  1. Dear Sir,

    Thank you for providing information on post graduate courses. M. Sc. and PG diploma in Advanced Computer Science are seem to be two usual post graduate courses. Do they get sufficient students for other PG diploma courses? We would like to know whether a M Sc student has an opportunity to work on a research project. Could you give some information on the employment opportunity of a M Sc as well as a PG diploma graduate.
