Just get admission to those top Univs then. No need to worry about rest of things

You need to worry as long as there is lottery system for H1b approval

doesn't matter even if you are graduated from MIT or Harvard as long as you are an Indian citizen...

• There are average 40–65% Indian students in almost all US universities (except top ones).
• Almost all are pursuing Computer science OR MIS.
• No company gives salary of 100k + to fresh MS grad except the silicon valley ones and companies in big cities like Seattle, Boston, NYC, Miami, etc. But again, silicon valley and big cities are so expensive that you might even have to pay to park your own vehicle in your own office. 100k in Silicon Valley is like 60k in a middle tier city.
• Compensation system in USA for H1B workers and PERM process is based on government guidelines and a prevailing wage system. For every state and every city, there is a decided minimum compensation for software engineers. In Florida, if the minimum compensation for a skill is $60k, the same will be $100 in California as California is very expensive and you can live the same life in 60k in Florida as 100k in California.
• Getting job in Amazon, Google, Cisco, Microsoft, etcs is not easy (even though Google, Microsoft, and Adobe have Indian CEOs). You will have to compete with thousands of application for each job. You will need all sort of connection and application skills. Even if you get lucky to grab a call, at the interview location you will find hundreds other sitting for their turn. On an average, 1 out of 15–20 gets a good job and that too from a very good university.
• There are better companies than amazon, Microsoft, Cisco, etc. in the US but hardly anyone of them sponsor work visa for fresh grads.
• Getting H1B is becoming tougher day-by-day. With more than 215k application for 85k visa, 1 in 4 gets it. And that too when your employer is ready to file as the cost has been increased.
• Paying a loan becomes tough if you fail to secure a good job. I know people working on contracts and for peanuts after their MS just to get some money and pay back loans. Some of them even work 10–15 hours a day.
• Americans are not dumb. They are are the smartest and most hard working people. They are the inventors and researchers. They can do computer jobs as good or better as we do. 10 years ago, there were fewer Americans with Computer Science skills. Hence, we got the jobs easily. But now, as a senior employee of Fortune 50 company, I would say that the American crowd is more interested in computer studies and we are getting US citizen talent easily for every job.
• It doesn’t matter in the US whether you are from NIT or IIT or IIIT. They don’t care and some of them don’t even know these colleges. You will be in queue with the guys from Osmania university and UP tech for each job and will be considered in the same manner.
• Graduate assistant job or scholarship is not for everyone. Typically, in a university, are 10% GA jobs on campus out of all Masters students. Remaining 90% have to struggle OR work outside to get some money. And yes, not all can get those jobs as well.
• There is nothing like ‘On-campus’ placements in USA. Companies will come to your university, but will just grab a copy of your resume and tell you that they will send a response after review. Most of these companies target USA citizens. There will be hundred others standing in queue for each job and everybody will be considered at same level by the company.
• 90k Indian students came to USA last year for MS (source: internet). but Amazon+Google+Microsoft+Intel (mass foreigner recruiters) jointly hired 3k (and that too includes students from all over the world coming to the US) again, source is the visa database. All other companies hire less numbers that the above four. Now you can do your own calculations. And yes, if you think you are among top 4k Indians, no job issues for you.
• It is not easy to secure a good job… People apply for 1500+ companies and get 1 call… Even with prior experience.
• Certifications can help in job, but can’t guarantee one. It is better to have some on your resume.
• 1 in 4 gets H1B and then 1 in 4 gets a green card that means 1 in 16 gets a GC on an average. This is because not all employers file GC for all H1B holders. Forget about citizenship as there is a minimum wait of 8 to 15 years to get actual GC for Indians.
• USA MS degree cannot guarantee a good job in India as well. If the MS degree is not from a top notch, well known university (and by well known I mean Harvard, MIT, Yale etc), you will be treated as equivalent to MTech/MSc graduates from India and will get similar jobs. Even if your university is better than IIT or NIT, you will not be treated in that manner in India.

I don't think all Americans do exceptionally well when it comes to computer science, the age of geniusness has crossed... maa legacy code antha pucchipoyina chinatakay pacchadi la untundi .. senior tellollu rasindi .. they dug deep enough to optimize but only to leave a very dependent piece of code.

manollu moratu ga unna design patterns etc tho chadastapu code rastaru but long run lo chala effort save chestundi

No, not as much as rest of people do. They have ample opportunities and alternatives outside the lottery system unlike rest of us. Applying in lottery is the last thing they care

Yes, that is one example. But not everyone prefers that route though. Mostly Yale Univ graduates do that. Some people travel to different countries and come back once they get H1 or Eb1. Some become part of Silicon valley start-up scene with the VCs backing and network they get. Very few people care about lottery.
