What is a better choice, take a job at Infosys as a fresher or pursue an MBA at IIM Nagpur?
I cannot answer your question directly but I can direct you to answer it yourself. Choosing something related to your career requires constant analysis of your own interests.
Now let’s look at the 2 options you have. Taking a job at Infosys as a fresher or pursuing an MBA from IIM Nagpur. One choice may be right for someone and wrong for the other person. So it’s up to you to decide.
You should join Infosys only if you are interested in solving technical problems. You will be trained at the training facility at Mysore and made to inculcate impeccable technical skills. You will be dealing with the technological aspects of the company. like working on features of a product, and solving/reporting bugs for a product. Your future job prospects include becoming a Technical Analyst, Tech lead, or other tech-savvy roles. You need to have a serious interest in this area if you choose this option.
You should pursue an MBA from Nagpur or any other IIM only if you are interested in solving business problems. Here you will be taught by world-class faculty for 2 years who will teach you the various dimensions of business management. You will have to participate in case studies, quizzes, classroom participation, presentations, group assignments, club activities, etc. During the second year, you can focus on one or two of your favorite domains. MBA will open doors for big placement offers.
So what matters, in the end, is what you want to do in life and what you are passionate about.
Which IIM amongst the two should one join, IIM Ranchi and IIM Raipur?
If we talk about the brand value and worth of these two IIMs I don’t think there are many dissimilarities. The difference between the two is some personal level factors like
Campus: IIM Ranchi has no permanent campus and this is one of the major shortcomings of this institute. IIM Raipur on the other hand has a vast 200-acre campus. It is decked with world-class facilities and will give you the feeling of staying at a hotel.
Placements: IIM Raipur has better placements than IIM Ranchi and for many, this is a major deciding factor. The table below compares the placement statistics of the two IIMs.

Which MBA college should I prefer (background is from B.tech hons (CS) and have 15 months work experience), IIT KGP or IIM Trichy?
The best way to answer your query is to mention the core highlights of MBA from both institutes.
IIT
- The MBA course here is more of technical nature as the program is one of the many departments of a huge Technical institute
- The peers are very talented and genius
- The small batch size increases the opportunities for placements
IIM Trichy
- The MBA experience here is much more diverse and challenging. You will find peers from diverse backgrounds.
- The pedagogy here is top notch as they specialize in this area
- IIM Trichy has a better academic rigor and their style of Management education is too good
- IIMs offer better food and infrastructural facilities
I will sum up my answer with 2 points. If you are looking for job prospects outside India, IITs are a good choice. But within India, IIMs are a better option as their style of Management surpasses that of IITs.
What happens during the counseling of Manipal university?
After the MU OET results are released by the University, the counseling of the students starts for all three campuses (Manipal University Karnataka, Manipal University Jaipur, and Sikkim Institute of Technology).
- You are required to select the venue for counseling from the available centers before you download the hall ticket.
- Make sure that you fulfill all the eligibility criteria before you report to the counseling Centre.
- Only the candidates whose ranks are included in the counseling schedule are required to visit the venue.
- Your physical presence is mandatory for the admission process.
- At the venue, you will be required to be present in the counseling hall according to the ranks you scored in the MU OET Examination.
- You can select any branch available during your turn.
- Once the seat for admission is assigned, you cannot change it later under any circumstance.
During counseling, you must present the required original documents and two sets of photocopies of the same. For admission, the University would retain these documents till the completion of your course.
What is your opinion about IIM Raipur for a GEM from NITW earning 13 LpA in the IT industry with 22 months work experience?
Let’s make this easy to understand by comparing what you will be earning in 2 years if you continue to work here and the average package you might be offered after completing an MBA of 2 years.
Your current salary is 13 LPA. So in 2 years, you will be earning around 16 LPA. The average salary of IIM Raipur is INR 17.73 LPA. Now if you compare the two you will see there isn’t much difference between the two. In fact, if you go for an MBA you will end up with an extra loan. Paying back the hefty loan is itself a big task. So, in my opinion, you should continue working in the firm.
If you really want to pursue MBA, prepare for CAT next year and aim for an older IIM as it might improve your opportunities. Then again go for CAT again only if you are confident that you will
be able to ace it.
