What to check before you commit
- The college, not just the course. 400 colleges run this degree, and they are not interchangeable — teaching, recruiters and fees all differ sharply.
- The specialisation you will be admitted into. Most colleges now allot it at admission rather than in the second year.
- The entrance route and its calendar. Work backwards from the exam date, not forwards from the application deadline.
- The all-in cost. Tuition plus hostel and living, minus any waiver you qualify for.
- What the batch actually earns. Ask for the median and the placed percentage, not the highest offer.
