IIT Delhi is consistently ranked among the top engineering institutions in India. Its brand name will significantly improve your employment prospects after graduation. Moreover, the ‘IIT’ tag will be beneficial if you apply for higher education in foreign universities in the near future.
The Chemical Engineering program at IIT Delhi is known for its rigorous curriculum.

Is IIT Kharagpur good for CS or any other branch?
Although Kanpur, Bombay, and Kharagpur three are excellent Engineering institutes, it's IIT Kharagpur that steals the show with NIRF ranking of 5.
The director of IIT Kharagpur itself is the ex-HOD of the CS department and thus cares much about the department. Most of my friends and seniors from the CS department are in awe of the experience they had in their branch at IIT KGP.
As far as the other branches are concerned, IIT KGP provides a versatile list of relevant courses such as Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering that have excellent placement statistics and high cutoffs.
Even the integrated MSc in Economics has gained much popularity among IITians. The Mining department of IIT Kharagpur ranks 37th whereas other departments to have decent ranks globally.
Is MDI Gurgaon a good option to pursue an MBA?
MDI Gurgaon is certainly not a new name amongst MBA aspirants in India. Like the IITs and IIMs MDI also needs no bold introduction. So if your question is simply if MDI Gurgaon is good or not then the simple answer is yes, it is very good indeed. But if you are looking for a more detailed answer as to what makes it a good option over other B Schools, here it is.
Management Development Institute, known as MDI Gurgaon is one of the leading private B-schools founded in 1973. Ranked 10 for Private MBA by NIRF 2020 and 3 for Private MBA by Outlook 2020, it is one of the top institutes for Management education in India for offering PG, executive PG, doctoral, and Management development programs to students. Other highlights include
- The placements are at par with IIM (L I K)
- The curriculum is well structured and rigorous which makes its students corporate-ready
- The campus life is enriching and you are bound to create innumerable memories.
- MDI Gurgaon has been the first Indian B-school to have received international accreditation from the Association of MBAs (AMBA) London in 2006 and hence enjoys global recognition.
If you are confident you can get into this B School with your profile and CAT score, don’t leave this opportunity at any cost.
How good is PGDM- Full time at IMT Ghaziabad with almost 4 years work ex?
IMT Ghaziabad placement and admission process both lay great emphasis on Work Experience. So your work experience of 4 years will define work in your favor not only during the GE-PI rounds but during placements also.
One way to determine if your admission will be worth leaving your job is to calculate your ROI (Fees vs Avg CTC *2 with 2 yrs of loss in pay based on your existing CTC).
If you are confident enough you target other better B Schools also for wider prospects. You can check the career prospects of the field you have been working in and in case you are switching careers do the same for that field too. Check the best offers in that line and compare it with other B Schools. Such in-depth research will help you make a better decision that you won’t regret later.
When will IIM Bodh Gaya get a new campus?
The permanent campus of IIM Bodh Gaya is still under construction and is expected to be ready in a year or two. IIM Bodh Gaya is currently functioning from its temporary campus at Magadh University. Recently it was shifted to a new academic block which is in the vicinity of the permanent campus construction site. The campus was due to be completed by 2022 but the pandemic caused the delay.
Is it possible for recruiters to check if someone had a backlog in their 1st semester even after clearing it in the 3rd semester under MAKAUT?
Yes, they would carefully analyze the backlog even after you cleared it in the third semester. The certificate provided by MAKAUT clearly mentions the year of passing, which is a disadvantage for students with a backlog. Some companies give preference to students without a backlog; in such cases, you won’t be able to attend the interviews. But many giant recruiters are looking for the talent and skills of the candidate, not the mark list. Try to score a minimum of 60% in your academics, which is the basic eligibility requirement to appear for placement. So do not worry about your backlog and strive hard to clear it in the third semester itself.
Is CMC Ludhiana a better option for a MBBS?
A close friend of mine studies at CMC Ludhiana and gave me insight into the actual scenario of academics there.
- The academic environment may not be the best but it certainly is decent. You will have professors poking you to study hard, guide you, and keep track of your progress.
- The institute has a very poor infrastructure that hinders the classroom experience to a certain extent.
- The institute has a decent number of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities and organizes a musical theatre every year.
- CMC Ludhiana fees are extremely high around INR 6.6 for the first year which keeps increasing. It may not seem worth it.
- The hostel facilities are also average although better than many government colleges.
Overall, if your only goal is to study and become a good doctor, CMC Ludhiana is a decent choice for sure but if you also want a dynamic college life then I will suggest considering other options.
