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.
