Wow !!! Vasan Teacher has explained every nuances to get admission . I cant even throw my few cents here..
Anyways TOEFL and GRE are mandatory and its good sense to wrtie your TWE if yur UT is going to pursue a PhD after M.S ..
When it comes to admission in schools .. the general equation works Top Tier from Indian schools get admission in top 10 in US and so on . Its just that admission committee is ignorant about the presence of other schools ;( . GRE and Grades are basically threshold for any school admission policies . Your resume and recommendation letter comes to play later . It very crucial to decide on whom to get the letter of recommentation . You have to go with the odds.
Funding Phew !!! Fellowships and Departmental Funding are granted only for 10 % of the admitted students and likely to be given to IITians . Its very wise to contact the prof in your field of interest to establish a rapport. There is a very high possiblity you may end up with funding.
PS : its not advisable to choose security , core network as your domain because it requires security clearance and other admistrative procedures in the future . Just a line ...
Hope I had something to offer.
