How good is MSU Baroda for computer science education in terms of education and placement?
MSU Baroda is really good in terms of both education and placement as compared to other Gujarati colleges.
Education
The workload here is minimal and the no minimum attendance rule makes it easier for students to prepare for other competing exams or work part-time.
Computer Science students are taught
- C++
- Java
- .net
- Python
The pedagogy for Java and DBMS is really good. Anyone who attends the lectures finds it easier to grab the concepts.
Placements
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
- Oracle
- Infocus
- Infosys
- Tcs
- Wipro
- Growex
- Cognizant
- Oneadvanced
The demand in the IT field surged so much after 2021 that product based companies too now recruit from tier 3 colleges.
The only drawback you will face here regarding placements is that the faculty does not help you in placements like other colleges. The entire process is handled by the placement coordinator and students itself.
Which is better: chemical engineering at LDCE or MSU Baroda?
Let’s do a basic comparison between the two universities first.
Accreditation: MSU is an autonomous university whereas LDCE comes under ACPC
Infrastructure: MSU has an upper hand in this aspect as its infrastructure is way better than LDCE.
Marking pattern: MSU follows a very tough marking scheme and therefore makes it difficult for students to get good CGPAs.
Placements: The placements of both universities are equally good. I have tabulated the placement statistics below to draw a clearer comparison.

At LDCE offers were made from industries like Oil, Gas, Power, Fertilizer, IT sector, Automobile, Chemical, Petrochemical, etc.
Personally, I feel overall MSU is a better option. It has some additional features that set it apart from LDCE. These include
- Much better hostel facilities than LDCE
- 3 major technological and social events are held every year that boost your extracurricular activities.
- The faculty at MSU is top notch with great learned and experienced professors.
So Chemical Engineering at MSU Baroda is a better option.
How is the placement scenario like in MSU Baroda for an MCA student?
One of my uncles was a Placement Coordinator at MSU in 2017. He told me the placement scenario for MCA at MSU is pretty good. In fact, some students even receive more than one offer. This is because companies who came for the placement drive for the Computer Science department preferred the MCA students to sit for the placement as well.
The placement statistics of MCA at MSU are as follows
Students placed: 40
Highest package: INR 4 LPA
Popular recruiters: Standard Radiators Pvt. Ltd., Caparo India Pvt. Ltd., Nayara Energy

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.
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.
How do I get admitted into the ME production program in MSU, Baroda via my GATE score?
You can get admitted into the ME production program at MSU through ACPC Gujarat.
Application time: After the CCMT process is almost complete
Gate score: of 500+ is required for opening.
Seats: 9-25
Eligibility: Passed Graduation in engineering and Technology from a recognized university.
During the first 2 semesters at MSU lectures and written exams are conducted. The Second year is for the dissertation. You can do your project from anywhere in India. Some students even do their projects in private companies like NAL, and ISRO. The first semester is monotonous as everything in the curriculum has already been taught in BE. The second year has some more additions. Generally, GATE candidates are given 8 hrs load per week. To increase your profile, at MSU, attend seminars, workshops, and conferences. The overall workload is less so you can work part-time or prepare for any other exam. The faculties are very cooperative and will help you throughout. The only drawback is that the placement opportunities are limited like any other institute.
