Rutgers University Rankings 2025: World Rankings, Subject-Wise Rankings and Miscellaneous Rankings

• From what I’ve seen in my batch and from talking to seniors, I'd say around 70–80% of students in the MSCS program at Rutgers find jobs within 6 months of graduating. The average salary range is usually between $90K and $120K, depending on the role and previous experience. Most of us don’t rely on campus placements since Rutgers doesn’t have a very strong setup for that, so people usually get jobs through internships, LinkedIn, referrals, or just cold applying online.
• A lot of my batchmates got roles like Software Engineer, Data Engineer, or Cloud Engineer at companies like Amazon, Bloomberg, JP Morgan, Meta (mostly internships), and even a few startups. Some bigger names like Google, Microsoft, and IBM have hired Rutgers grads too, but it really depends on your own effort, networking, and how well you’ve prepared.

• Found accommodation by asking seniors, and we also found reviews from Apartments.com and Zillow.com. Monthly base rent for our flat is 3175, trash is 20, the admin fee is $35, and the sewer fee and water fee are around 60 dollars, respectively. My share is around 640-650, depending on other utilities. Facilities include, Concierge Service, Package Management, Dry Cleaning Partnership & Groceries Refrigeration, Onsite Management & Maintenance Team, Workspace Lounge, Printer Access and Starbucks Coffee Self-Serve, 24-Hour Fitness Center & Tonal, Dry-Saunas, Yoga Studio & Cycling Studio with Peloton, Resort-Style Pool, Outdoor Grills, Dog Run, Expansive Resident Lounge w/ Media Room, Work from Home Lounge & Private Events Space, EV Charging Stations, Private Parking Garage w/ Assigned Parking, Butterfly MX Video Intercom & Controlled Access.
• I didn't face any issues while finding the accommodation. I highly recommend Renaissance Plaza Square apartments to future students. The nearest bus stop is a 5-minute walk from the apartment building. It's like a 15-minute drive to the college campus. Indian students generally live here because it's near downtown.

• The us market is in recession and jobs aren’t very easy to get. Specially for international students because of legal visa reasons but Rutgers tries there best to get us some exposure through career fairs etc. there are a bunch of big companies that come to campus including JNJ.
• Average salary range could be 60k-80k and a bunch of my friends got hired after months of applying.

• I stayed off campus because on campus accommodation is very expensive. I found accommodation through a Facebook group.
• The accommodation was in a very bad state when I got there so I had to clean everything up and it was a bit of a struggle. Finding accommodation was hard too because of scammers.
• I would recommend not paying out until you’re sure about the authenticity of the renter. 

• Getting a full-time job is not at all easy. The brutal truth is it is exceptionally difficult for international students. Employers think about students on F1 status working for 3 years and leaving the company.
• They think about investing in such students, because sponsoring them for H1B is really expensive.
• Salaries usually range between 50-60K $ for entry level students per annum. Constantly applying and networking is only way to get jobs.

• I connected with people through LinkedIn and spoke to a few people for accommodation leads. After conducting some field research, I gave them my preferred location and renting limit.
• Initially, it was very challenging to get an accommodation since I wasn't getting frequent replies. I joined WhatsApp groups to receive regular housing advertisements, which helped quite a bit. I finally got a recommendation through a friend I reached out to through LinkedIn for a place to stay.

There is no such situation. Students have to find their own employment. Career fairs are where companies tell you what opportunities they have, but campus interviews are not like that.

I chose it for the unique program of Master of Business and Science. It has courses in both technical and business domains.

The size of the school was one of the big reasons. I like having a really large school to live and work on. The school is also really well known so getting jobs after would be very convenient. They also have good internship opportunities.

They gave me a scholarship.
