I want to go abroad for Masters course after completing my B.Sc in statistics but have only 15 years of education. What should I do?

You can consider pursuing Masters in statistics or Masters in applied statistics from Australia, Singapore and Germany with a 15 years degree. However if you are keen to apply to US and Canada, you will need to either complete a Masters degree or Post Graduate Diploma from an accredited institute in India; some institutes do not accept PGD, hence ask the desired institutes before pursuing any program in India. While some institutes in the US and Canada accept three years Bachelors degree, you can refer their admission requirements or drop an email. US and Canadian Universities may ask for a WES evaluation that will ascertain the equivalency of your three years degree with their 4 year undergraduate degree. Every country has varied admission requirements for Masters degree based on the course you plan to apply for. You will have to appear for certain standardized tests such as GRE and TOEFL/IELTS. The application process begins a year in advance before the planned intake, hence before the application begins make sure to have the scores ready. GRE test requires a minimum of three months for preparation, so plan accordingly. If you cannot divert your attention to test preparation whilst studying for B.Sc, I suggest that you start preparing after your final year exam. If you are planning for 2018 intake, then you need to have your scores ready by September / October 2017. Refer ETS website for detailed information on GRE and TOEFL. You can visit British Council website for IELTS test details.
