Whether one institution is better than the other is purely based on the discretion of an individual. A conclusion must be drawn keeping other factors such as faculty, academic quality, personal disposition and expectations in mind as well.
Is IIM Calcutta better than IIM A for Finance majors?
It is, indeed. By far.
Whether you want a tech role, a front-end IB role, a PE/VC role, trading, algo trading, a hedge fund or quant role, a risk manager or a financial regulator role, or even a research career in finance, IIM C is by far India's best offering. It has a cutting-edge Finance Research and Trading Laboratory, multiple terminals throughout the campus and the laboratory, the largest annual research output by PhDs in India, and much more.
In terms of both absolute placement rates and batch percentage, IIM C has the highest placement rates in India's finance industry.
Can you please set the preference order for the following MBA colleges: IBS-Hyderabad, IMT-Nagpur, XIME-Banglore, Welingkar-Mumbai, Bimtech-Noida?
Honestly speaking all the B Schools you mentioned are just glamorous brand names with no real value. The placement scenario is very pathetic here as the companies that visit are looking for students who can work at fewer salaries. Only the extremely meritorious students get good packages and that too is rare.
So I will suggest that if you have scored 95+ in CAT, then you are capable of more. So work hard and target a better B School next year. Remove these colleges from your list of options and attempt CAT again.
If you are not very sure about attempting CAT again then prepare yourself for a package as low as 5-6 LPA.

Which is better: DAIICT, IIIT Allahbad, or SVNIT (surat NIT)?
As a student of SVNIT, I can only shed light on my college.
- Placements- The placements for B.Tech CSE are decent at SVNIT. It is a fact however, that no college can guarantee 100% placements, and a lot will depend on your knowledge and skill set.
During 2022, 94 students of B.Tech CSE, out of 106 registered students, were successfully placed from the campus. 44 LPA was the highest package offered, the average package was 15.22 LPA, and the lowest package was 5.56 LPA.

The campus is huge and lush green, and you’ll see many peacocks roaming around. The campus is located in the center of Surat city, in a posh locality, and everything is easily accessible in the area. There are plenty of hangout spots near the campus.
- Faculty and Hostels- The faculty of Computer Science department is good. The hostels are pretty good. SVNIT has some of the best hostels among the NITs and IITs. The hostel area, canteen, library and departments have LAN connectivity and Wifi facility, and there’s no usage limit.
- National Recognition- SVNIT is an Institute of National Importance. It is well recognized in the entire country. But I am not sure if SVNIT is internationally recognized.
SVNIT is a good college for B.Tech CSE. You can definitely consider it for your engineering studies.
Which is a good college, VIT Pune or SGGS Nanded?
VIT Pune is a much better choice than SGGS. I have a friend in SGGS who shared its pros and cons that might help you make a better decision.
Pros
- It is an autonomous college so enjoys freedom in everything.
- Drishti's official magazine is a great portal.
- It has a very supportive Innovation Cell.
- The robotics club has earned a great rank in robocon.
- VIT Pune has some very talented coders, web developers, and database engineers.
Cons
- It charges hefty fees for facilities like bus, wifi, and Boat Club.
- Underqualified and inexperienced faculty.
- The campus life is being and the fests conducted are held at a very poor level.
I will suggest you join VIT Pune as it seems to offer better opportunities and exposure than SGGS.
Which is better IT in IIIT Allahabad or Industrial Chemistry in IIT BHU or Civil in new IIT?
Choosing streams like Industrial Chemistry can be tricky. Generally, students don’t even understand the scope of the basic courses, let alone a specialized course like chemistry. Don’t go for such a course if you are not well-informed about the career prospect.
If you are interested in civil engineering then don't waste time and apply to the new IITs. It is difficult to decide whether you are interested in a particular field. To find out you can get in contact with Civil Engineering graduates from good universities. Ask about their nature of work and growth in the field, etc. See if that sparks your interest. Also, you will have the option to go for GATE and appear in IES.
