I gathered information about my college through the Collège website as well as through other students who are already enrolled. I also searched through online platforms such as quora and collegedunia.
I have chosen this college because after my graduation from BSC in Maths, I wished to study abroad and there is a variety of courses with very good teachers so I have chosen this college.
I chose these two colleges as they have very good management, highly skilled professors, labs with cutting-edge technology, and industry-defined, modern, and practical based programs.
