Bachelors of Computer Science and Business (specialisation in Business Analytics) - Batch of 2022
4.7
Lifelong memories, learnings and friends.
Tips: I did not choose the scholarship as I did not want to serve a bond at the time. The transition was quite easy since the local people are very nice, food options are plentiful and everything in general is quite streamlined making it a fantastic country to live in. There were plenty of Indians in my batch which further helped me to adapt faster and helped me find a home away from home.
Likes (Indian Food): Almost every major hostel has a food court, which would consist of multiple different cuisines at subsidised rates. On average a meal used to cost me 6-10 dollars on campus with plenty of Indian, Western, Korean and local stalls spread across campus.
Dislikes (Part time work): A lot of career fairs and events are organised by NTU where prospective employers look for promising candidates for both part time and full time jobs. In addition, a lot of opportunities exist via job search platforms like LinkedIn, JobStreet and Indeed. I myself did internships which I was able to find through LinkedIn.

Great for smart people and hard workers.
Tips: It is not easy to score well so if you’re coming to learn a lot and do well, then great. If you’re looking for an easy experience overseas, then this is not the best option for you. You will have to work over weekends and public holidays to get your assignments done and study for mid terms, etc. It’s a good university but you may occasionally experience racist remarks as a brown person.
Likes (Safety): It’s generally safe for men and women; of course, there are occasional crimes. You can roam anywhere, day or night and are rarely the victim of harassment or robbery. That being said, as with any place, you have to take responsibility for your own safety.
Dislikes (Internships): There was not enough guidance or options. Not much support from the school to source internships. The school just invites companies to come set up booths and showcase, etc., but it works more for some faculties than others. If you are in engineering, then this would not be an issue for you.

Faculty is amazing, approachable and easy to interact with.
Tips: Many cultural shifts. Although there are a ton of Indians natively in the country, there still are some differences in the mannerisms, food and thoughts. There are no scholarships. I am very satisfied with my university, the course, the amenities it provided and the faculty and friends I integrated with.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty is amazing, approachable and easy to interact with. They are always there to help you out and if nothing you can always find a professor to hear you out. The most unique teaching experience was a class test I gave which had no right answers and everyone arrived at different solutions. Pretty cool way to check concepts and also avoid copying since there was no point. Mostly Singaporean and Chinese with a mix of a few Indians, Australians, Europeans, Japanese, etc.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It is not too difficult if you are able to find a job post Masters, but it can be difficult to find a job given the market. My chances are 50 percent. I need to work a few more years to make it 100%.

Great campus and faculty.
Tips: Honestly it hasn't been much time, the Asian culture is very dominant, so not much of a transition but you may feel a communication gap even within Indian people as well. I did not apply for a scholarship however there are multiple provisions where you can sign a work bond with the government. I am pretty much satisfied with the country as well as the university. It may be overwhelming to settle if you have low social skills like me or may experience fomo because locals are not welcoming, there is a difference in thought process wavelength.
Likes (Public transportation): There is a provision of an MRT station being built on campus, however the commute is really easy via the 199/179 buses at campus from where you can easily get to Boon Lay or Pioneer MRT. The MRT card can be retrieved at the station however NETS/ez-link cards can be bought from the local 7-11 stores, where you can top up the money. Public transportation is quite affordable for students. The best part is you can travel from one part of the city to another for less than 5 SDG. That's the min top up it requires.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Securing citizenship in a country like Singapore is really very difficult; however if you are willing to serve the national service for 2 years it can guarantee you citizenship for boys. However permanent residentship might be counted upon as a viable option.

Limited support from the university.
Tips: I got into the wrong company. I associated with the wrong set of people. I spoiled my career and personal life because of that. Be aware of what you are doing. The University itself is safe but Singapore has other influences. You may be an adult according to the legal definition, but that does not mean you will make mature decisions.
Likes (Public transportation): The bus and train network in Singapore is excellent. New train lines are under construction. It is the policy of the Government to have at least one Metro station within a kilometre of anywhere one is in the country. The University campus is expected to get a metro station or two. The bus service is also great.
Dislikes (Part time work): The part-time job option for foreign students is sub-standard jobs in departmental stores, casinos, or something similar. They are not helpful at all unless you want to meet some daily expenses. The good jobs are for Permanent Residents or Citizens, and no foreign student is them.

