My choice of university was predominantly influenced the department research output and because I wanted to work with a particular supervisor in that department
Course Curriculum
Course syllabus is extremely rigorous and well rounded. The syllabus is updated and clearly is shaped to accomodate newer research. Also takes into consideration the background of the subject.
Faculty
The faculty is very approachable and have made the virtual learning process very smooth as well.
Placement
Most departments have 90% placement. Internships are regular and successfully turn into PPOs. On campus placement drives are offered but many students also opt for off campus interviews.

Exams
IELTS: My Score 8.5, Minimum Score Required 7; GRE not required; Instead of IELTS TOEFL Score may be provided
Events
Library has a very good collection in my subject. It gives remote access to other leading libraries in the world, across various countries. Clubs are active. Student council is also very upbeat and functional.
Fees
For PhD it is $ 27,000 CAD but with scholarship it can go down considerably and sometimes it's fully funded.
Scholarship
Scholarship for International Students. No separate applications required, evaluations are doing by the admission committee.
