Thank you very much Sir, will update you.
Once again thanks a lot.

Getting graduated from top 50-100 universities in USA has more global value than in any other continent (My friend who did his MS in USA shared this). Post MS if he has plans of making his future in Europe then MS in Europe should be fine (My friend who did his MBA in Italy shared this). MS in countries like Germany and Italy are more affordable than UK,USA. If he chooses Germany then he also needs to learn Germany and get a good grade like C1,C2,B1,B2 because it is mandatory for off campus survival (one of my colleague's sister-in-law recently got trained for Germany language in Banjara hills and left to Germany,so my colleague shared this). He better choose the university not by its name,fame or ranking but by the subject he wants to pursue(Like good number of astronomers came out of Purdue University which was not much famous before 2010 because people who want to do MS in astronomy choose it because it had good astronomy professors) . Hope this info could be help full. Thank you.

M.S.R.H.Prasad sir, I would suggest them to first try out things by themselves rather than approaching consultancy because things can be done by ourselves, only thing is we need to keep going for the right sources and info regarding "Process and Procedures to apply for MS". More than 90% students approach consultancy because things get easier, but there are few people like my friend who did everything by his own for MS in USA like (writing GRE, apply for right universities after doing research in Google, keep in touch with the university, get ready for VISA......etc.) There are 2 plus points (1) By doing such things himself he will get good experience and also confidence. If in case for anything he needs to do in Italy this experience will push him to approach the right administrative officials and get things done. (2) Recently i came across CANADA PR Process where consultancies charge 2lakhs but after Googling i found out that it can be done within 1Lakh. So you guys can save money too. Actually it all depends on his inner strengths to apply by himself even If he gets pulled back by his friends to apply through consultancy. If he fails after giving in everything then he could approach consultancy. I don't know which stream he wants to do MS but i heard Germany is good place for Mechanical Engineering.         Thank you Sir.

Dear vhk sorry for late response, yes i advised him to deal with his own, fortunately his friends also wish to do MS either in Italy or Germany. luckily his seniors are doing in Italy and Germany. they are guiding him. 
Yes as you said for Mechanical Germany is the best.
Thanks a lot for the sharing the your value inputs, will be update you soon.
Thanks once again,

M.S.R.H.Prasad sir, Seniors guidance is a good plus point. Its better to collect information from them as much as possible but make sure your son is the decision maker, because they are not aware about your son's  goals, capabilities, interests. Most of the students while pursuing their MS carry a very serious thing called "ROI"(Return on investment) deep down in their heart which could make much of a difference in their decision making (I don't want to talk much about it because it comes under "family matter section") . I would suggest him to stick to quality of education by good professors rather than Brand/popularity of University, Because  few knowledge hungry quality engineers go ahead to do Phd under great professors after their MS.

Hello,

sharing feedback and request for your valuable inputs,

when i posted last time, there was no corona,  think about further studies, but after corona virus, the final semester exams are postponed, don't know whether the exams are conducted or not.
Now situation is not clear. at the position not to willing to go Abroad, more over to join course completion certification is needed, without final semester exams the certificate will not be issued by the College.
Got Info. from IBM, at present recruitments are postponed, will inform later who were selected.....?
He recently attended another networking company all rounds are completed successfully just waiting for the result...any positive out put can expect? if any time period?  he feels some tension moments...
pls. share your value inputs,
