Employers in my field include many research institutions.
The admission process was extremely seamless due to the online platform. After applying, an interview round was conducted with panellists asking technical and general questions for motivation for the course. No consultant was hired as the process was completely straightforward.

- There is nothing really to be honest, everything I mentioned as an international student, one should know it's not cakewalk to grow and reach our goals
Placement
Since Siemens, Adidas, Puma and Schaeffler headquarters are located in and around it is easy to get placed by being consistent and with effort.
I chose this university as it one of the top universities and I found the course I wanted. From all the perspectives, the university is very nice, the place where the university is located is filled with so many opportunities if one utilizes it properly.
