Masters Degree @24: Is it Normal?

AI Thread Summary
Starting a master's degree at age 24 is considered normal, with many students being older and having work experience. Completing a bachelor's degree three years prior without relevant work experience in electronics engineering is not uncommon. The value of a master's degree can vary, but a strong engineering background often suffices for high-paying jobs. Many students in master's programs come from diverse professional backgrounds, with a significant number being closer to 30. Pursuing a master's at this age is a valid choice, and the individual plans to enroll in an IIT for further studies.

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.

I was in a different field from you but I don't think I'm unique in my experience.
 
thanks a lot for sharing your views. . . .I will be joining one of the IIT for my masters degree this year
