Candidate’s Response:

Dear Deepak,

I am writing to share my experience with the course I took at the University of Mumbai, which you are considering.

The course I took was a comprehensive program on C#, a programming language that is highly sought after in the job market. It was particularly valuable because it was entirely practical, providing hands-on experience essential for managing real-world projects. The course was intensive, requiring daily attendance, but it was worthwhile as it enabled me to quickly acquire the skills needed to complete my project successfully.

I highly recommend the University of Mumbai for this course because it is renowned for its modern facilities and experienced professors who offer invaluable guidance on project implementation.

To apply for this course, you need to send your CV to the Department of Computer Science via email. You can find the email address on the university’s website, https://mu.ac.in/. When choosing your schedule, I suggest opting for morning classes as they are less crowded compared to the evening sessions.

Please let me know if you decide to apply. I would be happy to hear about your decision.

Best regards,
