Is an MS at Georgia Institute of Technology worth it for Indian students?

Georgia Institute of Technology fees for Indian students

Estimated total fees for the MS Computer Science / Data Science at Georgia Institute of Technology come to about ₹99.1L in rupees - that's tuition plus living costs for the full program in Atlanta, converted at July 2026 rates. Tuition is the larger share; Atlanta living costs move the total more than most students expect. This is a tiered estimate by QS rank and destination, not Georgia Institute of Technology's own published fee, so confirm the exact tuition on the official program page before you budget.

Georgia Institute of Technology package in rupees - average vs “highest”

The average starting package for this profile is about ₹98.2L/year in rupees - a market salary band for the role and city (Glassdoor/Indeed/PayScale), not Georgia Institute of Technology's own placement figure. On payback that's roughly 2.1 years against the fees above.

On the “highest package” searches: we deliberately don't publish one. Viral “highest package” numbers are almost always a single outlier offer, often unverified, and they tell you nothing about what you'll actually earn. The average and the payback are the honest figures to plan around. If you want a per-university published outcome, only a handful of programs release one - our free assessment flags exactly which those are.

Georgia Institute of Technology acceptance rate

We don't publish an acceptance-rate number for Georgia Institute of Technology, and here's the honest reason: for master's programs a single university-wide percentage is misleading. Admission is decided per department and per intake, an MS in CS or Data Science is often far more selective than the institution's headline rate, and QS rank doesn't reliably predict the bar you personally face. Quoting a made-up figure would be exactly the kind of number this site exists to replace.

We measured that rather than asserting it. Across the 44 programmes whose admission bar we read directly off the official page, the correlation between QS rank and published minimum GPA is -0.16, and the median bar is 3.00 both inside and outside the QS top 50. Here is the full working, and what to use instead.

What actually decides your odds is your GPA versus the program's published bar, your test scores, and your profile fit. For Georgia Institute of Technology's current requirements, check its official admissions page.

Where these numbers come from - and what they are not

This page is part of our broad coverage layer: 356 universities from the QS World University Rankings 2026 (topuniversities.com, published 19 Jun 2025), with cost, salary, and payback estimated by QS rank band and destination job market. We have not independently verified these figures for Georgia Institute of Technology, and we don't publish an admit likelihood here - QS rank doesn't reliably predict a program's actual admission bar, so we won't fabricate one.

Before making a real decision: verify tuition on the official program page, salary bands on Glassdoor/Indeed/PayScale, and visa rules on the relevant government site. Visa figures here reflect United States policy as of July 2026.
