What is the difference in the career path between an MBA from the IIM (BLACKI) and the NMIMS Mumbai? Is it worth leaving the NMIMS and try again next year for the IIM (K)?

SD
Shrinjoy Dut Posted On : March 14th, 2023
MBA from NMIMS(2017)

When it comes to choosing between IIM ABCL and NMIMS, it is true that IIM ABCL holds a better reputation. However, it's important to note that many companies that visit IIM I and K also visit the NMIMS campus. In terms of compensation and job profiles, there isn't a significant difference either. So, if you perform well at NMIMS, there's a high probability that your career path won't be different from those at IIM K and IIM I.

While it would have been ideal to opt for IIM I, K, or ABCL if you had the choice, if you're not entirely confident about securing a seat in one of these top-tier institutes, NMIMS is still a great option. It's also essential to keep in mind that work experience is a crucial criterion for shortlisting in all companies, and anything below 2 years is considered quite impressive.

It's essential to have a clear understanding of the differences between IIM ABCL and NMIMS. While the former has a better brand name, the latter can provide you with a well-rounded experience as well. It ultimately comes down to your performance and how well you can leverage the opportunities provided to you. With a strong academic background, aptitude, and personality, you can excel at either institute and make a successful career for yourself. So, don't stress too much about choosing between the two and instead focus on preparing yourself to perform well at whichever institute you ultimately choose

MBA from SVKM's NMIMS (Graduated 2016)

When deciding between IIM Ranchi and NMIMS Mumbai, consider the following points:

  • Brand name: While IIM Ranchi has the "IIM" tag, NMIMS is a more established and well-known brand, particularly among employers.
  • Alumni network: NMIMS has a larger and more active alumni network, particularly within Mumbai, which can provide valuable support and connections.
  • Corporate exposure: Located in Mumbai, NMIMS offers greater opportunities for industry exposure and interactions with professionals.
  • Placements: While the chances of being placed may be slightly higher at NMIMS, the average CTCs at both schools are similar.
  • Learning and pedagogy: Both schools offer similar visiting faculty and pedagogical methods, though NMIMS may have a slightly higher caliber of students due to its merit-based admission criteria.

Ultimately, you should weigh these factors and choose the school that best aligns with your goals and priorities.

Which is better, IIIT Allahabad IT+ business informatics or IIIT Lucknow new CSAI?

DR
Deepika Roy Posted On : July 5th, 2021
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Information Technology, Lucknow (2020)

For the students having CRL in between 4-10k in JEE Mains, this is the most difficult choice for them. There are several factors according to which a student should make a decision. Here are the factors.

Interest: Among Artificial Intelligence and Business Informatics, you should go with his/her interests.

Scope: Scope plays an important role as what's in trend today would be out of trend tomorrow. In this category, AI is the future.

Here a little bit about both courses to help you give an idea.

AI is the mechanism through which a machine displays its intelligence as a human does which depends on the existing data and instructions while Business Informatics combines the knowledge of economics, IT, and CSE and is focussed mainly on business-related areas.

The other factors that you should consider are as follow.

Placements: Although both AI and BI are in demand, the placements are rigorously good in AI. If you are good with the concepts of BI you could get placed in that field too.

Curriculum: Both courses have a specifically designed curriculum.

College Life: It plays an important role in the overall development of a student and IIIT Lucknow has better infrastructure than IIIT Allahabad and would be more suitable.

Location: IIIT Lucknow is a prime location. But you should consider the distance of the institute from your home too.

If you are conflicted about the courses, I will suggest that you go with CSAI, it is a border field and you will have good opportunities in the future. But if you want a good college life go for BI at IIIT Lucknow.

What should I choose, IIIT Kurnool or IIIT Sri City?

