Pros

No pros, they only have cons.

Cons

1. They have made education as a money making business. 2. The worst Laureate school I have ever seen. 3. They take students careers for granted and give unrecognized degrees which are not accepted in India. UG from NTU is not accepted in India. 4. The career growth is zero unless you are ready for some licking.
