Will I still get my Master’s degree if I fail the IIT/IIM program? Is there a cut-off to qualify?
When you complete the IIT/IIM program and clear the exams, you will earn 30% of the total credits required for your Master’s degree.
Although there is no fixed cut-off, a minimum of 3 CGPA is preferred. Some universities may charge a higher tuition fee for students with scores below 3 CGPA in the IIT/IIM program.
In case you don’t complete the IIT/IIM program or clear the exams, you will still get to pursue 70% credit in the US as usual. But, you will also have to make up for the remaining 30% of the credits by taking up additional courses while in the US.
This might result in the extension of your Master’s duration, and can also increase your expenses by a huge margin.

With the Futurense US Pathway, you will earn 30% of your total credits through the IIT/IIM Program, and the remaining 70% at the US university. The 30% credits you earn here in India will be automatically transferred when you fly to the US university.
