It is an amazing accomplishment to be awarded a full scholarship plus an assistantship for a master's program in the United States. However, a frequently asked concern by students in professional professions like engineering is if an indian airport requires a No Objection Certificate (NOC) before to departure.  

When going overseas for work, indian professionals like doctors and engineers frequently require a NOC from their local authorities. However, in order to leave the country, students with an F1 visa usually do not require a NOC.  Those who have finished their licensing and plan to practice abroad are primarily subject to this criterion.

When students fail their licensure examinations and are unable to receive a NOC from agencies such as MOSET, confusion frequently results.  Most students don't have any problems at the airport because the F1 is meant for study purposes rather than jobs.  Typically, immigration officers check your financial records, admission letter, and visa—not a NOC.  

Nevertheless, laws and how they are applied can differ, and some students have been asked about it at immigration checkpoints.  If you're unsure, it could help to have a formal letter from your university explaining why you're traveling.  Before you go, it's a good idea to speak with the indian immigration office.

The NOC does not prevent most F1 pupils from traveling to the United States.  Nonetheless, a smooth departure free of last-minute concerns can be ensured by being aware and ready.
