It is a good university if you want to study engineering but I dislike that they don�t help you with inservice after completion, and that you can�t graduate without doing it. I would recommend it to people who are sure they will get jobs after completion because you can stay at home with the same qualification. All in all it is a good university especially the practical part of the course.
Great place to study. a four years honors degree. The courses are heavy weight, containing both tech aspects and covering management areas. Include a compulsory industry internship in the third year.
My experience with administration processes at Mangosuthu University of Technology is very bad. Most of the administration staff are incompetent and have too little or no knowledge about steps required to successfully enroll students.
