Which college is better in terms of placement and academics, GL Bajaj or IMS Ghaziabad?
If you are willing to pursue B.Tech and we’re not able to make it into IITs or NITs, then I suggest taking a drop year and applying for better engineering colleges than making a hasty decision and choosing IMS. The reason why I advise you on giving up IMS is that its Engineering department is not up to the mark. The quality of education is very poor and in the end, you will just end up with a Degree Certificate and no knowledge or innovative grooming. If you decide on a certain branch then it’s important to know that no matter which specialization you go for, you will be placed under TCs or any other local software company. You won’t be able to climb higher than this. So if your goals and standards are high I suggest you think twice before choosing IMS.
I want to pursue an MBA in marketing as my major. What are the pros and cons of IIFT Delhi, IIFT Kolkata and NMIMS Mumbai?
It is important to evaluate IIFT Delhi, IIFT Kolkata, and NMIMS Mumbai for an MBA in Marketing and compare their offerings, including curriculum, placement opportunities, and return on investment (ROI).
IIFT Delhi and Kolkata are both part of the Indian Institutes of Foreign Trade (IIFT) and offer similar programs and opportunities. As such, when comparing IIFT with other institutions such as NMIMS, IIFT is considered to be superior in many aspects.
One of the key advantages of IIFT is its better ROI. The course curriculum is designed to provide a rigorous education with a focus on international business. Additionally, IIFT has a strong track record of improving its placements each year. The current batch of students has achieved the highest placements among all top B-schools, including the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs).
In considering these factors, IIFT may be a strong option for those looking for a graduate program in management with a focus on international business and strong placement opportunities. However, it is important to conduct thorough research and evaluate all options before making a final decision.
For civil engineering, what should be my preference order, NIT Agartala, NIT Jamshedpur, or BIT Mesra?
All the three colleges are good. However, according to me, NIT JSR and BIT Mesra are better than NIT Agartala. For a core Engineering branch though, NIT JSR is a better choice over BIT Mesra. So your preference order for Civil should be NIT JSR> BIT Mesra> NIT Agartala.
Here are a few comparison points between NIT JSR and BIT Mesra to helTithi agp you choose between the two-
- Academic Infrastructure- The infrastructure at BIT Mesra is better than NIT JSR. However, NIT JSR has a new academic building and the old academic building underwent renovation some time back.
- Hostel Infrastructure- The hostel infrastructure of NIT JSR is much superior with the rooms and galleries in very good condition.
- Placements- For core branches, the placements are a bit better at NIT JSR.
- The teacher-student ratio is better at BIT Mesra.
- BIT Mesra is a private college, so the maintenance of campus, classrooms, etc. is much better. However, its semester fees are much higher than NIT JSR.
- NIT JSR carries the ‘NIT’ tag which holds value if you go for your higher studies, and may also open more job opportunities for you.
- For CAT, UPSC, IES, GATE, etc. aspirants, NIT JSR has a lesser attendance pressure and allows more free time that you can then use for your preparation.
- Curriculum load- The curriculum load is more at BIT Mesra than NIT JSR.
- The girls:boys student ratio is better at BIT Mesra.
- The study environment is almost the same at both.
BIT Mesra is a better option for CSE. However, for a core branch, NIT JSR is a better choice. My brother chose Civil at NIT JSR over Civil at BIT Mesra and he did not regret his decision. Also, never choose an institution based off of NIRF rankings because they consider many factors, and many of them are irrelevant for you.
What makes MNIT Jaipur better than MNNIT Allahabad in recent years?
Both these institutes carry the NIT tag, so they have equal brand value. I don’t know much about the ground reality at MNNIT. However, ranking wise, MNIT is surely ahead of it.
MNIT Jaipur offers one of the best faculties and topnotch placements. Besides that, the college has improved its infrastructure manifold. Here are some highlights on the infrastructural facilities at MNIT-
- The Materials Research Centre (MRC) contains the best machinery and equipment.
- Vivekananda Lecture Theater Complex is Asia’s largest. It has 40 lecture halls packed with modern facilities, and a capacity to house more than 5000 students at a time.
- The Technology Business Incubator (TBI) provides incubates and prospective entrepreneurs mentoring support in marketing, finance, business planning, branding, IPR, patenting, product development, and other areas.
- Its core area includes Product and Process Design, Material and Process Innovation, and ICT Based Companies.
- The computer center contains 10 computer labs, open round the clock for students and faculty members.
- It also has a data center with Private Cloud using VMWare VCloud Suite 5 and 64 TB of EMC2 Storage.
It’s modern infrastructure, top-notch faculty, and high placements have resulted in making MNIT a top engineering college.
Is ECE at NIT Warangal or NIT Surathkal better than CSE at NIT Rourkela?
