Already have an admit percentage from somewhere else?
An admit probability tells you if you'll get in. It doesn't tell you if it's worth it.

fastest payback in budget
Most of what fits this budget is in Germany and Canada.
A "Reach" label is not a reason to skip your dream school. Apply anyway - this tells you what it costs and how long it takes to pay back, not whether to try.

Why we built this
"No consultant told me that a 'core' branch student switching to CS/Data Science should first do a minor or spend a couple of years in an IT job - they just handed me the same generic shortlist as everyone else in my batch."

Frequently asked questions
Is TruthPathMS actually free?
The basic assessment and your top 3 program matches are free, always. The full report (all matches, full ROI and risk breakdown) is a one-time ₹499 Admit Audit with 30 days of second opinions (3 full re-runs included), or ₹999 Full-Cycle Diagnostic with a full year of second opinions (10 full re-runs included) - no subscription, no recurring charge either way.
What if my profile changes after I pay - new GRE score, different budget?
Every purchase includes second opinions: edit your answers and the matching runs again, no extra payment. ₹499 gives you 30 days of second opinions (3 full re-runs included); ₹999 gives you a full year (10 full re-runs included). Your scorecard also lives at a personal link (emailed to you), so it survives refreshes and new devices. Re-runs stay tied to the name and email on the purchase.
Do I need to give my phone number to see my matches?
No. The free assessment only asks for your name and email - no mobile number, no OTP verification, and no follow-up call. We only ask for a mobile number at the point of actually paying for the full report, and only so we can send your receipt.
I already ran an admit-probability tool elsewhere - why do I need this too?
Admit-probability tools answer one question: will you get in. They typically don't touch what it costs, what you'll actually earn, or whether your visa timeline makes the math work - several say so themselves in their own FAQs. Use an admit predictor for your odds; use this for whether it's worth ₹30-50L once you're in.
How is this different from a study abroad consultant?
Consultants are usually paid a commission by the universities or agents they place you with, which can bias which programs get recommended. TruthPathMS takes no commission from any university - we don't earn anything when you apply or enroll, so there's no incentive to steer you toward a particular school.
How does the matching and scoring actually work?
It's a disclosed, rule-based formula - not an AI trained on real historical admit outcomes (no one has verified, program-level admit/reject data at that granularity). Your scorecard shows the exact weighted math behind every score, and the full methodology is explained on the results page under "How does this matching actually work?"
Where do the cost, salary, and visa numbers come from?
Tuition and visa-policy figures come from official university and government sources. Starting salaries are official per-institution data where a university publishes it (currently Georgia Tech and NJIT); everywhere else, they're broad published market bands (Glassdoor, Indeed, PayScale, ZipRecruiter), not per-university outcomes. Every program card lists its specific sources.
Which countries and programs are covered?
USA, UK, Canada, Germany, and Australia, across MS Computer Science and Data Science programs in two disclosed tiers: fully verified (every cost, salary, and visa figure individually sourced) and requirements-verified (admission bar checked against the official admissions page; costs estimated by QS-rank tier, and labeled as such). We're expanding both tiers over time.
Don't see your target school? Search our 356-university coverage list →I'm in a "core" branch (Mechanical, Civil, etc.) - can I still get into a CS/Data Science master's?
Yes, but the path matters and consultants rarely explain it - they often hand every core-branch student the same generic shortlist. A minor in a relevant area, or 1-2 years in an IT/analytics role first, can meaningfully change what's realistic for you. We ask for your branch today mainly for context; work experience already factors into your admit score, but branch-specific matching isn't built into the scoring yet - it's on our roadmap because it's exactly the kind of detail that gets skipped.
Does it matter which specific university I pick, or is any MS abroad worth it?
It matters more than most people are told. We've seen someone take a consultant's advice, leave a stable job in India for a master's abroad, and now struggle to convert that degree into a job because the specific program's country had a much shorter post-study work-visa runway than expected. That's why every match here gets a disclosed "visa pathway strength" rating and a risk flag when it's weak - the country and program you pick can matter more than the fact that you went abroad at all.
