ISB Hyderabad's 1 year MBA program or Top 25 US B schools 2 year MBA program? Which is worth in the long run in terms of opportunities and pay package?

SG
Srinivas Gunda Posted On : January 30th, 2023
Audit Senior at BDO USA, LLP (2019–present)

You cannot logically compare US B Schools with ISB Hyderabad considering the difference in the quality of peer ground and overall education.

To give a better understanding, compare the ROI of both the B Schools. ISB Hyderabad MBA fees are around 24-28 Lakhs per year and considering the placement scenario, you cannot get a package of more than 15-18 Lakhs. On the other hand, the average fee of a US B School is around 120-200k Dollars and the salary one can expect from a B School is 120k. The ROI in the latter case is much better.

However, these ROI calculations have overlooked one part. As an International student, you'll need a job with a firm that sponsors h1b visas. This reduces 70% of coveted jobs. Now the hunt for a suitable job is tougher and you have to also hope that you win the h1b lottery. If you are unable to do so you might end up in India with a heavy loan of 80-90k Lakhs with an average salary of 15-20 LPA.

So we can say that US B Schools are always the better option than ISB Hyderabad but the risks involved are tenfold.

Should I go for civil engineering or metallurgy and material science engineering in NIT Trichy?

SP
Sreeja Prasad Posted On : August 31st, 2021
Dual degree from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (2021)

I would suggest you go for metallurgy if you plan to do a job right after completing your degree. Metallurgy has more job opportunities to offer. With Metallurgy, you can easily learn coding and go for tech companies. NIT Trichy has a great coding culture, so picking up coding skills will not be difficult. 

If you plan to prepare for civil services or any other government job, I would suggest you go for civil engineering.

When compared to metallurgy, there are fewer job opportunities in the civil department.

If you plan on doing an MBA after having done your engineering, you can opt for either of them because then it does not matter anyway.

Studied at School of Open Learning (SOL),University of Delhi,graduated in 2020

There is no difference between the courses followed by SOL at the University of Delhi. However, once the semester system was started in the regular colleges under the University, some differences have been seen. There is nothing to worry about, though. The syllabus of SOL is good.

The courses offered in SOL are year wise whereas the coursework of the regular colleges is semester-wise. SOL is basically for those candidates who are also employed. All the processes are carried out online. It offers courses like M.A., M.Com, B.Com (Hons.), etc.

Which is better, IET Lucknow or KNIT Sultanpur?

VB
Vandana Batra Posted On : May 4th, 2023
B.Tech. Computer Science & Engineering, Kamla Nehru Institute Of Technology (2016)

When it comes to choosing between KNIT Sultanpur and IET Lucknow, it's important to remember that "better" is subjective and depends on personal preferences. Let's take a closer look at both options:

KNIT Sultanpur:

  • KNIT has both good and bad faculties, so the quality of education may vary.
  • Campus life is bustling with lots of councils and activities, making it easy to stay engaged throughout the year.
  • The campus is decent, with lots of greenery and a peaceful environment for studying.
  • In the first and second year, it's important to attend classes seriously, but in later years, you can manage with less or very less classes depending on your time management skills.
  • For students in CE, EE, and ME, there is no placement scope in KNIT, and they must crack GATE or other competitive exams to secure a job. Fortunately, there is ample time available for GATE preparation in the final year due to fewer classes, and Sultanpur provides a distraction-free environment.
  • CS, IT, and EL students have more placement opportunities, with TCS recruiting over 100 engineers each year and other companies like Qualcomm, Mediatech, Lava, and Snapdeal also participating.

IET Lucknow:

  • Both KNIT and IET have similar faculties.
  • Infrastructure at IET is slightly better than KNIT.
  • Lucknow city provides students with more exposure and networking opportunities.
  • IET is near Made Easy and ACE coaching centers, which can be useful for GATE preparation.
  • Placements are almost the same in both colleges.
  • Hostel life at KNIT is arguably better.
  • Both colleges have councils and forums, but KNIT has more.

In conclusion, both KNIT Sultanpur and IET Lucknow have their advantages and disadvantages, and it's up to you to decide which one suits your preferences better.
