I am a student at SRM, so I will tell you particularly about my university.

SRM is a highly-graded university with experienced faculty, rich academics, and a good campus life. My experience of SRM has been quite pleasant up till now. You’ll learn a lot at this place, and develop excellent communication skills. You’ll be given good projects. 

This university has a highly diverse population and a multidisciplinary approach to studies. It has a good reputation and a decent placement record. IT and CSE students get on-campus placements for sure. However, for Aerospace, only 1 or 2 companies visit the campus with job offers. Companies like Byjus and Jaro Education offer around 13 LPA and are open to all engineering branches. 

I would personally recommend SRM for your studies as it offers an all-around development with decent placements.

NMIMS Mumbai is a better option among these, especially for Finance specialization. Located in Mumbai, the Finance capital of the country, it offers huge locational advantages. Many big names in the Industry take part in NMIMS Mumbai placements. Infosys, Accenture, Aditya Birla Capital, etc. took part in the 2022 placement drive. The average CTC offered to students this year was INR 19.40 LPA. 

NMIMS focuses on hands-on learning. Various learning resources offered by the institute includes Bloomberg labs, access to a huge repository of market data and e-journals, WeCare internship program, etc. 

Although NMIMS has a large alumni base, in terms of facilities, and exposure, it is better than IIFT Kolkata. 

Indira Pune is not the best choice for an MCA degree. So I wouldn’t comment about it in my answer. 

MIT Pune offers good academics, and VIT Pune is known for its placements and ranking. MIT offers an MCA in Management, whereas VIT offers an MCA in Engineering. MCA in management includes subjects such as Business, Finance, Cost Accounting, etc. MCA in engineering revolves around engineering subjects. 

If you have an interest in this degree, join VIT. But if you are simply seeking a job in the Banking/Finance sector, choose MIT. 

I would personally recommend you join VIT Pune. It is an autonomous college and its syllabus is regularly updated. But you must make a choice based on your preference. 

No matter what anyone says, NIT Silchar has a brand name that Nirma University does not. It’s quite an old institute so its alumni base is also strong and the placement scenario is quite promising.

NIT Silchar has decent placements for the ECE, CSE, and Mechanical branches. It also has the biggest digital Library in South East Asia.

In all both institutes seem promising so go for the branch that aligns with your preferences. 

I can speak with certainty that PGDM at LBSIM is a far better option than PGDM in Financial services at IMI Delhi. My brother is a recent pass out from LBSIM and the following highlight of the institute are based on his personal experiences 

• The IIRF ranks LBSIM 25th among private colleges
• It has a spectacular ROI in terms of placements and fees
• LBSIM is famous for its student culture
• You can get an insight into various angles of the industry you will be dealing with in the future 
• You can avail an abundance of opportunities through live projects and get to have a detailed experience in your specialization.
• The institute prioritizes a practical approach over theoretical knowledge through academic activities outside the classroom
• Various academic and non-academic clubs make the environment a friendly one 
• The institute boasts of a 100% placement record
• It has an elaborate alumni network that is spread across top companies like Big Four’s, Arcesium, Marsh & Mclennan, Asian Paints, Crisil
• LBSIM collaborates with various international universities for its student exchange program. Some of them include Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, Northern Illinois University, USA, European Higher School of Economics and Management, Bulgaria etc.
• A unique feature of the B School is its Bloomberg Terminal which is restricted to the top B Schools like IIM B, IIM C, and FMS only.

All these points clearly state that LBSIM is a very good choice for a PGDM program.

Both the universities, GIM and NMIMS are reputed in the field of Management education. But since you don't have NMIMS Mumbai as an option, you might give it a second thought.

When it comes to NMIMS Bangalore, GIM is a much older player in the field of PGDM. Even if we see the rankings, GIM is considered in the top 20 to 30 including IIM in the list. They have experienced faculty, very decent placement records, and a very strong alumni base.

So I would suggest not running after an umbrella institute under the NMIMS brand name and rather going for GIM.

Both Metallurgical Engineering and Chemical Engineering at VSSUT are relatively new. Here are a few points of difference based on some common aspects 

• Scope: As a Metallurgical student, you can work in any metal industry after graduation. Another option is pursuing higher studies like M.Tech or MS from IITs. This branch has immense scope outside India. Chemical engineers are highly sought after because every industry needs to hire chemical engineers for pollution control and waste matter management. So in terms of scope, Chemical Engineering is better
• Academics: The metallurgical department at VSSUT has inexperienced but enthusiastic professors. Students are offered seven internship facilities from various NITs, IITs, and National Laboratories. The quality of faculty is similar in Chemical Engineering too.
• Placements: During its year of commencement, Metallurgy passed out with around 96% placement making it the highest in core branches. Students of this branch were recruited by companies like Vedanta Resources, Hindalco, Bhushan Steel, and Adhunik Metals. Chemical Engineering is a new branch so its placements are still lacking.

In all, both branches offer decent opportunities with chemistry offering slightly better opportunities as compared to metallurgy. This is because it's open to a wider range of companies and this branch has great scope abroad.
