Is ISB better than IIM Ahmedabad for someone wanting a career in product management in India?

RS
Rachit Sengupta Posted On : April 12th, 2023
studied at Indian School of Business

If you're considering pursuing a career in product management, it's important to choose the right business school that offers the best program and opportunities for this field. While both ISB and IIMs are well-known institutions for management education in India, there are some key differences to consider when it comes to their product management programs.

Here are some factors to keep in mind:

  • Product management is not a top preference at IIMs: Unlike some other business schools, product management is not a major focus at the IIMs. As a result, there are relatively fewer opportunities for students to learn about and pursue careers in this field. While some IIMs do offer product management courses, these are often not as comprehensive or specialized as the programs offered by other schools.
  • Limited recruitment for product management roles at IIMs: Due to the relatively lower focus on product management, not many companies that recruit from IIMs offer roles in this field. This means that even if you do take up a product management course at an IIM, you may find it difficult to secure a relevant job after graduation.
  • ISB offers a better program for product management: On the other hand, it has a well-regarded program for product management. The school offers a specialization in product management as part of its PGPM which covers a range of topics such as product strategy, marketing, and innovation. 
  • More opportunities for product management roles at ISB: Because of its strong program for product management, ISB attracts a lot of recruiters from companies looking to hire for roles in this field. This means that you are more likely to find relevant job opportunities after completing your degree at ISB, compared to IIMs.
  • IIMs are better for finance roles: While ISB may be the better choice for product management if you're interested in pursuing finance roles across private equity (PE), venture capital (VC), investment banks, or hedge funds, then IIMs are still the way to go. These schools have a strong reputation for finance education, and many top companies in these fields recruit heavily from IIMs.

If you're set on pursuing a career in product management, and you have a choice between ISB and IIMs, then ISB may be the better option. However, if you're open to other fields such as finance, then IIMs still have a lot to offer.

Which is preferable for CS, CSE, and IT, IIITDM-Kancheepuram, IIIT Sri City, or IIIT Guwahati?

RD
Rakesh Das Posted On : March 30th, 2021
Indian Institute of Information Technology, Guwahati

IIITDM Kancheepuram is an institute of national importance and it has an advantage over the other two institutes as both the institutes are IIITGs in PPP Mode. The bill to declare PPP mode as institutes of national importance is still pending in parliament. 

Here are a few pieces of information about the CSE/IT in the campuses mentioned in the question. 

IIIT Guwahati:

The institute started in the year 2013 and has a strong CS department with a good number of experienced faculties. 

  • Prof Gautam Barua who is the director of the CS department at IIIT Guwahati was also the director of IIT Guwahati from 2003-13. With his immense experience, he aims to build the department strong. 
  • Coming on to the curriculum of CSE/IT, it is well designed to suit the growing need of the industry. The intent here is to complete all the core subjects in the first 6 semesters so that students can choose the type of industry they want to get into. Like in the 4th semester, there is a subject called Computer Network which is generally a subject of 5/6th semester in other institutes. 
  • In the CS department, IIIT Guwahati has come up with the Ph.D. program as well. 
  • There are many advantages to join IIIT Guwahati but only a single disadvantage is there i.e. Location. But if you love to travel and nature, Guwahati is a place for you. 

IIIT Sri City: 

  • The number of faculties at IIIT Sri City is nearly half as compared to IIIT Guwahati. 
  • They also have MS and Ph.D. programs which indicates that they are also very active with regard to research. 
  • They are being mentored by Prof. UB Desai who is also the director of IIT Hyderabad and a pioneer in System and Network Research in India. 

Both the colleges have their advantages and disadvantages. You have to analyze which is better for you to pursue B.Tech in CSE/IT as per your parameters. Good luck.

B.Tech from Delhi Technological University

As a third year student of MCE at DTU, I can only tell you about my college and branch-

  1. The curriculum of MCE is a mixture of Mathematics, Computer Science and Finance.
  2. This branch will equip you for a career in three fields.
  3. The focus is more on Mathematics, but CS is an important part.
  4. MCE offers good placements. Graduates get job offers from top brands like Amazon, Flipkart, etc. MCE gives competition to well-established branches like CoE, IT, SE, etc. in this aspect.
  5. DTU is a well-recognized institution with a strong alumni network. More than 250 companies visit the campus every year during the placement season.

How would people compare a 4 year B.Tech in CSE vs a 5 year B.Tech+M.Tech (dual-degree) in CS at NIT-Rourkela?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 17th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

There are common misconceptions and doubts in the minds of students and their parents regarding dual degree programs. People think that low rankers generally opt for a dual degree and placements are not good for DD programs.There is a common fear that dual degree students are neglected by the administration. It is believed to be better to opt for your M.Tech from an IIT. Most people end up choosing B.Tech instead of a dual degree, even if NIT Rourkela or some other top NIT/ IIT is offering this program.

However, here are some facts to erase these doubts and fears from your mind regarding a dual degree from NIT Rourkela, or any other institution-

  1. Even as a Ph.D./M.Tech student, you will have plenty of placement opportunities. You might even get a better offer than a B.Tech candidate if you possess a better skill set.
  2. Getting into an IIT for M.Tech is quite tough because clearing GATE/GRE with a good rank is a challenging task. 
  3. An integrated course will save you a year which you can use to develop your managerial or other skills/ to acquire experience. The IIT tag is important, however, with the right skill set and plenty of experience at your back, people won’t really bother about your college tag.
  4. Well-established IITs and R&D firms prefer dual degree holders.

Thus, you should definitely go for a dual degree at NIT Rourkela instead of harboring useless doubts and fears about your choice.

Completed M.A. in English from Calcutta University in 2020

Calcutta University offers some of the best education possible in the country. It consistently maintains an admirable ranking among the top universities in India. 

  • Your CV can get a big boost if you opt for the University of Calcutta.
  • There are other institutes in Kolkata that are just as good as CU such as Presidency University, Jadavpur University St. Xavier’s College (Autonomous). Keep an eye on them as well and do not restrict yourself only to CU. 
  • Engage yourselves in the various activities that will take place wherever you end up getting admission. 
  • The more proactive you are, the more your resume will attract potential employers.

Vidyasagar University has more expertise in tribal culture and literature. It is not the focus of urban academics. Keep in mind that the marking scheme of the University of Calcutta is very rigid.
