Should I do CSE core or CSE with specialization??? Im asking this cuz im little bit confused regarding the debate that only core isnt enough or go for core bcuz in india there is no good faculties for specialization other than iits..... What should i do???

pandeyadarsh951 18th Jan, 2022

There is no direct evidence that you will be disregarded somewhere if you do ot have a cse specialization degree yet if you such a degree than that is going to do just good to you and there will be no harm in core cse you are taught about everything in cse but within limits of each topic whereas in specialization you take up a subject where in you study deeper like AI cloud computing or data science although people with specialization are preferred but if you have appropriate coding skills then it hardly matters but yes if you get a chance to do a specialization degree then you should definitely go forward.

To pursue MBA/Masters abroad in top universities like ivy league or oxford does participation in college clubs/societies matter? should I join the debate, finance, and all the other possible societies or does that not matter?

Ayush 21st Jul, 2021

Hello candidate,

The top colleges in the world for Masters in Business Administration and Masters course including ivy league and others like Cambridge aur Oxford university's generally look for students who have a diversify their portfolio rather just focusing on their academic achievements.

Most of these colleges generally provide admission to those who have an active role in leadership skills sports participation any significant contribution to the society through social measures and a variety of other factors apart from his overall academic record. So it's better that you join a few clubs or societies so that it will add that extra value to your portfolio.
