Most PGD programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means programming, data structures and algorithms, databases, operating systems, computer networks and software engineering, with a steady diet of lab work and projects. Typical first jobs: software developer, full-stack engineer, QA engineer or systems analyst.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask Disha College for the current semester-wise plan.

• Are you genuinely interested in programming? You will spend 1 year on it.
• What will the full course cost, including hostel and living costs?
• What do recent graduates of this course actually go on to do?
• How does Disha College compare with other colleges offering PGD?
