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.

Practical learning experiences with room for improvement.
Tips: Before choosing to join NCI, know that it's career-focused, with helpful faculty but limited campus life. I didn't apply for any scholarships, but there are options if you apply early. I'm moderately satisfied with the course, the college, and living in Ireland.

College has a corporate tie-up for hackathons and events.
Tips: College has a corporate tie-up for hackathons and events - Citi UpStart. Empowering student entrepreneurship in collaboration with Citibank.

Industry-focused education with a supportive and diverse campus life.
Tips: Students should be prepared for an industry-focused and academically demanding environment. The transition was smooth with a positive cultural shift to independent learning and multicultural exposure. I am highly satisfied with the university course and studying in Ireland. I received a merit based scholarship offering partial fee support.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The lecturers demonstrate strong subject expertise industry relevance and a practical teaching approach along with their high accessibility and supportive nature. The departments industry focused methodology and internationally diverse faculty provide global perspectives and an inclusive real world learning environment.
