DU SOL or IGNOU Which is better for BA General correspondence program?
IGNOU is better than DU SOL, for a BA General correspondence program. An IGNOU degree is better recognized in the country. You can get the online course materials easily from the official website. IGNOU has good lab facilities as well.
It conducts classes and examinations on time. You can get help from the faculties online regarding any course-related doubts.
I am interested in programming, algorithms, etc. So what will be good for me: IIIT-Allahabad IT or IIIT-Delhi CSE?
If you are given a choice between IIITA and IIITD, take admission in IIIT Delhi hands down. You will never regret it. IIIT Delhi has everything that a good IT institution needs i.e. Great faculty, excellent domestic and international placements, and an overall great experience.

IIIT DELHI
The cut-off for admission at IIITD ranges from 16694-28261. IIITD has a great set of faculty members and the curriculum is excellent.IIITD lacks diversity. With around 85% of the student community belonging to Delhi, it isn't catering to a pan-Indian audience. IIIT-Delhi students seemed frustrated with the workload and students are left with deadlines every single day and thus have no life out of academics.
IIIT Allahabad
The candidate must have cleared the JEE Mains. The cut off for admission at IIITA ranges from 1291-5330. IIITA has a great coding environment. Faculty is not up to the mark.
They both have a good curriculum but IIIT Delhi has so much more to offer. So If I were you, I would definitely choose IIITD.

How would you rank the following colleges: IEM Heritage Institute of Tech Kalyani and Jalpaiguri?
As I know some people from these institutes you mentioned above, it will be clearer to base their ideas upon the rankings on different factors.
In terms of Academic Credentials and Research works:
- Kalyani Government Engineering College will be my first choice. It is a Government-run College bestowed with some great Professors.
- Heritage Institute of Technology will be 2nd, as it also has some of the most influential professors. It is an autonomous institute.
- This will be followed by Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College.
- Finally, the Institute of Engineering and Management, as there have been reports of faculty shortage.
In terms of Social life and Co-curricular Activities:
- Heritage Institute of Technology tops this criteria.
- Whereas, Kalyani Government Engineering College is in the 2nd position.
- Followed by Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College and IEM.
In terms of Locational merits and Infrastructure,
- Heritage has one of the best infrastructures and is apparently only 10 mins from the major junction of Ruby Hospital or Desun Square.
- IEM also has established both the criteria really well, yet it somehow gets difficult for South Kolkata students.
- They are followed by Kalyani Government Engineering College and Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College.
In terms of Placement Scenario,
- Institute of Engineering and Management and Heritage Institute of Technology are the same in terms of their placement drives.
- Followed by Kalyani Government Engineering College and Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College
In terms of Affordability: (Fees, Accommodation, Miscellaneous Expenses)
- Kalyani Government Engineering College
- Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College
- Institute of Engineering and Management and finally,
- Heritage Institute of Technology
Hope this layer to layer breakdown has helped you gain some insight about the question you asked.
Which college is the best: College of Vocational Studies or Maitreyi College in Delhi University?
Both College of Vocational Studies and Maitreyi College are reputed colleges under DU. CVS is more known for its vocational studies, whereas Maitreyi is more known for its arts and commerce studies. The faculties at both colleges are quite good. If you are opting for Arts subjects, go to Maitreyi college. Before choosing any of these two institutes, you should talk to the current students and get to know their experience.
Which should I prefer: NIT Jalandhar ECE or NIT Hamirpur ECE?
Both NITs, NIT Jalandhar and NIT Hamirpur have similar rankings although NIT Jalandhar has a slight advantage in terms of location. Here are the key differences between these colleges
- Jalandhar has better connectivity than Hamirpur so it's easier for MNCs to reach college. NIT Hamirpur is also located in a secluded yet serene location away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
- NIT Hamirpur has better hostel facilities than NIT Jalandhar and many other NITs.
- Industrial exposure is more at NIT Jalandhar.
- Lastly, the comparison of the ECE branch placements at both the institutes is tabulated below

Which college should I choose between UIET Chandigarh and Thapar University for CSE?
To help you choose between UIET and Thapar University, here are a few comparisons-
- Infrastructure- The infrastructure of UIET is not good. Thapar University has a good infrastructure and you will really like it when you visit the institution. Also, do check the pictures of Thapar on instagram.
- Fees- The fees for Thapar University is extremely high. On the other hand, UIET fees are so affordable that you won’t even feel like you are paying college fees.
- Research- Panjab University is doing good in the area of research. But UIET in itself has not produced much output yet. On the other hand, Thapar excels in research quality. However, PU has a government funded innovation center and you may get an internship over there. This makes UIET also a good choice for a career in research.
- Brand Value- Panjab University is a big brand. However, its Engineering department is not as well recognized. Thapar is a well known engineering institution that has a high reputation in North India. It has a brand value at par with BITS and NITs.
- Alumni Network- UIET is new and has virtually no alumni network. Thapar is old enough and has a wide alumni network spread across various countries.
Thus, after considering various parameters, I would suggest you to opt for Thapar University for your CSE if its high fees is not an issue.
Which college is better? IBS or Athena school of management for PGDM course in Mumbai?
I would suggest you choose Athena over IBS. While both are in Mumbai, their teaching methods are very different. IBS emphasizes batch size, quantity (1000 students for the Mumbai college), a highly easygoing college life, and a curriculum with only one internship. Because there are no international internships or exchange programs, global exposure is not prioritized.
Athena focused on Corporate Connect, Quality of Intake (only 60 to 70 students), and a very demanding and busy education with many internships. There is a lot of foreign exposure with two overseas immersions and one international internship.
When it comes to jobs and placements, Athena has an average of 7.00 lacs each year and a large number of Pre Placement Offers. This means that all of their students receive jobs, with the exception of those who opt not to go through the placement procedure. IBS earns an average of 6-7 lacs a year, yet 200-250 students do not get jobs. This is a major issue when there are so many new students each year.
Which is better among IIIT Lucknow for CSE, NIT Allahabad and HBTI Kanpur for chemical engineering?
Go for the one which is nearer. Although, IIIT Lucknow is a fair enough option to consider for chemical engineering. All the above-mentioned colleges are national-level recognized colleges.
- The reason why IIIT Lucknow is slightly preferred over the others is because of its campus which is ever-growing and developing.
- The recruiters are always eyeing the campus and offering packages as high as 10 LPA, which makes it quite a welcome option for all the applicants and aspiring candidates.
- Moreover, the campus will help you to focus on extra-curricular and other curricular activities too apart from academics, thus paying a lot of attention to the overall growth of the personality holistically and not just scoring good grades.
- The multiple competitions and championships happening are always intended to prepare the students holistically.
You can go for HBTI Kanpur only when you have no other options of IITs or NITs. It is a state-level college and not as reputable as the others.
Which is better for CSE, ITS Engineering College, Greater Noida or NIET?
For CSE, NIET will be the better choice, among these. It has a brilliant CSE faculty. The professors have years of experience in their respective fields. For CSE, NIET placement has been great over the last few years. The average CTC for the branch is INR 3 LPA. Highest CTC goes up to INR 9 LPA. Students are recruited as Data Analysts, Data Managers, Data Scientists, and other similar positions.
