More credits/focus assigned to research. At least a third of the total credits for graduation were assigned for research which was my primary area of interest.
Course Curriculum
The course is very much updated according to the current industrial practices. There are many courses which involves projects which gets students a taste of industrial exposure.
Exams
GRE, IELTS/TOEFL. I did not give the GRE as it was not a requirement when I applied for Fall 2021. I scored a 8 band overall in IELTS.
Placement
There is a portal called Handshake specifically for Cornell students where we cand directly talk with recruiters which speeds up the process. Research is also excellent with outstanding computational and experimental facilities.
Internship
I haven't opted for any internship yet
Fees
$29,000 per year.
Scholarship
J.N. TATA Scholarship
Faculty
The faculty to student ratio for graduate classes are 1:10. They are well versed with the content and very much approachable. There are two professors whose teaching impacted me. Professor Thomas Avedisian and Professor Edwin Cowen.
Campus Life
Good news for students is that there is Wifi everywhere. Many sports clubs are there with me myself being a part of the badminton team. Research infrastructure is too good particularly the DeFrees hydraulic laboratory where I have conducted experiments.
Hostel
I stay in an apartment. Housing is but difficult to find as Ithaca is far away from the city. But if one plans in advance it shouldn't be a problem.
