Is MSU Baroda good for a BBA, or should I go for other options?
Your decision actually depends on the fact if you want to pursue BBA or you want to study at MSU. This is because if your sole interest is in BBA then trust me there are many better colleges for it. But if you are adamant about studying at MSU, then it’s better you search for your own interests.
I will recommend you take the aptitude test which is free in the psychology department. This test will let you decide what to study. Don’t be a part of the herd and pursue what others are pursuing. Rather follow your own interest that you will not regret later.
Which is better for computer engineering LD or MSU or DDU nadiad? Like environment in class rooms and placement.
After doing some research online about these colleges, I found out that mostly students prefer DDU. It would be better in all the ways from campus to placements.
- The campus of DDU is very good. The infrastructure is well developed.
- All the required facilities are provided and they are fully functional.
- The labs are well maintained.
- The teaching faculty is very good and much better than LD and MSU.
- The academic curriculum at DDU is better than LD and MSU.
- Companies such as Infosys, GSFC, Reliance, Wipro visit for hiring.
You may also want to know that why they do not prefer LD:
- It is a Government institute and it comes under Gujarat Technological University. The exams are conducted at odd timings.
- The schedule is not followed well and vacations are not given at the proper time.
- The students do not get time to learn anything or do internships.
- The labs are poorly maintained and not functional.
- The teaching faculties are not good and supportive. Students have to do self study.
- The only advantage of studying at LD is that it gets a good number of companies as it comes under GTU. Companies such as TCS, Accenture, Cybage, Persistence, HSBC, elite core, Wipro, matrix visits for hiring.
The students passing out from DDU have more skills and knowledge compared to other students. So, overall, DDU would be a better option.

At MSU Baroda a maximum of 2 ATKT is allowed at the end of the year. If you have more than 2 ATKT, you will have to repeat the year. If you have any ATKT from the first year pending, after 2nd year, you won’t be able to continue to 3rd year. You need to clear the pending ATKTs to enter 3rd year.

How good is MSU Baroda for computer science education in terms of education and placement?
MSU Baroda is really good in terms of both education and placement as compared to other Gujarati colleges.
Education
The workload here is minimal and the no minimum attendance rule makes it easier for students to prepare for other competing exams or work part-time.
Computer Science students are taught
- C++
- Java
- .net
- Python
The pedagogy for Java and DBMS is really good. Anyone who attends the lectures finds it easier to grab the concepts.
Placements
Mostly companies like TCS, INFOSYS, TECH-M, COGNI, and L&T INFO-TECH, visit M.S University during the beginning of the final semester. These Indian Companies offer around 2.9 LPA to 3.5 LPA including variable components.
Apart from this, AMDOCS visits MSU. They offer 4.2 LPA and it is one of the best companies to begin your career with.
Google once visited MSY for placement in 2008.
Some lesser-known companies like Matrix, Investis, etc. also visit the campus for recruitment. They generally offer around 2.5 LPA to 3.0 LPA. Some companies that visited the campus this year are

The demand in the IT field surged so much after 2021 that product based companies too now recruit from tier 3 colleges.
The only drawback you will face here regarding placements is that the faculty does not help you in placements like other colleges. The entire process is handled by the placement coordinator and students itself.

Let’s do a basic comparison between the two universities first.
Accreditation: MSU is an autonomous university whereas LDCE comes under ACPC
Infrastructure: MSU has an upper hand in this aspect as its infrastructure is way better than LDCE.
Marking pattern: MSU follows a very tough marking scheme and therefore makes it difficult for students to get good CGPAs.
