I highly doubt you'd be able to get into a US University with a 65% grade average from India.  However, if you were to find a job as an engineer and pick up some work experience, that would be very valuable and would probably help your admissions chances if you chose to apply again in a few years.

If u are seeking for higher education, then u can gat B-stat/M-stat\nand higher degrees for free and with full stipend/scholarships from Indian Statistical Institute(ISI).\nYou can even do B-Tech/M-tech/MS/Ph D from Indian Institutes of Technology(IIT).\nLot of students from Nigeria, Ghana and other african countries are studying here.\nYou only need recommendations from your current college, university, you have to contact the authorities of ISI' and IIT's and pass the admission tests.\nGo to ISI and IIT websites and find more

How about learning to say please.\n\nAn unprepared student must learn the hard way.\n\nThere are no ready made solutions in real life, you have to learn to act instinctively based on you past experiences.\n\nOtherwise how would you do in a real situation as a doctor or as an Engineer. Think abou it. Cheating does not always pay.

With your GPA, college would be a wonderful choice for you, and you could qualify for several scholarships.  That would be my recommendation.

There are several colleges/universities that have programs for students with lower test scores.  \n\nMany offer sort of probation, where you have to maintain a certain gpa.  The idea would be to get your foot in the door.  Try Western Michigan University, I know they have special programs.  But you'll have to get with your counselor and do some investigating to find a college that will meet your needs in the long term.

I'm sorry.  I do not know because I grew up there, so that never came up.  But, if you call the University you plan to attend, they can help you.  There are also many many scholarships available if you don't qualify for a grant.  And, if grades are a problem, there are even some where that is not a major consideration.

You say "something" always holds you back but you do not list any of these things.\n\nHere are some tips, some of which may apply and some may not:\n1) Give up Alcohol\n2) Stop going to parties\n3) Dump your abusive boy/girl-friend\n4) Take less credit hours per semester\n5) Take more credit hours per semester\n6) Talk to your professors in all classes (not just ones you're doing poorly in).\n7) Live on campus\n8) Live off campus\n9) Take a summer school class\n10) Don't give up because 90% of people who "take a break" never go back\n11) Study more\n12) Start a study group\n13) Talk to your advisor\n14) Change your major\n15) Buckle down and stay with your major\n16) Apply for grants if money is the problem

I'm not God but hopefully I can help.\n\nI was 17 when I started college and my course was civil engineering. I got in to a great university but I didn't take my studieas seriously. Due to some personal bad experience I dropped out, basically I flunked and can't enroll for my 2nd year. I stopped for a year to do some soul searching, sadly nothing happened or maybe I didn't do anything. I enrolled to a different university, but I wanted to try mechanical or electrical engineering but they wouldn't accept me caus eof my bad grades. I tried everything else but not my original course, I lost hope but I wound up to enroll in the philosophy program.\n\nAfter a year I shifted back to my original course which is civil eng. along the way (though not in school) I met my bestfriend that's where everything changed for me for the better. He taught me tons of things about life and he was the first person I have ever considered as my friend. Now having learned my lesson and deciding what I really want in life, I'm 21 years old and just like you a 2nd year student. I should already be graduated but I have no regrets, because I had to go through what I had to go through.\n\nNow I am definite in what I want and what I can ahcieve. It's hard but that's life. Anyway being a student is way easier than having a job. Do what you can, do your best, decide what you want. Make a choice it's really up to you. anyway it's just 3 or 4 more years ahead, time will fly by like you never even noticed it. \n\nHope you make up your mind. God Bless!

Either try University of Missouri-Rolla, or Collorado School of Mines.  They are two of the top schools in the nation for engineering studies.

You can do anything you set your mind to, if people discourage you consider it a challenge to prove them wrong. There is a serious lack of Quality engineers. There is plenty of time for your choice, many very successful people do not find their calling until they have experienced a number of choices. The main thing is to believe in yourself and perhaps you should try writing down your goals, and each year go back and review them; you will be surprised at how far you can go, and how things can change in this technical age. Best Of Luck!

check with the schools financial aid office. ask for scholarships or student loan programs. check out tuition waivers based on gpa performance. also, find out if you qualify for that funding, being that you are an international student.

The first thing you should do is to write proper English. If you write things this poorly, every one will reject you outright.\nThe next thing to do is to go to a library and look up scholarships. It sound simplistic but you apply for every thing you can and do it for several months if not years. Sooner or later some scholarships will come in. \nWhile this is all going on, you must be willing to work in the lowest of low jobs and put up with hardship while showing great dedication to getting an education.

I’m in the same situation as you are, I know its hard, and we have less of a chance than any one. But there are a lot of academic scholarships out there. You can also look for ones based on the field you want to study. I know here (texas) there are scholarships through the state to become architects and the like, but you must work for the state for the first few years after you graduate. There are many others like that too, try looking into internships over the summer, that always helps.

Don't count yourself out - in retrospect my SATs were crap - 1250 - but I got into UC Berkeley in nuclear engineering.  I think my GPA was around 3.8 unadjusted, over 4.0 including the AP, etc.  Point being that your SAT, your essays, any letter of recommendation or whatever will all help.  \n\nBut raise your grades.  You don't have good study habits with grades like that.  You better learn them, otherwise your concern won't be getting in - it'll be how to compete against the other kids once you've made it.  Good universities are killer, and they won't cut you any quarter.  If you don't learn good study habits in high school, you'll die in college.\n\nSo cut the sh*t out and buckle down now.

Try Computer Science or Electricals. Biotech is also promising.
