Which IIM is the best between IIM Calcutta and IIM Lucknow?

NG
Nishika Goel Posted On : December 1st, 2022
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (Graduated 2018)

To begin with, when comparing two IIMs, the question is which is better, not which is the best.

The answer to this question is, of course, subjective.

  • IIM Calcutta is a more established institution than IIM Lucknow, and it consistently receives higher rankings. As a result, according to any layman or literate man, it will be better than IIM Lucknow.

  • IIM C is superior in terms of finance specialization and placements. IIM L is superior in terms of marketing specialization and placements.

  • IIM C is calm, whereas IIM L is frenetic.

  • IIM C fees are significantly higher than IIM L fees.

  • IIM C has a high percentage of engineers who go there, whereas IIM L has a wide range of academic disciplines.

  • IIM C Has more alums than IIM L. This is also a significant feature of how old the college is.

Which is better, Kirori Mal College or Hansraj College?

SR

Studied at Kirori Mal College, Delhi University

 Kirorimal College and Hansraj College cannot be compared. Both colleges are the best in their respective fields. Only by the department can we make comparisons. Because some subjects have a low cut-off in KMC but a high cut-off in Hansraj, and vice versa. However, in the same week, Hansraj has two days off (Saturday and Sunday) and the same KMC has one day off (Sunday).

In terms of college campuses, KMC has a larger campus than Hansraj college. Both colleges have a fantastic infrastructure. Both have a library, a canteen, a lawn, a seminar room, and a hostel.

Why does everyone prefer to do an MBBS at Seth GS rather than GMC Mumbai?

AG
Akriti Gupta Posted On : October 4th, 2023
lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

The sole reason many medical aspirants choose Seth GS for MBBS over GMC Mumbai is the quality of education it offers which places it somewhat higher than GMC. 

Grant Medical College is indeed a well-known medical college but not yet at par with KEM at least in terms of academics. KEM welcomes the best student crowd and churns out many great doctors. 

Seth GS on the other hand is at the same level as the top medical colleges of India, AIIMS and JIPMER in terms of academics. However, it’s yet to match its level of infrastructure, clinical exposure, and research opportunities.

Grant is known to have very old infrastructure, with issues related to internal politics and corruption. However, most ranking magazines place GMC over Seth GS thereby misleading many.

So always consider all the aspects before choosing your college.

Which is better if one is planning to apply for an MBA/PGDM from IIMs after graduation: ECE and/or CSE at NIT Durgapur, or IT at Jadavpur University? Why?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : September 8th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

Let me share with you some important details about these courses/institutes-

  1. NIT Durgapur is a residential campus so you’ll get ample exposure during your undergraduate studies. On the other hand, JU doesn’t even offer IT on its main campus.
  2. NIT DGP is an Institute of National Importance. This makes it more significant on a national level.
  3. NIT Durgapur is seeing a growing number of recruitments in its CSE branch. Startups visit the campus with interesting offers for CSE students.
  4. The student community of NIT Durgapur is more diverse.
  5. NIT DGP has no political interference. JU, on the other hand, is heavily influenced by state politics.
  6. In terms of extracurricular activities, JU is a better choice.
  7. The CSE/ECE departments of NIT DGP lack good infrastructure, have inconsistent course structure and content, and have a low teacher-student ratio. These departments lack quality research work.
  8. Phd.s in the CSE department of NIT Dgp are low in number.
  9. But NIT DGP carries the much-valued ‘NIT’ tag.

That being said, I feel you are at a very early stage of narrowing down your goals and aspirations to this extent. Enter your UG with an open mind, and an aim for self-discovery. Right now, you have a picture in mind of doing an MBA. But I don’t think you have a proper idea of the different specializations in this degree. 

You should have made a clear decision by the end of your 3rd year. Before that, pursue internships and discover your field of interest. Right now, look for the institute that will offer you the best technical education and the best future prospects.

Which is better, CSE at Thapar University or CSE at Chandigarh University?

KP
Kirti Patel Posted On : November 29th, 2022
Btech in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (Graduated 2021)

Except for BITS Pilani, CSE at Thapar is far superior to any other university.

Chandigarh University does not offer better placements or opportunities. It's all just public relations to boost the college's image.

Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, on the other hand, is one of India's most prestigious and best engineering institutes. In the NIRF Government of India rankings, Thapar Institute of Engineering And Technology was ranked 23rd. For the last six years, the placement rate has been consistently higher than 90%. A total of 361 recruiters took part, recruiting 1622 students. Students were offered the highest package of INR 40 LPA, while the average package was INR 10.97 LPA.

Thapar University accepts students based on their JEE scores.

In spite of its lower ranking, why has VMMC been occupied first compared to KGMU?

Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : September 30th, 2023

VMMC attracts a major crowd of NEET toppers. It is the most chosen college after MAMC. There are several reasons why many people choose VMMC over KGMU.

Mandatory rural service is the biggest disadvantage of KGMU. Those planning for a PG/superspeciality especially find this service period unnecessary and time-consuming. Moreover, VMMC is located in Delhi. This makes it more favorable. Though I personally feel Lucknow offers almost every facility. Internal PG reservation also works in the favor of VMMC. 

KGMU is ranked much higher than VMMC. The education at KGMU is much better too. Despite this, VMMC is preferred because of the above reasons.

Which is better placement-wise in the BITS: Goa or Thapar?

IP
Ishita Paul Posted On : August 2nd, 2021
M.Sc. + B.E Biological Science & Civil Engineering, Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (2020)

BITS Pilani Goa campus is obviously a much bigger brand than Thapar University. So you will definitely get better placement opportunities at the BITS Pilani Goa campus rather than Thapar University.

Take a look at some of the statistics of Thapar University for the year 2019-20.

Companies visiting 264
Total students placed 971
Total offers received 996
Number of single offers 946
Number of multiple offers 25

BITS Pilani does not release an official placement report. However, according to my friends at the institute, the average CTC offered at the institute is 5 LPA and the highest CTC offered is INR 1.4 crores.

Which is better CSE at Walchand college of engineering, Sangli or VIT Pune CSE?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : October 13th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

As opposed to the preconceived notion, not every college in Pune is visited by the best companies. In fact, good companies can go to a great college even if it’s located in the middle of nowhere. That being said, WCE Sani is a better choice than VIT Pune in terms of the opportunities it offers. 

  • Placement: WCE has many big IT giants visiting the campus for placements. 
  • Club Activity: WCE has an active club life with many Technical & Non- Technical clubs. These clubs ensure the holistic development of the students
  • Senior-Junior Interaction: Juniors receive constant guidance from seniors throughout their college life and there is a healthy relationship between them. 
  • Campus: WCE's infrastructure may not be at par with other private colleges but it has a big well-maintained campus spread over 90 acres with full greenery in it.

Hope this helps you!
