CMU for computer science is absolutely one of the best schools in the world, for that. I would think that if it were at all possible to get a degree from CMU, it is probably worth it due to the incredible worldwide prestiege of the school.

One thing would be that CMU is a very “intense” school, you may find the workload is significantly more challenging than you would find elsewhere especially at a place like Digipen. I don’t know how it would compare exactly to workloads in India, but from what I know about the tough entrance examinations it may not be a problem. Definitely coming from a place like IIT would not be a problem, you may need to ask people at your particular school who may know more.

It may be difficult to qualify for scholarships and such as an international student for a masters degree. An absolute requirement for admission would be an acceptable TOEFL score and acceptable GRE scores.

I don’t know if you’ve considered this (http://gamepipe.usc.edu/Masters.php) either, but you may want to look.
