    You can pick an OS between Windows or Ubuntu. As majority of Indian colleges operate on Windows, there are few colleges which operates on Ubuntu. I haven't seen any college operating on Mac.

    It would be better to go for Windows as most of the systems in the organisations are based on Windows OS. Mac is used very rarely. For personal purpose one can go for Mac. Windows is preferably the option to go for if one chooses for learning purpose. Windows is easier to handle than Mac.

Both Conestoga & McMaster are considered among the best institutions in the region. However, both these universities are selective to varying degrees at granting admissions to students. Therefore, interested candidates must perform really well in academics as well as university entrance exams to have the best possible chance of admission.

The Conestoga College acceptance rate stands at around 85%, while that of McMaster University is around 59%. It can be inferred that McMaster is relatively more selective than Conestoga College.
