Based on the reviews and feedback from students and alumni, here's what we've found:

* Placements: While some students have had successful placements, others haven't been as lucky. According to one student, "Only 20% of students get jobs, and only management is playing with the future of students." However, another student mentioned that "about 50% of the students got placed" with salaries ranging from INR1.28 Lacs to INR3.6 Lacs per annum.
* Infrastructure: Some students have praised the campus infrastructure, mentioning that the hostels are "lush green and cool," with "best facilities" and a "good mess." Others have criticized the lack of basic amenities, such as a canteen on campus, clean washrooms, and inadequate library resources (e.g., limited book lending period).
* Faculty: Most students have expressed positive views about the faculty, describing them as "helpful," "well-qualified," and "knowledgeable." One student even mentioned that the professors are experienced and willing to help students resolve issues.
* Course Curriculum: Some students have suggested that the course curriculum is outdated and needs to be updated. Another student noted that the exams are relatively easy, but that doesn't necessarily translate to real-world relevance.
* Internships: Although placements may be limited, students can still pursue internships through the summer internship program.

Overall, while M.Sc. at NMU may not be perfect, it seems that certain areas, such as faculty and infrastructure, receive praise from students. However, concerns about placement rates and outdated curriculum remain. Ultimately, the decision to choose M.Sc. at NMU depends on individual priorities and expectations.
