The Maharaja Sayajirao University (MSU) of Baroda is a decent university. It depends what you want to study and all the departments will not be equally ranked. I ready somewhere (cannot provide reference) that it ranks among the top 10 universities for arts in India. Its engineering branch, though not highly ranked, is also pretty good especially in Gujarat. Many of my friends studied engineering there and are currently doing very good in their professions. Good companies, including multi-nationals, recruit from MSU. My friends got placed in Cognizant and other IT companies. One of them went on to do M.Tech at IIT-Bombay after B.Tech from MSU. Studies-wise, the grading system was tough. The highest percentage would be in low 80's, no CGPA system as of 2007. But I heard the teachers are very knowledgeable. If the question has been asked from a perspective of ranking so that one can make a decision on which college to attend, I would definitely give it a good rating. Baroda is a very good city to live, has a good cultural history, good schools for kids and also has heavy industries for job prospects. I do not know how the current situation is at MSU (my experience is from '00-'07), but I believe institutions take a long time to change. The university is very old, but many times that is a positive factor about educational institutions. Of course, my bias is towards MSU although I did not study there myself, but because I like the city of Vadodara.

The Bachelor of Computer Science or Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (abbreviated Computer Science or BCS or BS CS or B.Sc CS is a type of Bachelor's degree, usually awarded after three or four years of collegiate study computer Science, but possibly awarded in fewer years depending on factors such as an institution's course requirements and academic calendar. In some cases it can be awarded in five years. In general, computer Science degree programs emphasize the mathematical and theoretical foundations of computing. [1]
The same core curriculum may, depending on the school, result in other degrees, including:
Bachelor of Arts BA in Computer Science Bachelor of Applied Science (Basic) in Computer Science Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering (B.Tech) Bachelor of Science in Information Technology Bachelor of Mathematics in Computer Science Bachelor of Engineering (Being or BE) in Computer Science Bachelor of Computing in Computer Science Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Computer Science) - BSE (CS) Bachelor of Computer Security in Computer Science Bachelor of Science B.Sc or BS) in Computer Science B.Sc CS or BSCS or B.Sc (Computer)
In many post-secondary institutions, an Honors Bachelor of Computer Science degree has been introduced as an upgrade to the regular Bachelor's programme and usually requires at least one additional year of study.
