M.Sc. in Cyber Security and Forensics - Batch of 2026

Offered by Gujarat University

3Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

Gujarat University Cyber Security and digital forensics. Great experience and scope.

Placements: The department does not provide placement services. They do offer letters of recommendation and contacts for jobs and internships. Given the high demand for cyber security professionals, we were able to find employment based on my skills and qualifications.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the department is very good. There are smart boards and projectors in every classroom. Wi-Fi is provided, and the drinking water is filtered and cooled. There is an elevator, which is technically for staff but students can use it. There are labs and clean washrooms. Overall, the infrastructure is excellent.

Faculty: The teachers are very knowledgeable and friendly, and they are very approachable and helpful. However, most of the faculty are research scholars who don't have a degree in education. They have less teaching experience, but they are very good in the field and have a great deal of knowledge. They try their best to make sure that we understand the material. The exams are medium to tough, and it is easy to pass but not easy to score very well. As a result, most students pass easily.

Other: Cyber security and digital forensics is a growing feild. As the technology grow one needs to grow their security too and the scope for job and vacancies is also very high. And extracurricular is also good with all the sport activities, yoga, and fests and functions.

Is it worth to pursue Cyber security in Gujarat University?

Placements: There are not much placements provided aur sometimes it can be none. You can either look for the company which tie up with your department for the placement aur find placements by on your own.

Other: This is an integrated course in cyber security. The reason behind choosing this course was that there are many opportunities in cyber security as it is an evolving field and has many opportunities in career.
