Which one should be chosen: Great Lakes Chennai PGP or ISB Mohali PGP?
I will begin by clarifying that ISB is a single Institute with two campuses and not separate institutes. Anyone who has options for ISB and Great Lakes should go for ISB without any second thoughts.
ISB is better than Great Lakes in almost every aspect be it academics, reputation, faculty, research opportunities, and placement. If you don’t believe me, contact the alumni of both and you will realize the difference.
Which college is better, VESIT Mumbai or VIIT Pune?
-Choosing between VESIT Mumbai and VIIT Pune is a personal decision that depends on your individual preferences and priorities. Both colleges are reputed engineering colleges and have their own strengths and weaknesses.
VESIT Mumbai, affiliated to the University of Mumbai, offers undergraduate and postgraduate courses in various engineering fields. The college has a good reputation for its academics and a strong faculty team. It also has a decent campus infrastructure and placement opportunities.
On the other hand, VIIT Pune, affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University, is known for its excellent academic and research programs in the field of engineering. The college has a strong industry-academia interface, with tie-ups with various reputed companies for placements and internships. It also has a well-maintained campus and offers a range of extracurricular activities to its students.
The final decision between VESIT Mumbai and VIIT Pune should depend on your priorities, such as your preferred location, course offerings, faculty, campus infrastructure, and placement opportunities. It would be best to visit the colleges, speak to the faculty and students, and gather more information before making a decision.
Which school is better, MDI Gurgaon or IIM K, if I want to be an equity research analyst?
If you go to the official website and compare the placement reports, MDI Gurgaon fares better than IIM Kozhikode. Let’s have a look at the placement statistics of the 2 B Schools.
|
Particulars |
MDI |
IIM Kozhikode |
|
Number of Recruiters |
87 |

The best finance companies that offer roles like Equity Research Analyst roles, and Securities analysis visit both the B Schools. But the higher number of companies visiting MDI Gurgaon gives it a slight advantage over IIM Kozhikode. Yet I think both MDI Gurgaon and IIM-K are almost equal in terms of giving you the opportunity of getting an Equity Research Analyst role. If I was in your place I would have chosen MDI Gurgaon because of the following factors
- Location
- Infrastructure
- The industry-academia relationship
- Live Projects
- Guest Lectures
- Corporate Talks
- Peer learning
Which one is better for studying in Canada? York University or Humber college? (take into consideration Humber college is a lot cheaper in tuition fees)
As both are good colleges, there is no right answer to this question. Humber College ranks #20 and is among the Top 50 Research Colleges in Canada. It is also a lot cheaper if you compare a Humbler diploma and a York degree. If you are comparing equivalent credentials, there might not be a difference at all. A quick check online shows York's domestic undergrad fee to be $7,743. At Humber, a degree is $7,737.84. So tuition wise, there is not too much difference.
Humber College also provides 28 undergraduate courses whereas York university has a staggering 106. No. Of scholarships provided by Humber and York is 25 and 27 respectively.
As far as degrees are concerned, York would be better known as a degree-granting institution. However, others might value the more practical content of a degree from a community college (technically, Humber is now an Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning, but few people know that and still fewer could explain the significance).
Here’s a factual comparison between the two:
| Content | Humber College | York University |
| Average Attendance Cost | $12,924 | $24,312 |
| Acceptance Rate | 28.4% | 50.5% |
| Student Faculty Ratio | 98:1 | 37:1 |
| Exam Score(MIN) | IELTS-6 PTE-60 TOEFL-84 | GMAT-550 IELTS-6.5 TOEFL-80 |
Other factors would include the actual program to be studied (perhaps one is better than the other), the locations of the campuses, activities on campus, housing, etc.
After weighing all the pros and cons the student has to make the final decision. Keeping in mind your goals and what you want from your future you have to choose carefully and make the best of the option you choose.
Which one is better, XIMB or SCMHRD?
One of my seniors used to be a student of SCMHRD and he gave an analytical comparison between the two institutions.
|
Name of the institute |
Fees |
Average Placements |
Size of the batch |
|
SCMHRD |
15,45,000 INR |
Marketing: 14.70 LPA HR: 15.3 LPA |
240 (180 core+ 40 IM + 20 BA) |
|
XIMB |
18,70,000 INR |
13-18 LPA |
Above 400 |
In terms of location, SCMHRD is one step ahead of XIMB because the former is closer to Mumbai, the financial capital of India.
In spite of both institutes having an equally strong alumni network but as HR is the strong point of SCMHRD, it edges out XIMB in this regard as well. Marketing is also very strong in SCMHRD.
So, my senior recommended SCMHRD. Consulting is the forte of XIMB. However, both colleges are unique in their own ways.
Which is better, DU or IIM Indore?
If you are considering doing an undergraduate degree at DU or IIM Indore IPM course, then choosing DU will be better. DU courses are affordable. You will have options to explore after graduation. Delhi is definitely a better location compared to Indore. You can prepare for IIM A, B, and C after your graduation. DU and IIM ABC will offer you better placement opportunities.
Which is the best between NIT Rourkela, NIT Surat and NIT Jaipur in terms of placement?
NIT Rourkela is better than NIT Surat and NIT Jaipur. They have the best department, especially in mechanical Engineering. This institute offers quality education, guarantees 100% placement support, has well-qualified and experienced scholars, a rich alumni network, and a good infrastructure. In addition, they have an impressive course curriculum that touches all spheres of the field. Rourkela is one of the most flourishing industrial cities, which helps to widen your horizons.
So you can choose NIT Rourkela without any hesitation.
Is ECE better than CSE in NIT Rourkela?
I am yet to understand the blind passion people possess for the CSE branch including those who have no interest in the field whatsoever. Even if you have a passion for CSE, the NIT Rourkela is certainly not the right place to bring out your abilities in this field. The placements, undoubtedly, are excellent at par with some new IITs. bit NIT Rourkela lacks in other major aspects such as
- Highly underqualified professors. In fact, the majority of the CSE classes are conducted by teaching assistants of professors who have degrees from average engineering colleges.
- Professors have no fixed marking criteria and students face serious issues when marks are deducted unnecessarily.
- The curriculum is obsolete and does not meet industry standards. Students who are serious about academics have to take up MOOCs to learn additional things.
Irrespective of the branch you go for between CSE and ECE, you will witness similar job opportunities and success rates. Most students get placed in huge firms like Amazon, Microsoft, and Samsung. So, choosing the right branch in your case depends on your personal preference and interests.
Is IIM tag really important in the long run? I have a call from NITIE (PGDIM), IIM Shillong and MDI (HR and IB, PGDM is a little waitlisted). What should be my order of preference?
Let me strike off IIM Shillong from your list of preferences. This is because no matter how well it is doing, it can never compare to the older IIMs and the recruiting companies know that very well. Now let’s look at the other two options.
NITIE: This option is a feasible one only if you are interested in Operations. I won’t suggest it for any other domain.
MDI Gurgaon: From the alumni base to location advantage, this B School has it all. Now that you have chosen your college, let’s discuss the domain you will be choosing. I will suggest you go for HR only if you are seriously passionate about it. If you are confused between HR and Operations, the best option is the IM course. The PGP-IM of MDI, Gurgaon is the best International management course in India. Its USP is its generic nature making it possible for you to start your career in any domain like marketing, finance, Consulting, or product management.