A good course especially for those looking to enter semiconductor manufacturing jobs.
Tips: Singapore is a very nice place to study and live, especially for Indian students. Scholarships may be available for this M.Sc. course through the TUM DAAD fellowship. This covers a significant part of the tuition fees. They are competitive and based on your performance.
Likes (Quality of faculty): For this course, very good staff from Singapore and TU Munich handled the lessons. While they are a bit intense, it gives a very good balance between two different styles of teaching and examination. The faculty in all cases are senior researchers and put in good effort.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): In Singapore, there is only a short post-study visa, so one is under pressure to find a job towards the end of the course. The PR process is also a little difficult, and it may take a few years. However, there are usually jobs available at the graduate level to sustain oneself.

Strong research opportunities at NTU.
Tips: My transition into the Singaporean research ecosystem and academia could not have been smoother, especially due to the presence of world-class faculty and research facilities. I work mostly on research, and there is no shortage of research opportunities here at NTU, with it boasting about being one of the top research universities in the world. There were minor cultural shifts, yes, but they were not significant owing to the presence of a huge Indian student body. There are scholarship opportunities available for meritorious students. Apart from academic scholarships, there are several TAships, RAships, and part-time gigs available to the students as means to earn money while studying. More specifically, NTU has a Work Study Scheme (WSS) website where job postings are listed regularly. I am extremely satisfied with NTU as a research powerhouse, especially in my field of interest. The course that I am enrolled in is competitive but interesting. Singapore is probably one of the best places to live and work, and I cannot be more satisfied.
Likes (Indian Food): Singapore is a multicultural nation with culinary options from all over the world. Singaporean Indians constitute a huge chunk of the Singaporean population and needless to say there is no shortage of Indian food options. For the more frugal kind Singapore has several hawker stalls at designed hawker centers with meals starting as low as a dollar. Personally, I like to cook at home because it is both cheaper and more convenient for me.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Singapore Permanent Residence (PR) has become extremely competitive over the years. That being said, there is no dearth of PR and job opportunities for the skilful and proactive. NTU provides several opportunities to its students to create industrial connections. There are several corporate labs at NTU that are affiliated with top global companies, providing students with industrial research experiences. NTU frequently hosts a career fair, which serves as an excellent platform to build industrial connections as well.

Excellent country and university but lower job opportunities.
Tips: Double major changes should be applied for immediately when joining if they want to opt. Transfers to NUS are possible after the first semester if GPA is high enough, although it's not necessarily a big upgrade. No scholarships, only a bond but the CS bond is incredibly difficult to get. University is amazing, the course is great and the country is wonderful.
Likes (Internships): One semester is dedicated to internships and plenty of remote and summer opportunities are available to the students. In the internship semester, the university supports the students in landing an internship. The internships are very relevant to the field of study.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are a few companies in the semiconductor and some smaller software firms, FAANG is a big no as they immediately reject foreign candidates unless they are obviously extraordinary in every way. Finance is tricky to break into and has a higher baseline for an employment pass. It's a decent place for Quant Finance though.

Highly qualified faculty who are experts in their field and a diverse campus.
Tips: NTU Singapore is a thriving multi-cultural hub comprising students and faculty from diverse backgrounds. For Indians, it is an active community that soon feels like home upon arrival. There are student bodies that will help you with accommodation. I received the NTU Research Scholarship. Students apply for the scholarship as an option when applying for the programme itself. The scholarship amount during my tenure (2017-2022) was SGD 2500 per month. NTU Singapore is a great place to pursue your degree, either coursework-based or research-based. As one of the top-ranked universities in the world for Engineering and Technology, I would recommend it as a very strong option for future studies.

