Master of Science in Information Science - Batch of 2025

4.3

Diverse student life.

Tips: There is definitely a cultural shift; some students do feel homesick. Personally, I made friends quite quickly and they became my family from home. The main transition would be fewer books, more online PDFs to read from. A very practical approach to studying, rather than the wrote system, and simply giving exams.

Likes (Student Life): I had 1-3 classes a day, then club meetings and a part-time job as an undergraduate tutor. I hosted bootcmaps and staff meeting academic clubs for engineering and consulting. I have also hosted social events and helped with events like Thon. There are both social and academic clubs, covering almost all hobbies and important subjects and job areas, like the book club, coffee club, Financial consultant club, engineering consultant, Physics research clubs.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are a lot of companies that offer sponsorship but finding a job in your field with less experience is difficult. There are multiple rejections because of visa status. Full-time offers are less but the pay is quite decent and above average for starting out.

Bachelor of Science in Finance - Batch of 2028

5.0

The faculty is knowledgeable, approachable, and supportive.

Tips: Before joining college, students should know how to manage time, be independent, and stay organised. It’s important to stay open to new experiences, build good study habits, and seek help when needed. Embrace learning and personal growth. And they should inquire about food and academic standards. We can participate in various events, which help us in our growth. Student life is vibrant and engaging, filled with diverse activities, clubs, and events.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): The faculty create a positive learning environment, encourage student participation, and are always ready to help with doubts. Their dedication greatly enhances the educational experience. I can also add that the faculty was able to clearly teach the topic, and they were good, so I was able to understand it very quickly, and they were also very friendly.
