Siva, Would you like to pause after your undergrad and try out your hand in cyber security in the real world? A two to three years of work experience would clarify whether (a) this is the field of specialisation for you (b) what would higher studies in this field mean for your professional enhancement. Wet your feet and then decide. US is not going anywhere. Best wishes

Siva, stand alone SUNY Albany is not a great University. But if it comes as an add on to your MBA in Fintech and Cyber Security at IIT Jodhpur it might be a good idea to take it up provided it cost is affordable. The advatnages in doing it is, one obviously an exposure to the US education, though not from a top University, is always valuable. Second it will help you differentiate from other students at IIT Joudhpur. Having said that please remember it is not an easy job market in the US now, and with Trump coming back it is going to get more difficult. So chances of landing a job in the US is slim if that is your objective for taking up this course. I hope this will aid your thought process and help you take the right decision. Wish you all the best.

Ram - I agree with Roy C with small caveat. The pedigree of Univ in US is relatively less important in tech fields and careers these companies give you a chance and don’t eliminate you like a Inv bank etc. Do you have to make the call now or in seconds year of MBa ? The closer you are to finishing it is easier to analyze job market conditions etc.
