I wish to pursue a career in the information security domain.
Getting a TOP NIT’s info security seat seems to be highly improbable with above marks. So this means I can get into a low ranked NITs which are equal to the top state universities as per what I have read.
Question 1.
Which one is better VJTI-Mumbai or COEP pune vs Average level NIT?
VJTI offers Mtech NIMS course that has Info. Security Modules. I liked the overall course structure and also this college is close to my house.The placements are good with many product companies visiting the college.
Question 2.
CCMT begins in mid april and the state universities application process begins in mid july.
Can I reserve seat in CCMT and then try for the state universities, and If I get the state university opt to leave the NIT seat? How much money would I lose this way.
Any other suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks.
