Life at National college of Ireland.
Tips: We can expect a practical, industry-focused environment and diverse students. I adapted quickly despite a small cultural shift. I received a merit scholarship with tuition support. I'm very much satisfied with course, college as well as the life in Ireland.
Likes (Indian Food): There are many Indian restaurants nearby the campus. All those are budget friendly with great food and good ambiance. I would mostly prefer to cook myself because it save money and as I'm a chef it will be easy for me to cook myself. I can get all the groceries in less than 100euros per month.

Good for Masters in IT Courses because you will complete masters in one year.
Tips: You won't feel major cultural shift once you came here because students will share accommodation with indians and in part-time jobs as well there will be one or two indians doing part-time job there. Scholarships will completely depends on the college if they like student profile they will offer scholarships, there are some government bodies in india those will also offer scholarships or less interest on the education loan, coming to my college experience it is good all lectures are welcoming and ready to help and my course is bit tough because we have pen and paper exams only for my course rest all courses have assignments and projects. If you have good skills and experience students can get good opportunities and weather is not that good here.
Likes (Indian Food): In Ireland, you've got maybe five or six main types of Indian spots that cover the usual veg and non-veg stuff. To be honest it’s a bit of a hit or miss situation as you might find one place with a great curry but their other dishes are just okay. No single spot really nails the whole menu. Thankfully there’s actually plenty of Indian grocery stores around here these days, so you can pretty much find all the right spices and stuff to just cook everything yourself at home anyway.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Job searching is hard here after a master's. If a candidate has 5-plus years of experience, then chances of getting a job are somewhat good; otherwise, it's tough to get a job. If a candidate doesn't have any prior experience, it's better not to choose Ireland. Most of the companies are not ready to sponsor. If a candidate got a good package, they can do self-sponsorship only if the company is willing to give a proof-of-work letter.

Gateway to come and stay in ireland
Tips: There will be little nervousness after coming here. Later it will be as usual, like in India, after a few months; for me, I felt nothing bad till now. There will be some default scholarships for every student based on the marks in earlier courses. It's not the best I can say, but overall it's okay to study here and stay in Ireland.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is the best in Dublin City. There are many transportation options to reach anywhere in Ireland from Dublin. There are trains, buses, Luas cycles, etc. Public transportation can be many ways, covering many areas in Dublin's city center to multiple parts.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships are less in number and have a huge competition. It's very better to apply before start of going college as it's takes almost 8-10 months of application process, so when already graduated, they no longer consider for internships. Student must be in college while joining internships.

Great place to learn and network.
Tips: Students can know everything from the college website. If students are looking for budget education, then this college is the right place. If they have money, they can prefer universities otherwise, this college is a great place.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Now it is tough to get placed easily. If you have the right skills, you need to try and work hard for the job in semester 1. In 1G, you need to get placed in a good company and try to get the critical skills visa. Then you can apply for stamp 4.

Diverse environment and good learning experience.
Tips: Students should be prepared for independent learning and active participation. Dublin can be expensive, so plan finance well. The environment is diverse and welcoming and adapting to a new culture and academic style may take time. Overall a positive experience.
Dislikes (Internships): Because while there is support from the college, a lot of the responsibility falls on the students to find opportunities themselves. The career services team shares openings and conducts workshops on CV writing and interviews. Some internships are relevant to the course especially in business, computing and data related fields, but securing one depends heavily on individual effort and networking.