You will have to consider quite a few things before you decide between these 3 places. Most of my friends agreed that ECE is one of the toughest branches in engineering.
- CSE and ECE, however, come under the same branch of software engineering. If you directly compare these two branches, CSE is much better than ECE.
- Coming to the colleges, you can place NIT Surathkal and NIT Warangal in the tier 1 institutes. You will definitely have a lot of exposure here and some of the best students are from these popular indian engineering colleges.
- You will also see that most of them practice computer programming and become computer engineers.
- Given their position, you can expect them to earn up to INR 5 to 50 lakhs per annum. This pay will also depend on what skills you earn.
- Most of the companies will not look at your academic credentials. It is advised to you to develop your TopCoder and GitHub profiles since these are the profiles that your employer will look at.
Additionally, other job roles you can expect from these institutes include managers in various industries. These will highly depend on your luck and personal leaning. You can expect a pay of INR 5 to 15 lakhs per annum. However, a drawback is that these companies look at your academic profile heavily. So if you have a lower grade, it is possible that this could stand as a setback.
Finally, when it comes to Tier 3 colleges NIT Rourkela is better, the job prospects from these colleges are not that great. You can expect to have a salary of INR 3 to 4 lakhs per annum with most jobs in service based companies.
Is YMCA or Kurukshetra University better than IPU?
One of my friends studied at YMCA while my sister studied at IPU. I can share their experiences and let's see who won:
- YMCA receives a lot of good companies each year.
- IPU receives IT firms most often with a package of INR 3.25 LPA. The only highlight of IPU is Microsoft.
- As a CS or IT, you will find it to your liking. In YMCA Amazon, Maruti, Adobe, Snapdeal, Yamaha, and many more reputed companies come to hire B.Tech graduates.
Placement is what matters to most, however, it's not the only parameter of comparison but because YMCA tops in placements which is an essential factor nevertheless, it wins!

Should IIM Lucknow be chosen over FMS or XLRI just for the IIM tag? It reeks of secrecy (no placement reports, no waiting list numbers provided without RTI) and barring the campus life I haven't heard
I have said this before. No college is better than the other. It’s just a matter of preferences and suitability. Yet you are here comparing some 3 best B Schools in India. Neither of the 3 colleges is lacking in any aspect. So you won’t be making a bad choice by choosing one from FMS, XLRI, or IIM Lucknow.
The most crucial step while choosing a college is checking your priorities and knowing what you want from the college and where you are headed to in the future. Once you are determined in what you are seeking no college can really stop you. So don’t worry about the confidentiality at IIM Lucknow. With the right mindset, you can make the best out of it. I think focusing on the following aspects will help you make a better decision
- Quality of education
- Campus life
- Career goals
- Big companies coming to the campus for placements
- Fees
Once you have set your goals, all the above 3 colleges will help you achieve them. Lastly, don't choose IIM Lucknow for its IIM tag. If you are honest with your goals, the IIM brand value is not more than a mere tag.
The minimum cutoff for the general category is 90, whereas the cutoff for OBC is 82 at IIM Lucknow.

How good is SPJIMR's PGDM? I’m looking at the current placement records of over 26L average. Is it performing better than top B-schools like XLRI/FMS/IIM?
SPJIMR has been among the top 5 or 10 B Schools over the past few years consistently. Its brand value can be compared to XLRI, FMS, and even IIMs except for IIM ABC. This is because even now there are some roles offered to IIM ABC students that are not offered at SPJIMR. But this is not a major issue as these roles seek only extraordinary profiles and In Fact, many other roles offered at IIM ABC are lower than average.
In SPJIMR even the lowest package is decent and the range of salary is not very broad. This year, SPJIMR's average package stood at INR 33.02 LPA.
Other key points to note in comparison to old IIMs is that our Highest CTC is lower than that of IIMs but our Lowest CTC is higher than that of IIMs. So I will suggest anyone with an exceptionally good profile to choose IIM whereas someone with a decent average profile should go for SPJIMR only. It is important to note that getting roles at SPJIMR is a bit easier than IIMs mainly because of the small batch size and less competition.
Which is best among NITIE Mumbai, SIBM Pune, and IIM Rohtak for MBA?
In terms of placement, NITIE is the best followed by SIBM Pune, and finally IIM Rohtak. In terms of brand value, IIM Rohtak comes first, followed by NITIE and then SIBM.
Depending on whether you want the IIM tag, you should attend NITIE, SIBM Pune, or IIM Rohtak for Operations. NITIE has a firm grasp on operations and is well-known for it. Furthermore, the Mumbai location is advantageous. If you want to pursue a career in marketing, SIBM Pune should be your first choice.
IIM Rohtak will be considered after these two colleges because it is a relatively new brand that, like the other IIMs, will take time to establish itself.
