Do not choose IISc Bangalore for Cyber Security courses if you wish to work in the industry and not go for research. IISc does not offer a specialized course that is customized for security professionals.
Instead of looking for Cyber Security courses at IISc Bangalore, you should go for the Amritapuri Campus of Amrita University. It is one of the best places in India for you to learn Cyber Security. My brother did his Master’s degree in Cybersecurity Systems and Networks from there.
You will learn practical implementation over there. All the courses are taught completely in English so you won’t suffer due to the language barrier.
Apart from the regular topics like Network Security, Wireless Security, Cryptography, and Digital Forensics, you will also learn topics outside of the curriculum, like Web Exploitation, Binary Exploitation, etc.
The placement scenario is decent and both private companies and government sectors offer decent packages to the students. Government officials recruit students and take them for live projects. You should choose Amrita University, Amritapuri Campus, and pursue a Masters’ in CyberSecurity from there to get a good start in this field. IISc Bangalore is not the right choice for a career in Cyber Security.
Personally, I feel VIT Vellore is a much better option than DSCE. Except for its location, VIT Vellore has an upper hand in almost all aspects be it infrastructure or placements. However, if you are not getting a branch of your choice at VIT Vellore or you are getting a less preferred branch, then DSCE can be considered. But if you are getting CS, ISE, ECE, and EEE at VIT Vellore then it should be given a preference to DSCE. Considering specific parameters
Overall, VIT Vellore seems a more promising choice than DSCE although the difference seems to be very slight.
Yes, I do have an opinion regarding the same. This course is the most unprofessional and unreliable course I have come across. People who are looking for better job opportunities need to stay away from this course. This is because the course offers everything but job assistance. You cannot depend on this course and expect offers from companies after completing the program. The brochure provided initially, the various job opportunities are mentioned which is quite misleading.
The course is conducted by the IIM Raipur faculty itself. UpTop has not much connection with the students at all. People join this course eager to switch domains or change jobs. But this course fails to help in any of this. The course is just a source of making free money and misleading people. So if you or anyone you know is going for this course, please stop them before they fall into the pit.
