If u purchase it from your home country, it would be cheaper.. and you definitely can purchase it from you own country.. But if you want, you may take it from US as well, but that could be a bit expensive..... so.. choice is in your hands..

hi ashish padnani
u wrote in one of your earlier posts that in case the college does not allow an externship one can take leave for say 2 months for the elective and then get back and complete those 2 months in their college..well wont that make the total period of internship 14 months..and having done the same posting twice..

so going by that can one apply for elective right after the 12 months of internship..again a total of 14 months

please guide..
