Starting a master's degree at age 24 is entirely normal, as evidenced by personal experiences shared in the discussion. Many students in master's programs, including those at prestigious institutions like the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT), often have several years of work experience and are typically closer to 30 years old. The completion of a bachelor's degree in engineering, such as electronics engineering, is sufficient for securing high-paying jobs, and pursuing a master's degree later can enhance career prospects.
PREREQUISITESRecent graduates, prospective master's students, and anyone considering further education in engineering fields will benefit from this discussion.

There is nothing weird or wrong with doing a masters at 24. I completed my masters last year and only about a fith of the class were fresh out of their bachelors. Most had been working for a few years, most people were closer to 30 than they were to 20.reddvoid said:Is it normal to start masters degree at age of 24 or should I've joined early. . . .i finished my bachelors degree 3years back. . . .and i don't have work experience in my core field which is electronics engineering.
