Modernization and urge for survival in the global job market has made the young generation students to think deeply before they choose the post high school educational institution. The final decision is made by considering the impact of the institution in job market, location, ambience, internalization and opportunities given to students other than the course content. Only after this, they look in to choosing the major branch of study. Top institutions in India have made a great impact among students in carrying out their thoughts and realizing their dreams.
