how is NJIT for MS in Cs? My GPA is on the lower end and I have no work experience. Will I get admission?

Hi @He-man,

The university has a mediocre Computer Science department. The cost of your education from NJIT might not compare to the experience you will gain. You should consider other universities before you settle or finalize NJIT. However, I would advise you to gain some work experience to compensate for the low GPA. Get a 320+ score in GRE, and an equally good score in TOEFL/IELTS. If you can, enroll in some short courses to further upskill and get into a top university.
Hope this helps!

Hi @jasmeet,

Many students reviews reflect that Rutgers is a better choice. Though, it also depends on the course and the program you are targeting. Please mention the same so that I can provide a more detailed answer.
