3.0

University of Madras distance education

Learning Experience: There is no proper teaching. Online methods they are using. But one day full la class . office going people can't able to attend the meeting. Only 2 days class is available. So they are rushing too fast. I to the regular base degree if you need to again the knowledge.

Placements: No placement is available. Because you are doing the study in distance education right. Soo no placement is available. You need to arrange the job by yourself.

Faculty: The faculty are very rude. They are not proper response. They teaching is too waste. I'm can't able to study all 5 units in just 2 days class. So please so to regular base degree. If you want to again knowledge.

Course Support: They are not supporting. You need to learn by yourself. You can't able to again much knowledge. Course is amazing. Counselling psychology it is a very interesting course i enjoy learning.

Are you an aspiring Cyber Security Professional? If so, then this is a great institution for you!

Placements: Although the session is not complete yet, more than half of the students got placed. For M.Sc. Cyber forensics and information security course, the highest package offered was UBR 10 Lacs per annum. TCS, Wipro, Accenture and HCL are some of the top recruiting companies.

Infrastructure: We have access to Wi-Fi all over the campus which helps us stay connected to the internet with close to zero unit of latency. The classrooms are clean, tidy, spacious and are also equipped with teaching aids- smartboards, projectors, etc. The quality of the food available in the mess is clean and hygienic.

Faculty: The teachers and faculty are very helpful, qualified and knowledgeable and always go the extra mile to help us. The teaching quality is very good.

It's not a great experience but that's fine.

Placements: The placement percentage in our college is 60%–75%, and the package varies each year based on the industry requirement; the same for our year was INR 8,00,000, which was the highest package and INR 5,00,000, which was the lowest package. The worst part of this college is that not all the students get placed on our campus, because of which students fear taking admission.

Infrastructure: The facilities are such that the classrooms are not that great as we are not provided with Wi-Fi access Also, the college has good facilities for games I must say that we have a cricket field, a football field and also a basketball court and a tennis court.

Faculty: The college does not have good infrastructure and because of this, the teachers lack the motivation to give their 100% to make us industry-ready, as can be seen very well by our placement percent. Also, the faculty members are mostly local and they have complained many times but no action has been taken.

Cleanliness is given topmost priority.

Placements: In the current 1st year, we are 50 in a batch from different states and districts. The highest paid salary is of 11 Lacs per annum from IT companies like Salesforce, EY and many more. Recruitments in designation like security analysis, digital forensic examiner are there. The students can do internship in both private or government sectors like CBCID.

Infrastructure: About the facilities, we have air-conditioned classroom, aqua water filters are available. We have well equipped lab with good internet connections. We have the best library with all the books we need. The canteen is good with tasty food at a cheap rate. Cleanliness is well maintained. Sports are good.

Faculty: Faculty have good knowledge of their specific subjects both practical and theoretical. Teaching quality is good. Syllabus is best when compared with other college syllabus related to this course.

Other: I choose this course because I was interested in cybersecurity, it is an emerging course with lots of career objectives and as now it is all related to data, we have to protect our data. And as we study forensic and crime I suggest if we have direct recruitments in government sectors. We organize conferences, paper submission, workshops on cyber world, campaign, projects and currently we organize batch wise teaching to police constables from department CYBER FORENSIC AND INFORMATION SECURITY. As we gonna have 40 cyber police stations in upcoming year.
