I have friends in all the 3 NITs and here are some points that I concluded while having a conversation with them
Hope you make a wise decision after considering all the points.
MSc in Mathematics syllabus is designed in such a way that it focuses entirely on pure mathematical concepts and analysis. It is the backbone of core mathematics which is a stepping stone for the advanced level of research at the doctorate stage. Data Structures and Algorithms, and Theory of Computation are compulsory subjects along with r CS electives such as Database Management Systems, Parallel Programming, and Distributed Computing, The course is somewhat inclined towards computing.
A few other courses covered under this program are as follows:
MSc Mathematics Computing / MSc Applied Mathematics at IIT Guwahati covers courses like
This program focuses mostly on solving problems arising in various branches of Engineering, Economics, Business, and Finance. It also deals with developing algorithms to perform high-order calculations and deals with statistical computation too.
Since the introduction of statistical software like R, SAS and MATLAB, Python, SAGEMATH, and High Order Clusters, Mathematical Computations have improved due to high speed and calculations on large data.
I know someone whose father is a director at OP Jindal Global Business School. However, he wasn’t delighted with the B School’s performance and kept changing schools. OPJGBS initially began its Law courses at Sonepat. It later added many more courses. The B School is away from the crowded NCR and has a big campus. So this school is a good option for you only if you live in and around NCR and have no other option. You also need to have enough financial resources as the fees of the B School are pretty high.
ISB Hyderabad on the other hand has an established reputation of being one of the oldest B Schools in India. It has a far better standing and worth than OPJGBS and should definitely be preferred over the latter. However one can say that ISB Hyderabad has lost its original charm owing to the increasing batch size and lack of vision.
All of these AIIMS are on equal levels with one another. Infrastructure, faculty, and facilities are remarkably similar, so don't undercut any of them. So, excluding these, make your decision based on personal factors.
Remember that it is a common misconception that Raipur is unsafe and least developed. AIIMS Raipur is a wonderful institute that none of you regret attending. They have also achieved some outstanding results in PG. So give it some thought and join any of the institutes you want.
When it comes to Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) programs, IIIT Hyderabad is undoubtedly one of the best options available. The study environment and coding culture at IIIT Hyderabad are unmatched, making it a great choice for students interested in CSE.
However, if you are looking for a more well-rounded college experience that includes a relaxed and enjoyable campus life, an older IIT may be a better choice for you. While IIIT Hyderabad excels in academics, it may not provide the same level of student life experience as an IIT.
When deciding between colleges, it is important to consider all aspects of the institution, not just academics. For example, BITS Pilani is an excellent college in all aspects, but if you have the option of getting into an older IIT such as IIT Guwahati, it may be a better choice for you.
Similarly, when choosing between BHU and IIT Guwahati, it is advisable to choose IIT Guwahati. While BHU has recently been given the IIT tag, IIT Guwahati is now being compared to older IITs and is even beating some of them in various rankings.
Finally, if you do not get admission into CSE with a rank of 803, Mathematics and Computing (MnC) is always an option. In fact, MnC is a safer option with better placement opportunities at IIT Guwahati. So, you can always consider MnC if you don't get CSE.
No, NIT Jamshedpur Mechanical is not better than NIT Rourkela Mechanical. NIT Rourkela is ranked higher than NIT Jamshedpur by all national rankings. It also is better than NIT Jamshedpur in terms of parameters like infrastructure, placements, Number of research papers published, faculty, etc.

However, both the institutes are the best in their respective, areas namely Jharkhand and Odisha.
The choice of B Schools depends on your interests and priorities. The school you choose depends on
Some people consider placement statistics for making their decision but personally I find that a bit misleading. One other good way is to talk to the alumni of the schools and make a list of pros and cons. This will help you analyze the worth of each college and thereby make a sound decision.
Every B School has a specialization. You need to identify that and match it with your own goals and aspirations. For example,
IIM Ahmedabad is known for its strategy, IIM Bangalore is known for its marketing, IIM Calcutta is known for its finance, and FMS is known for its high ROI and location (Delhi).
So make a choice that suits your inclinations and don’t adopt the sheep mentality.
Rather than telling you which college is better let’s discuss some factors you should consider before deciding on your college. These will help you make the best choice.
Faculty: Look for the college with the oldest and most experienced faculty. They should encourage you to take upon new challenges in life rather than just teaching.
Infrastructure: To ensure that the 4 years you spend in college are worthwhile, proper infrastructure is very important. Applying your knowledge requires laboratories, libraries, and other facilities.
Exposure: Choose the college that renders the best exposure through seminars, workshops, guest levy, and technical visits to plants. This is way more necessary than just studying your books.
Placements: This is the most crucial factor taken into consideration while choosing your college. Compare the colleges you have in mind for the placement figures. You will get a general idea.
Proper research based on these factors will help you select the right college for you. Moreover, you can also search for alumni of both the mentioned colleges and ask them directly. They will be more than willing to help.
Go for the IIM Lucknow ABM program only if you are sincerely inclined towards agri. If not then choosing ABM will limit your career prospects considerably and you might even regret it later.
MDI Gurgaon PGDM is one of the oldest programs that have great value. MDI Gurgaon can easily be called the country’s best B School. The admissions are solely based on merit so the quality of your peers is top-notch. Some major highlights of the institute and its PGDM program are
So you will not regret choosing MDI even over IIM Lucknow.
IIEST Shibpur is better for CSE. It offers better academics, and facilities. IIEST receives more funding than NIT Durgapur. It has a better peer group as well, which is clearly reflected on the cutoff.
The placement rate for CSE is around 80%. Students receive an average CTC of around INR 10 LPA. The highest CTC offered goes up to INR 39 LPA. Microsoft Media, Deutsch Bank, Mentor Graphics, Well Fargo’s, etc. are among the major recruiters that take place in the placement drive.
