Every college has their own advantages and disadvantages. Also, the ranking is also just an idea and it varies from website to website and that cannot be 100% take for consideration. Also the outcome depends on how the student performs in those 2 years during the course of study. Considering the factor of learning exposure, PSGIM provides a great exposure in learning which will be useful for the entire life.