What happens inside the counselling hall for admission to an MBBS course at The Tamil Nadu MGR Medical University?
The counselling usually takes place at Govt. Omandurar Medical College, but there have been plans of making it online.
Here's how counselling usually takes place:
- You will be given a tentative time slot for your rank. For example, if you come under state rank 1–500, your time slot will be from 9 AM to 11 AM, and so on.
- You will wait in the tent until your time slot.
- Screens inside the tent display the number of seats available in each college and the students who have been alloted to each college.
- When your time slot comes, you will be given an ID card and will be allowed to take 1 parent inside.
- Once inside, there will be an IOB (Indian Overseas Bank) to take a DD to pay for counselling fees.
- You continue to wait until they call out your rank. Usually they call 10–20 ranks at a time.
- Once inside the counselling hall, you will be given a form to fill the basic details (name, contact, etc).
- The parents are seated separately. You must carry your folder containing all documents.
- For document verification you will be called to a table where government officers sit and scrutinize every single document.
- Once you submit the copies of the original documents, show the originals and answer their questions, you will be stamped clear for college selection.
- After all this, you will be directed to a person who will lock your college when the time comes.
- You tell them what college you choose and when your rank comes they lock your college.
But counselling does not end here. For post counselling formalities, you will be given a receipt. You have to go to another room where they stamp that receipt. You have to pay the fees in the counselling hall itself. Again you go to the IOB counter, get a DD for the fees specified and produce the DD at another counter, where they give you an admit card.
You have to report at your college within 3 days. If you are from a CBSE or ICSE school, you have to get an eligibility certificate from MGR Medical University showing your admit card there. To avoid the crowd reach as early as possible.
What is photo counseling in CUSAT admissions?
During CUSAT admission counseling, they verify that there is no fraud and you are the same person as the photo that was given in the registration form. This process is known as photo counseling. This round is just for verification purposes. This process ensures that there are no discrepancies during admission.
Which is better, bootcamp or an MBA from new IIM (Udaipur, Trichy) to switch to data analytics? I have a 3 years work experience as a QA engineer.
I will give you an insight into both the options you mentioned, i.eMBA from IIM or Bootcamp.
Bootcamp: If you are very passionate about Data Analytics then Bootcamp is the best option for you. I deem this course better than an MBA from B School as a B School covers various arenas of Management while Bootcamp solely focuses on what you are looking for. Moreover, you will end up paying hefty fees and will have to pay loans for years. It provided a detailed approach to Data Analytics and you don’t have to study irrelevant topics
B School: B schools like the new IIMs are good for people who are not certain of their career interests. In that case, B-school would teach you much more than Data Analytics, and then you can pursue the field you excel in or are most passionate about. The excellent pedagogy of IIMs enables you to inculcate skills like handling a project, building a workforce, execution, etc. Basically, you are groomed on an overall basis and get industry exposure as well.
I have seen many people pursuing MBA and also online courses that offer Certification in Data Analytics specifically. So that is also a viable option for you.
Should I join HCL as an IMS engineer with 6 LPA in Noida or a government grade 3 job in my home location with 4 LPA?
My advice would be to join the Grade 3 Government job as it will give you an opportunity to study for higher exams. It will also ensure many facilities that come with a government job like job security.
If you join HCL, with a 6 LPA package, the immense work pressure will hinder you from preparing for any further exams. You will have to keep climbing the corporate ladder and the pressure won’t let you prepare for your higher studies.
I want to do BCA but I'm confused which collage to choose IMS Noida is only 6 KM from my home?
Many falsely assume IMS Noida to be a good institute after reading fake reviews and misleading information on the internet. My friend's house was in close proximity to the Institute and thus chose it for graduation. Till date he regrets his decision because there are so many flaws like
- Inexperienced and incompetent faculty
- Management that is after money only
- Constant fees hikes every year
- Sessional exams are not conducted timely and marks are not sent to the university timely
- Unnecessary fine imposed
- Inflated placement statistics
- Corrupted administration
- Poor college life experience
- Unhygienic environment
These reasons are more than enough to convince you from choosing IMS Noida.