NTU has a lot of internship opportunities for students.
Tips: The Nangyan Technological University is a stressful place. If you are someone who cannot keep working in very minute conditions, then NTU is not the right place for you. However, if you are up for the challenge, then NTU is perfect for you. You can successfully get financial aid and scholarships as well if you apply early. Having good grades in both pre-school and high school is required. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Post study jobs): The biggest blessing being in NTU is the post-study jobs. They are so flexible and guaranteed that even if you maintain decent grades you can end up getting a very high package and credit. Job timings and work hours are relaxed, and healthy family time is given to nearly every employee.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I gave NTU a low rating for food options because I am Indian and from Uttar Pradesh. I don't like their food, and the food options are very selective and not so tasty. Even though there are many Indian options available, I am not satisfied with the quality of their food. Nothing is better than some lobster-like food of Singapore.

Nanyang Technological University is good but leads to a stressful life.
Tips: Before joining this college students should know that it is a very stressful environment and highly competitive. You need to be caught up with every week's work or else it piles up really quickly. The studies are very fast-paced and very little time off is given. The studies' difficult level is not much but the amount of things to do on top of the stress of the competition is very difficult to deal with.
Likes (Internships): NTU has one of the best internship cultures I have ever heard of. It has provided NTU students with every possible opportunity a student can ask for to get an internship. I did a work-study programme wherein we could intern while studying in the college. There are countless programmes like this and one of the best internshipship portals where you can find listings of available internships in various companies and apply from their portals too.
Dislikes (Indian Food): While there are a lot of food options on campus, Indian food is limited to 2 Indian stalls. The quality of food is not good and it is quite expensive also. I can cope with it ever since I tried other cuisines but I have a lot of Jain friends who still struggle with day-to-day food even after 3 semesters.

Top university of Singapore
Tips: It is one of the top universities in the world. Engineering courses are good but they are taught in an academic way that students can learn on their own. A bit more focus should be given towards industry orientation. Also, an employment pass is required to work here and sometimes that becomes difficult to get as a graduation student fresher. But yes if you are from Asia like me and you want to study any engineering course in a top university, this is the place.
Likes (Safety): Singapore is very safe in fact it is one of the safest countries in the world. I and my friends never faced any security related issues whether inside or outside the campus. The university has helpline numbers in case there is any emergency, for me it was never required to dial it up so I have no idea what the response rate is but I think it would be quite good.
Dislikes (Internships): The university does pave the way to get internships. There is a career portal through which a student can apply to the relevant internships but this doesn't always work well even though there are career guidance offices available to guide again a student has to look out for other options outside. The university has a good reputation outside so it isn't much difficult to get an internship.

Tips: Text specific people to know more about the course. Do not ask generic questions but ask very specific questions. Make sure you know the basics of the course you are joining. If you do not get on campus accommodation, do house hunting beforehand and be aware of scams as it's very common.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty here is amazing, professors are Nobel laureates with futuristic research output. They will help in each and every aspect of your course. They will guide you and will sometimes also help you in getting internships or jobs if they head a startup or a lab.
Dislikes (Internships): There is plenty of guidance and resources available but there is an issue with visas particularly for master's as the course is for one year and on a student pass. While studying, you can only work 16 hours a week, which is 2 full days. Companies rarely entertain this request

Dislikes (Internships): There are internships but just the market in general isn't the best right now and for the career fair, only a few companies accept F1 students. Some students who have work experience have got very good internships all around the US and they provide good career guidance services so eventually everyone will definitely get a job.

Great university for aerospace and Indian students.
Tips: Cultural shock might initially be challenging but the large Indian student population at NC State makes it easy to make friends, which can help ease homesickness. Securing Resident Assistant (RA) or Teaching Assistant (TA) positions is quite competitive so plan accordingly. Finding part-time work is relatively easy; dining jobs offer $10 per hour with a maximum of 20 hours per week, which can cover living expenses if you share a room and budget carefully. Over time you may be able to move into a higher grade or departmental position which is less demanding and offers better pay. Scholarships for Indian nationals are scarce. The university is excellent with a good faculty, well structured coursework and strong research opportunities. Be prepared to dedicate yourself to your studies. The academic approach here differs significantly from Indian universities; cramming won't suffice for good grades. Plan your studies thoroughly
