Conclusion
After completing my 4 year degree, I have came to the conclusion that learning is more important that anything. So no matter which institute you join, you will only get a job if you are a hard working person. Depending completely on the institute is not the best approach. Meanwhile, every institute has its pros and cons, so you should always look for the one who suits you by looking at the fee structures, institute value and everything.
