Why do you say so

A D · Answer

Hi Aditya,
Course curriculum should be the main priority upto a certain point. Well... it kind of depends on what the goals of the applicants are. If the goal of the applicant is work in a startup or unicorn, i would say that it's better to choose location. If it's companies like MAANG(formerly called as FAANG), then go for the university brand/curriculum instead of location. I would say that if you have a university in the top 100 for your program or a university which is not in the top 100 but the university's alumni network is as good as the top 100, then location doesn't matter. If the applicant didn't get into a good university for his program, then i would suggest to go for a university in a major city (logic of why people migrate from ritual to urban area since ages). 
Now a days, the course curriculum is more or less the same in every university for the non thesis program. I  have personally compared the course catalog of many universities. Most subjects are the same. Ofcourse there are a few exceptions but these exceptions can be found in everything.
