I know that there are university rankings and department rankings, but I’ve heard a lot of people say xyz university is better for Networking or abc is better for VLSI. What are these people basing it on? Research going on at these universities or job opportunities or courses offered? How many attention should one pay to these things if it’s at some place like Cornell or Northwestern or UCLA?
