How good is the Machine Learning course at IIIT Bangalore?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : October 10th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

The Machine Learning course by Upgrad and IIIT Bangalore extensively covers ML and AI. All the necessary topics, from Basic Mathematics and statistics to Deep Learning and Graphical Models, are included in this course. 

It isn’t a certificate program, rather you’ll earn a PG diploma. Unlike other MOOCs, this course demands serious effort from participants. It is a year-long rigorous course. Mathematics, SQL, and Python are well-taught to lay a strong foundation. The professors are well-experienced, and frequent live sessions are conducted for doubt-solving. 

Assignments are topic-relevant, and their submissions are taken seriously. The TAs are supportive. You’ll be assigned a mentor to help you with non-academic queries/issues. Frequent sessions are held with industry experts to equip students with information on the latest developments in the field. 

The assignment timeline is very rigid, and modules are released only on Sundays. So working professionals may suffer some inconvenience with this course.

Are AIIMS, PGIMER, and JIPMER overrated?

SS
Shridhar Sriraman Posted On : September 21st, 2023
Lives in Pondicherry, Puducherry, India

No, I don't think excellent medical colleges like AIIMS, PGIMER, and JIPMER are in any way overrated. They deserve the hype they receive. The patients consider JIPMER doctors as the human form of God. They trust them blindly and also respect them a lot. 

Apart from the highly experienced and educated doctors, JIPMER has some amazing facilities. Most of the departments are well-established with highly qualified doctors. The best department of JIPMER is said to be Pediatrics with the best doctor pool. 

As far as academics are concerned, the UG curriculum is well-organized. The students are taken to clinics regularly and are confident about their basic clinical skills. The best past us exposure to all sorts of cases from Male breast cancer to life-threatening emergencies and all kinds of surgeries and non-surgical cases. Recently JIPMER has started focusing on specialized surgeries in the Super Speciality departments.

The campus life is great and the hostel facilities are no less than 5-star hotels. Students are allotted single rooms and the campus is green and beautiful.

Considering everything, facilities, education, and campus life I feel JIPMER is not overrated at all.

AD
Anuraag Das Posted On : April 26th, 2023
Studied at MBA from NMIMS (2020)

Yes, NMIMS selects the best NMAT score for admission to its various management programs. NMAT (NMIMS Management Aptitude Test) is an entrance exam conducted by GMAC (Graduate Management Admission Council) for admission to various MBA and other management programs offered by NMIMS and other B-Schools in India.

NMIMS considers the candidate's best score out of the multiple attempts made in the NMAT exam for admission. The selection process for admission to NMIMS typically involves the following stages:

  1. NMAT Exam: The first stage is the NMAT exam, which is conducted over a period of 75 days in multiple slots. Candidates can take the exam up to three times, and the best of the three scores is considered for admission.
  2. Shortlisting: Based on the NMAT score, candidates are shortlisted for the next stage of the selection process. The shortlisting criteria may vary based on the program applied for and other factors such as academic background, work experience, etc.
  3. Group Discussion and Personal Interview: Shortlisted candidates are invited for a group discussion and personal interview, which is conducted to evaluate their communication skills, leadership potential, problem-solving abilities, and other relevant skills.
  4. Final Selection: Based on the performance in the NMAT exam, group discussion, and personal interview, the final selection is made for admission to NMIMS.

Therefore, if a candidate takes the NMAT exam multiple times, NMIMS will consider the best score out of the attempts made by the candidate for the purpose of shortlisting and admission.

What is the best option among: TAPMI, IFMR, Great Lakes Gurgaon 1 year PGPM?

ND
Nimitya Dutt Posted On : March 20th, 2023
Worked at the Great Lakes Institute of Management (India)

 Remember that the quality of education should be consistent across all institutions. Keep in mind that the MBA program emphasizes teamwork and a unique approach to learning that may differ from traditional education.

  • Consider the financial aspect of pursuing an MBA, as the return on investment (ROI) is crucial. If you plan to take out a loan to finance your education, keep in mind that a significant portion of your salary may go toward paying off your debt. Additionally, the average salary package may include variable pay, meaning you may receive less money than expected.
  • Think about the turnaround time for completing your degree. Some institutions, such as GLIM, offer a one-year PGPM course, which means you can start earning and paying bills sooner than those who opt for a longer program. This can also give you a head start in terms of gaining work experience and building your bank balance.
  • Consider the brand value of the institution you choose to attend. While brand value is important, particularly when seeking employment, it may not hold as much weight in the long term. Ultimately, your achievements and experience will be more important than where you earned your degree.

In the end, it's up to you to determine the best approach for your career. Keep in mind that the right balance of ROI, turnaround time, and brand value will depend on your personal circumstances. For example, if you have the financial means, ROI may not be a priority, while if you're just starting out, turnaround time may be more important than brand value.

Is SIBM Bangalore worth considering?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : July 26th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

As a professional who was looking to give a push to his career, I had the same doubts regarding SIBM Bangalore when I made it to the first shortlist of every Symbiosis MBA college except for SIBM Pune.

I scored only 70 percentile in my CAT and 90 percentile in my CMAT which were not good enough scores to get me a seat in a Tier 1 or 2 college. Fortunately, my SNAP score (94 percentile) was good enough to get me a call from Symbiosis colleges, most of which were Tier 2 MBA colleges.

SIBM Bangalore may not have a big campus, but, it provides you with innumerable opportunities. As a SIBM Bangalore student, you will undergo great personality development. There are various co-curricular activities that you can be a part of. 

You can join various clubs and committees or go for roles such as Bloomberg Champion or  Student Research Assistant. As a student, you will be at the center of all the college activities. 

SIBM Bangalore is an amazing place to grow as a person and become even more confident and active in grabbing the opportunities that come your way.
