At IILM University, Gurugram, networking opportunities for students are embedded throughout the academic and co-curricular journey — here's how:

• The university maintains a global alumni network of over 16,000 members, which students can tap into for mentorship, referrals, and industry insights. 

• It hosts regular guest lectures, workshops, and round tables with domain experts, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders — offering students direct exposure and chances to engage in meaningful conversations beyond class.

• Through industry partnerships and live projects, students work alongside companies, which naturally creates contacts with professionals who can become part of their network. 
  
  Student clubs and incubator initiatives provide informal but powerful networking platforms — for example, the university's Innovation Lab connects students with mentors, startup founders, and ecosystem enablers.

If you're aiming for MTech/ME in CSE or Cybersecurity, several universities accept non-CSE branches and your CGPA gives you a strong chance. Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham offers M.Tech in Cyber Security with eligibility from BTech/BE in various related fields.  JK Lakshmipat University (Jaipur) has programmes in Cybersecurity & Blockchain among its CSE specialisations.  NorthCap University, Gurugram, offers M.Tech CSE – Cyber Security & Forensics with hands-on learning. D. Y. Patil International University also has an M.Tech in Cyber Security for BTech grads.  Reva University is another option.  Make sure to check if the university accepts “other engineering branches” for CSE Cybersecurity and if GATE score or entrance-exam is needed.
