There are certain factors that need to be considered while choosing the right college. The factors are:

1) Placement records/ROI– If you are particular about your placement and starting packages/salary, then tier 1 colleges provide good placement and package post graduation, but if you aren’t particular about it, then tier 2 or tier 3 colleges can be chosen. If the ROI is more in tier 1 colleges, then you should definitely go for that only.

2) Brand value– If colleges are to be recognised based on their brand value, then tier 1 colleges have more recognition and brand value as compared to tier 2 or 3 colleges, as tier 1 colleges open doors for opportunities that tier 2 or 3 colleges can’t. A degree from a tier 1 colleges is more valuable than that of a tier 2 or 3 colleges.

3) Cost Consideration – If the cost or the finance is the issue, and the course of tier 2 or 3 colleges is fulfilling, then go for tier 2 or tier 3 college only, if the course is not that fulfilling, then one must go for a loan and instead go for a better course in tier 1 colleges itself.

Both sides, and all of the above factors need to be considered and then the college with the most promising and affordable course( if that’s the issue) be chosen wisely.
