2.>What are the employment prospects of the program.My background is bachelors in engineering.

3> What are the comparable programs in US and UK.

Please provide your insights on these questions.

Hi..,

I was expecting more constructive feedbacks.Waiting to hear from you guys.

Unfortunately, I don't know anyone on this forum who is familiar with schools in Toronto. Therefore, you won't get much of constructive response here. If I were you, I would consider one of New York schools. It's very important to be in the financial center to enter quant field.

You should contact current students, alumni and faculty at the program to answer your first two questions.

You can look at DISCUSSION on MFE programs (Formerly "Second-rate (and worse) MFE programs) - QuantNetwork - Financial Engineering Forum for info on lots of programs, as well as Quantnet Wiki for New York area programs.

What you do find could also be made into a wiki page for the benefit of future students.

If you are more interested in finance than FE, then programs like the one at Princeton ought to be looked at.
This community is all about FE and NYC so you will not get much feedback.
In general, you study where you want to work. UT grads find jobs mostly in Toronto. Some will end up else where but you face stiff competition with the local guys.
