The Reality of Going to the U.S. Right After Class 12
Studying in the U.S. immediately after Class 12 (Intermediate Second Year) involves more than just academics. It means:
– Moving 13,000 km away, right after Class 12
– Living alone at 17 or 18, with no support system
– Managing admissions, visas, housing, and expenses by yourself
– Adjusting to a new education system overnight
– Taking on the full ₹2 crore cost upfront
– Facing visa risks without a backup plan
– Doing all this without knowing if it leads to a job in the U.S.
For many students, it’s too much, too soon.
This program offers a simpler path — one that gives students time to prepare, and families time to plan.
Step 1 — Start in Hyderabad (Year 1 & 2 at Anurag University)
You begin at Anurag University in Hyderabad — ranked the 3rd Best Engineering College in Telangana*.
You build a strong foundation in programming, algorithms, systems, and data structures. The curriculum follows the same academic model used in the U.S.
You're also fully trained for the U.S. visa interview — with everything from documentation to mock rounds handled end-to-end.
By the end of Year 2, you're ready — academically, personally, and visa-approved — to move to the U.S. for the final two years.

Step 2 — Transfer to the U.S. (Year 3 & 4 at ASU)
In Year 3, you move to Arizona State University (ASU) — ranked #2 in the U.S. for employability among public universities*, and home to the largest engineering school in the U.S.
You build skills in computer science, AI, cloud computing, full-stack development, data science, and cybersecurity.
Alongside academics, you're trained with real strategies to launch your career in the U.S. — from building your resume and portfolio to preparing for interviews and internships.
These two years prepare you to graduate with confidence — and take the next step: working in the U.S. through OPT.

Step 3 — Graduate Ready to Work in the U.S.
You finish your degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or Software Engineering.
You become eligible for OPT — which means you can work in the U.S. after graduation.
