How is IIT Guwahati in comparison to IIT Roorkee and NIT Trichy?
According to me, IIT Roorkee and IIT Guwahati are better choices than NIT Trichy. My preference is based on several reasons-
- The learning experience at IIT Roorkee and IIT Guwahati is richer as compared to NIT Trichy.
- As an IITian, you get to know a greater number of opportunities.
- The research environment at IITs is richer and you will get involved in research work at an early stage of your undergraduate studies. Thus, if you are aiming for higher studies, IITs are a better option.
- Placements depend on your stream. However, IITs offer better placement opportunities overall.
- IITR and IITG have a larger alumni network to provide support and assistance.
The above points are especially true for IITR and IITG as they are amongst the oldest and most renowned IITs. NIT Trichy is a well-renowned and excellent institution, however, IITR and IITG are better according to me.

I got a call from IMT Ghaziabad for DCP. Is it good and are there any chances of it getting upgraded? Should I go for GIM?
IMT Ghaziabad DCP program is one of the best and most coveted among its students. My brother is currently a first-year student of the same and has a lot to say about the course through his experience. He joined the program only after in-depth research. What attracted him the most was the location of the program, Dubai, which is the hub of globalization. Some major highlights of the course are
- The curriculum is similar to that of the IMT Ghaziabad PGDM program but the additional international exposure is the cherry on the top.
- The program is taught by an elite faculty base comprising globally recognized professors. The foreign professors mainly hailing from France, the US, Slovenia, UK offer a broader insight into the international management aspects
- Right after the end of the First Term you are allotted Company Projects. You have to work in accordance with Dubai culture and will learn a lot about the field you are entering. You can do more than one such project also as that will broaden your network and knowledge.
- The marketing enthusiasts get to experience the splendid GITEX (Gulf Info Tech Exhibition). It’s an electronics trade show at the Dubai World Trade Centre that is held twice a year. It is a unique opportunity to gain Sales and Marketing experience.
- Recently the DCP students have made the name of the institution through international companies. Some major achievements include - 4 teams of DCP made it to the finals of the Global Management Challenge with 6 other UAE teams and one DCP team was 4th in the region; The DCP team under the mentorship of Dr. Zalzala won the Google Online Marketing Challenge (GOMC) in the Middle East and Africa.
- The internship and placement scenario is a bit confusing because in Dubai internships start in January whereas in India internships begin in August.
- The placements take place in India itself and DCP students are treated at par with the regular students. Despite this many companies offer better offers to DCP students mainly because of their widely gained exposure.
My brother's experience was amazing and he recommends it to anyone who wants to explore outside the box.
