How is MSU Baroda for girls?
MSU Baroda is a decent college for girls. All the departments have many girls. Some faculties like Home Science are predominantly all girls. The faculty of Commerce which is the largest faculty at MSU has a separate unit for only girls.
The best feature of MSU is that although a girl student can get admission to another co-ed unit of the faculty, they also have the option to study in a girls-only unit. Hence MSU is perfectly safe for girls.
In fact, to keep girls in the limelight in all areas, the post of vice president in student union elections is reserved for girls only.
What are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at MSU Baroda?
One of my friends recently graduated from MSU Baroda. Let me share some of the points she mentioned about the college, which might also help go through your first year of college.
- The faculty of MSU are highly skilled and experienced in their respective fields.
- It will take some time to get used to the culture and the overall environment. If you are fluent in Hindi or Gujrati, adjusting here will be no problem.
- It will take time to get used to the daily food also as they have their unique way of preparing them which is quite different in every other state.
- The weather here is quite humid, if you are used to dry weather and extreme winters it could take some time adjusting.
- MSU as a university is a very open and independently cultured place. You will have the complete freedom to explore the place and build your personality as well.
- Many events are also held in the campus which brings everyone together. These include DJ nights, Navratri celebrations, and sponsored events.
- The day of the exams are hectic and teachers prefer their students to mug up information rather than actually understanding it.
Overall it is a really nice place. In your first year you will get to interact with lots of students and will also have enough time to explore the place. After your first year the pressure of the studies increases so, it is suggested that you explore most during your first year.
I have complete my 12th from nios board can I get admission in this university for B. Com or BCA program or I have to give entrance exam?
Candidates who want to pursue BCA from MSU Baroda can apply online with the required information. Eligible candidates need to appear for the entrance test conducted by the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda. Admission is based on the marks obtained in the entrance test.
Admission to the B. Com (Honors) is done on the basis of the merit of the aggregate marks secured by students in 12th (H.S.S.C.) Examination.
So, B.Com does not require any specific entrance exam while BCA does.
Is MSU Baroda good for a BBA, or should I go for other options?
Your decision actually depends on the fact if you want to pursue BBA or you want to study at MSU. This is because if your sole interest is in BBA then trust me there are many better colleges for it. But if you are adamant about studying at MSU, then it’s better you search for your own interests.
I will recommend you take the aptitude test which is free in the psychology department. This test will let you decide what to study. Don’t be a part of the herd and pursue what others are pursuing. Rather follow your own interest that you will not regret later.
Which is better for computer engineering LD or MSU or DDU nadiad? Like environment in class rooms and placement.
After doing some research online about these colleges, I found out that mostly students prefer DDU. It would be better in all the ways from campus to placements.
- The campus of DDU is very good. The infrastructure is well developed.
- All the required facilities are provided and they are fully functional.
- The labs are well maintained.
- The teaching faculty is very good and much better than LD and MSU.
- The academic curriculum at DDU is better than LD and MSU.
- Companies such as Infosys, GSFC, Reliance, Wipro visit for hiring.
You may also want to know that why they do not prefer LD:
- It is a Government institute and it comes under Gujarat Technological University. The exams are conducted at odd timings.
- The schedule is not followed well and vacations are not given at the proper time.
- The students do not get time to learn anything or do internships.
- The labs are poorly maintained and not functional.
- The teaching faculties are not good and supportive. Students have to do self study.
- The only advantage of studying at LD is that it gets a good number of companies as it comes under GTU. Companies such as TCS, Accenture, Cybage, Persistence, HSBC, elite core, Wipro, matrix visits for hiring.
The students passing out from DDU have more skills and knowledge compared to other students. So, overall, DDU would be a better option.

Mostly companies like TCS, INFOSYS, TECH-M, COGNI, and L&T INFO-TECH, visit M.S University during the beginning of the final semester. These Indian Companies offer around 2.9 LPA to 3.5 LPA including variable components.
Apart from this, AMDOCS visits MSU. They offer 4.2 LPA and it is one of the best companies to begin your career with.
Google once visited MSY for placement in 2008.
Some lesser-known companies like Matrix, Investis, etc. also visit the campus for recruitment. They generally offer around 2.5 LPA to 3.0 LPA. Some companies that visited the campus this year are
