How is quality engineering in IIT Kharagpur?
There is a Quality Engineering Design and Manufacturing or QEDM program offered at IIT Kharagpur. Some highlights of the course are
- This program is a 5-year dual degree course
- It is flexible and offers a plethora of choices to choose from
- Based on your CGPA, you are allotted a vertical at the end of the first year. This can be either Mechanical Engineering or Industrial Electronics.
- The batch strength is very low in comparison to other core branches
- This course gives you the opportunity to choose a branch of your choice which is hardly possible after clearing JEE.

Which course is better in Goa institute of management?
Goa Institute of Management has 2 regular programs
- PGDM
- PGDM HCM
PGDM: PGDM is its flagship course and is very successful. Its 100% placement percentage is a testament to that. The average salary has been increasing every year and this year stands at INR 12.07 LPA. The companies visiting the campus for recruitment have been loyal by visiting every year. The regular PGDM has much more fees in comparison to PGDM HCM and thus a lower ROI. Also, admission to PGDM is tough owing to tough competition.
PGDM HCM: This program was launched just a few years ago and had few seats. It too boasts of a 100% placement percentage yet its average package at INR 10.40 LPA is lower than PGDM. But some companies come especially for HCM students. The PGDM HCM has fees lower than PGDM and thus offers a higher ROI than regular PGDM. Due to a lack of awareness, the competition is also less tough than PGDM.
Talking about the delivery of the curriculum, the faculty, pedagogy, infrastructure, and facilities are all the same. The students of both programs join together during events. So eventually it’s up to you to decide which course to take.
What are the future prospects of doing the PGDBA course from IIM Calcutta?
Students can choose from either Python or R after learning both of them in this course. They get to sharpen our presentation abilities, business perspective, and statistical knowledge. Moreover, the course covers Hadoop and big data. You will have plenty of data to work with because the course is industry-focused. Courses include multiple projects, and students can do projects based on the subjects they study.

How helpful is the dual degree of IIM Calcutta provided by CEMS for one's career growth?
The dual degree of IIM Calcutta provided by CEMS is of little use unless you are planning to settle in Europe in the long run. The reasons why it is not worthy are:
-
CEMS is not recognized in India. No industry recognises this degree. 95% of IIM graduates are placed within India.
-
The international scope of this degree is limited to Europe only. 21 out of 30 CEMS member schools are European.
-
This degree requires you to complete a 10-week foreign internship which is very difficult to secure.
-
The selections for CEMS are competitive. 25-30 students are selected from among 70-80 applicants.
Without any doubt CEMS is the highest rated dual degree program in Europe. But within India or outside Europe, this program becomes useless.
