@abhinav
So if you ask me, whether answering this in one word, I will ask you a cross-question, what is your criteria for any university? Because Edgers MITA and Stevens MIS are 2 totally different courses but they have the same location but different face cut. SO when you are deciding the university you will need to have a set of criteria on which you can rely. It’s all about knowing that particular university, so if you ask me I would definitely recommend someone you could stay with you but that would not be the case with you because Stevens is a bit costly but they might offer some courses which you like. I will recommend that instead of asking someone for the recommendation, ask for the criteria and try to make your own criteria.

@Maheshwari

Hi Maheswari, first of all, no, not at all, we don’t need, there is actually no prerequisite to get into an MiS program. MIS is all about IT and business and the beauty of this course is that they teach you everything from scratch. They have some prerequisite courses that need to be done as it is specific to the courses. You can do them if you have not done them. So that’s it, MIS is quite an open course and anyone can do it.

@abhipshita
I shall generalize the answer so that it can help a lot of people. So when you are going to take admission into any course, it doesn’t matter, if we are going to MS, MIS or MBA. It doesn’t matter how many attempts of any exam it doesn’t matter. The universities don’t get to know how many times you have actually given the exams. It’s like when you have set a score, the university gets to know the score and not the past records.
