My friend is a pass out of MSU and she claims Hansa Mehta hall to be one of the best hostels. Some hostel facilities include

Housing and food are extremely affordable for anyone. Hostel fees are around Rs.7000 yearly.
Every hostel has its own mess and canteen. Food quality is average but provided at a very nominal price.
Hostel rooms are good, well-ventilated, and spacious.
You will be sharing the room with 4 other girls. Despite that, you will have your own bed, cupboard, table, chair, and other facilities.
Rooms are cleaned by the maids every alternative day so you don't have to worry about hygiene at all.
Each wing has 20 rooms and 5 common toilets and bathrooms. The condition of the bathrooms is average.
The hostel has a 24/7 wi-fi facility.
The location of the hostel is what makes it the most convenient one. Located in the center of the city it is surrounded by the railway station, bus station, mall, and local market. So you don't have to spend much money and time on transportation.

All these facilities make it the cheapest, safest, and best option for girls.

I live in Vadodara. Which is better MSU or DDU Nadiad for computers?

Chirag Dey,

22 Oct 21

One of my friends studied in DDU and after gathering some information online, I can give you a proper comparison. Analyzing this you will be able to make your decision.

DDU has an edge over MSU, when comparing CSE departments.
MSU's programming events at their annual technical festival, FootPrints, was also disappointing.
They use outdated equipment in their labs and the overall competition was not as good as DDU.

The Computer Engineering course of DDU has programming languages and technologies early on in the 4 year duration and core CS theory subjects after, unlike MSU.
Java is taught in DDU in the 3rd sem but in MSU, it comes in the 6th.
Web technologies are introduced in DDU in the 4th sem unlike MSU .If you choose DDU, expect lots of exams and strict rules.
FootPrints at MSU happen at a much larger scale than DDU's Felicific.
The DDU schedule will keep you busy and focussing less on extracurricular activities.
MSU hostels have received a lot of student complaints. In comparison, DDU's hostel is more comforting.

Categories	DDU	MSU
Course Fee	INR 6.08 lakh	INR 6,000
Highest CTC	10 LPA	8 LPA
Average CTC	6 LPA	3.5 LPA
Recruiting Companies	TCS, Infosys, Crest Data Systems, etc.	TCS, Wipro, Infosys, etc.

It is suggested that you go for DDU instead of MSU. But finally it is your choice. Choose the one that meets your needs and requirements, as it will be easier to blend in.

How is MSU Baroda for girls?

Hemant Pandey

29 Dec 22

MSU Baroda is a decent college for girls. All the departments have many girls. Some faculties like Home Science are predominantly all girls. The faculty of Commerce which is the largest faculty at MSU has a separate unit for only girls.

The best feature of MSU is that although a girl student can get admission to another co-ed unit of the faculty, they also have the option to study in a girls-only unit. Hence MSU is perfectly safe for girls.

In fact, to keep girls in the limelight in all areas, the post of vice president in student union elections is reserved for girls only.

What are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at MSU Baroda?

Swastika Joshi

22 Dec 21

One of my friends recently graduated from MSU Baroda. Let me share some of the points she mentioned about the college, which might also help go through your first year of college.

The faculty of MSU are highly skilled and experienced in their respective fields.
It will take some time to get used to the culture and the overall environment. If you are fluent in Hindi or Gujrati, adjusting here will be no problem.
It will take time to get used to the daily food also as they have their unique way of preparing them which is quite different in every other state.
The weather here is quite humid, if you are used to dry weather and extreme winters it could take some time adjusting.
MSU as a university is a very open and independently cultured place. You will have the complete freedom to explore the place and build your personality as well.
Many events are also held in the campus which brings everyone together. These include DJ nights, Navratri celebrations, and sponsored events.
The day of the exams are hectic and teachers prefer their students to mug up information rather than actually understanding it.

Overall it is a really nice place. In your first year you will get to interact with lots of students and will also have enough time to explore the place. After your first year the pressure of the studies increases so, it is suggested that you explore most during your first year.
