It depends on your personal career goals and what expectations you have for your future professional endeavors. Of course, a master's degree from outside India will open the door to more opportunities in countries like Canada...If you plan to move abroad one day...
In canada, physio is being phased out at the undergraduate level and future PTs will be required to hold MPTs or Msc in PT to practice...The same applies to states, I guess...

So, if I were in your position and able to gather the necessary funds, I would definitely go for Msc or MPT abroad (or outside India)...

Good luck in your future endeavours....
