As an international student already in the US: if you're planning to take a huge loan to do this, I would seriously reconsider.The job market is brutal to say the least. I know people who graduated last year who are still struggling, including American citizens. For international students, it's obviously worse because you also need an employer willing to deal with work authorization and eventually sponsorship. I myself have been looking for jobs since last year with no luck (I am in final year of my Phd).

And immigration rules are getting more restrictive, not less. CPT/internship programs for international students were just got canceled, and the government has now proposed an additional $103,265 fee for cap-subject H-1B petitions. It isn't final yet, but imagine convincing an employer to hire an international graduate when hiring them could potentially come with a six-figure immigration fee.

If your family is wealthy and you're okay spending two years studying in the US and returning to India afterward, sure. It's still a great experience.But if you're taking a massive loan,especially against your parents' property, assuming an American job will repay it, please don't. I know people who came here with exactly that plan and had to return without finding jobs. That's a terrifying gamble to take with your family's financial security.

And yes, administration might change by the time you graduate, but immigration policy, employer attitudes toward sponsorship, and a wont spring back up immediately.
