@duffy44 Yes! Don't waste your money by buying multiple MFs.
1- US rate cuts are round the corner. Buy 2 MFs, one for Small and Midcap and another for Blue-Chips. Don't buy more than 3!
2- It depends on where you want to go. Like in Germany, the tuition fee is zero. In the US, IVY leagues can cost you above 1 cr while state universities cost less than 50 Lacks. (If you'll try to complete your Masters in an year)
Lastly, focus on your exam and profile. A Better profile and better score will enable you for TA/RA plus scholarship.
