If the course curriculum caters to your need and fits in your selection criteria, then you can proceed.
Besides, you should consider parameters such as Faculty, Course Material, Quality Education, Fees, Accreditation, Infrastructure and Placements that define a good and reputed institute.
And for best results, I may suggest you to personally visit the institute and interact with the existing batches and also try reaching alumni for clear and transparent review.
The course content, your own expertise and your performance in the interview assures you a good job.
