funding as well..

I did suggest a few. For a more rough idea, you can use the profile evaluation section of this website....also funding generally is tough in first semester at top colls, but u can surely get funding by 2nd semester.

I understand ur confusion, even i suggest u to shortlist some better unis. Regarding funding, its really hard to get these days atleast for a MS students ( impossible in 1st sem). Even i know some phds without funding. So, don select an uni solely on funding. About job prospets,its all depends upon u-how u network with ur seniors,maintaing a decent gpa, good relations with ur profs...etc. Not to demoralise u, job prospects are becoming low for an international student these days.
check these if they ve spring intake, but these suits ur profile..
-UTD( good in vlsi, has a locational advantage)
-ASU( overall good in EE)
-NCSU( same as above, this year they were choosy)
-Ohio state( good in EE, reputation)
-USC( decent uni, job prospects better)
-UMINN TC( highly reputed for EE)
-gatech(gettable, though it has good reputation)

thank you maximus and akshay u both have been really helpful and unfortunately UMINN doesnot have spring intake

My cousin is in US and has suggested following list

Purdue univ-West laffayate (just to try my luck)
Michigan state university
NCSU-Raleigh
Iowa sate univ
Univ of Illinois Chicago(UIC)
North Dakota sate univ(NDSU)(really safe)
what do u think about the list and is it good enough or should I add some more schools which are safe...

The list is fine so far...yes, like u said Purdue would be tough. But you never know :-) all the best!

thanks akshay but the Michigan state univ tuition fee is very high $30k so how abt Michigan technological University and i want to add Suny-buffalo as well

Yes its high. But Michigan state is a good uni. Better than Michigan tech...Suny buffalo is fine. Good option.
