Yes, it is possible to pursue a second master's degree in the United States after completing a master's degree in India. However, admission to graduate programs in the US is highly competitive, and the specific requirements for admission vary from institution to institution.

To be considered for admission to a master's program in the US, you will typically need to meet the following requirements:

• Hold a bachelor's degree or its equivalent from an accredited institution
• Submit transcripts from all post-secondary institutions attended
  Provide official test scores (such as the GRE or GMAT, if required by the program)
• Write a statement of purpose explaining your goals and qualifications for the program
• Provide letters of recommendation from previous professors or other academic references
• Meet the English language proficiency requirements of the institution (TOEFL, IELTS, etc.)

Additionally, pursuing a second master's degree in the US can also have financial implications. You may need to pay tuition and other fees, as well as living expenses if you decide to study in the US. It is important to research the costs of attending a specific institution and to plan accordingly, taking into account your own financial situation and the availability of financial aid or scholarships.

Some universities and organizations offer financial support to international students, so it is a good idea to look into these options as well. Finally, you should also be aware of the visa requirements for studying in the US, as you may need to apply for a student visa if you are accepted into a program.

Yes, one can do a second master's in the UK even if you have already done it in India. Admission policies are not too rigid; most universities wish to welcome applicants with a second master's degree, especially those interested in acquiring some specific knowledge or an interest in new areas.

In your application, what will be crucial is that you expound clearly on why you want to pursue a second master's and how it relates to your career or academic goals. Admissions committees usually look for a strong reason behind such a decision whether you are changing fields, deepening your expertise, or just looking to enhance your prospects internationally.

The contrast between the two masters should be what you stress. Thus, for instance, you might have studied in a more general master's earlier and now want specialization or a different orientation from the global point of view. The likelihood of getting a problem by the way of a visa is not likely to be there, but by appearing diligent as you present and discuss your reason within reason to pursue the chosen program, you will not have a hitch getting accepted.