AG
Aditya Ghosh Posted On : March 22nd, 2021
Indian Institute of Information Technology Bhagalpur (2019)

As both of these are IIITs, they will never fail in delivering quality education to their students. However, there are some aspects due to which IIIT Sri City has an edge over IIITDM Kurnool. Here’s why:

  • IIIT Sri City already has its permanent campus ready which means you’ll have all the basic facilities on your own campus. It is well established and way ahead of IIITDM Kurnool.
  • In IIIT Sri City you will have a location advantage due to its proximity to major cities like Hyderabad, Chennai, and Bangalore.
  • You will be offered quite good placements at IIIT Sri City as two batches have already passed out and got offers from PayPal, MuSigma, etc. On the other hand, IIIT Kurnool lacks such a record.
  • One of the major pros is that your mentor institute will be IIIT Hyderabad which doesn’t need any second thoughts. You might get certain benefits like their great curriculum, faculty, and placement assistance.
  • Many pass-out students are pursuing their masters from reputed foreign institutes.

However, it doesn’t mean that IIITDM Kurnool is not at all a good option. The thing is that it still needs at least the next 5-10 years to produce great records and become a premier institute like the other IIITs. But for now, IIIT Sri City is the best choice for you.

Which is a better school FMS, Delhi or IIM, Indore keeping in mind every possible factor?

SJ
Sidhharth Jain Posted On : January 9th, 2023
Studied at FMS

People choose FMS over IIM Indore for reasons other than ROI. They choose FMS over IIM Indore for better placements. It has a 50-year alumni network. and is situated in the heart of Delhi.

It takes a lot of persuasions to convince a company to come to Indore. After the first few days, the majority of interviews are conducted over the phone or via Skype, implying that companies make no investment of time or money in hiring Indore students. As a result, there are very few offers from telephone rounds. In comparison, any company from Gurgaon can take a day off to visit the renowned FMS and entice a few geniuses.

There are few alumni in top executive positions making hiring decisions. A smaller batch also means less competition and a better chance of landing prestigious jobs. The ROI factor comes into play when comparing FMS to IIM Lucknow, which is a difficult choice, but there isn't much of a choice between IIM Indore and FMS.

Is CUSAT or any govt colleges in Kerala a better option?

AB
Ahalya Bose Posted On : August 9th, 2023
Studied at Cochin University (2019)

CUSAT and other government and private colleges that come under Tier 3 should not be your top priority. There are many Tier 1 and 2 colleges that are less opted. Such institutions include- Anna University, Jadavpur University, PSG Coimbatore, and VIT. These are relatively much easier to get into and offer a 100% placement, in contrast with CUSAT and other Kerala government colleges/ universities. Other options may include Delhi University and Panjab University.

NITs and IIST are top institutions. They should be your top priority. If you wish to go abroad, your college tag holds even greater significance. You will get into masters’ or grab a job abroad way more easily with a good college tag. If you can qualify for CUSAT or other Kerala government colleges, you can easily get into any of the institutions mentioned above. Moreover, the grading system/ credit system in most of the government universities in Kerala is bad. It poses obstacles in your admissions in top universities abroad. This is especially true for European Universities because there is a lack of proper credit transfer channels.

Thus, I would say that CUSAT and other Kerala government colleges are not very good option and should not be at the top of your priority list.

Which is better for mtech in mechanical engineering between nit trichy or iit guwahati?

SP
Shankar Pandey Posted On : May 5th, 2023
B.Tech Production and Industrial Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli (2020)

The better option depends on what your purpose and life goals are and what you want from your Master. 

If you want to pursue a career in research (PhD) the best option for you is IIT Guwahati. Being one of the oldest and most highly reputed IITs, it has high credibility and will fetch you Ph.D. interviews much more easily. Additionally, IIT Guwahati also offers immense exposure through foreign exchange programs. IIT Guwahati has collaborations with various reputed universities and can be preferred over NITs. 

However, if it's the jobs you are after, then NIT is a better option as it’s more accessible to employers. Still, IIT Guwahati will always be my first preference. Be it a job or higher education, IITs always give an edge to other engineering institutes.
