Which is better: IMT Ghaziabad for marketing or XIMB?

AG
Akriti Gupta Posted On : May 5th, 2022
lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

For Marketing, IMT Ghaziabad is a slightly better choice. Around 40% of students got placed in the marketing sector during IMT Ghaziabad placements 2022. While the percentage of students getting placed in the marketing sector at XIMB is 14% only. According to the placement highlights, 7% of students from IMTG were recruited in FMCG sector. For XLRI, the corresponding figure was 4%. 

Adobe, Accenture, HCL, Barclays, etc. are some of the major recruiters in the marketing domain at IMTG. 

XIMB batch profile includes mostly engineers and almost 50% of the batch strength is from one state. So, there’s a lack of diversity and the networking opportunities are limited. Whereas, for IMTG, around 52% of the batch are from a non-engineering background and the students are from all across the country. 

IMT Ghaziabad enjoys a locational advantage as well. Since it is located at the industrial hub of Delhi NCR.

What is the best distance learning MBA Program: Symbiosis Pune, IMT Ghaziabad, NMIMS, or IGNOU?

AG

IGNOU is best for distance learning MBA. IGNOU MBA course structure is pretty good. You will get to learn the basics first then the main concepts. The study materials are good and make the learning process smooth. IGNOU also has a better reputation. 

Symbiosis Pune is also a good option for MBA. You can choose one of these two options based on fee structure and eligibility.

Are NITs better than BITS?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : June 27th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Let’s compare the top NIT, NIT Trichy with BITS Pilani to determine if NITs are better than BITS or not.

  • Tag: The brand value of both BITS and NITs is almost similar though the courses offered are slightly different. BITS offers to BE, while NITs offer BTech like IITs. 
  • Curriculum: BITS has a major-minor system making it possible to major in Mechanical and minor in Economics. Additionally, BITS offers dual degrees also. NIT Trichy on the other hand offers the Honors degree to those who show distinguished grades in 8 all sems and take 3 AP classes. 
  • ROI: Considering the high BITS Pilani fees, the return on investment offered by NITs is way better than BITS unless money is your last concern.
  • Student pool: NITs have a reservation policy while BITS does not. This ensures better crowd quality at BITS and even better competition in comparison to NITs.
  • Extra-Curriculars: Students get enough time to focus on extracurricular activities at BITS because of the flexibility to choose electives and no attendance. It also encourages a startup culture among its students. NIT's rigidity of curriculum makes it difficult to spare time for extracurriculars.
  • Higher Education: NITs alumni have a history of pursuing higher education from top universities in the US and Europe. So it’s a winner in this aspect.
  • Placements: BITS Pilani CSE has excellent placement opportunities while for mechanical NIT Trichy is a better choice as it offers better placement in the core. 

Ultimately, I would suggest you go for NIT if you want to pursue higher studies or core jobs while BITS Pilani is the best choice for CSE.

I got NIT Surathkal ECE and IIIT Bangalore CSE. I am joining IIIT Bangalore CSE, is it a good decision?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : September 14th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

This is a very subjective question. However, as a student of ECE at NIT Surathkal, I am writing down a few points in defense of my degree-

  1. First of all, NIT Surathkal offers a much more complete and diversified engineering education. This is because you will get to interact with the students of various disciplines from around the institution. This will offer a good exposure in contrast to the IIITs which are entirely focused on CSE and ECE branches.
  1. ECE is the branch of the future. CSE is turning more and more into a commodity. This is due to the dilution of its educational standards, and the increasing volume of students in this branch. 
  1. As an ECE student, you can always learn programming (it is in fact a part of the curriculum in a limited manner). However, it is much more difficult to learn the concepts of ECE as a CSE student. 
  1. As an ECE student you can be placed in a software company, but as a CSE student you can’t work in the E&C field. 
  1. Both the colleges are good, but NITK holds more prestige because it is much older. Its campus is very impressive as well.

But even IIIT Bangalore CSE is a great option. Once you’ve made a decision, stop seeking others’ opinions. Instead, work on your skill enhancement. Considering the sheer lack of core jobs in the electronics sector in India and the huge placement opportunities in the IT sector, your choice is good from a placement point of view.

I read in some posts that IVRI is not good enough for UG for the best skills, but it is good for PG and research only. They said that TANUVAS, GB Pant, GADVASU, etc. are good UG. Is it true?

PR
Preet Roy Posted On : September 14th, 2021
B.V.Sc & A.H from Indian Veterinary Research Institute (2024)

If talking about IVRI, then there are over 240 scientists conducting research work in different fields. Here are some important facts that you may find useful:

  • If these are the same candidates, pursuing several research projects and academic activities in the PG course, then they also do the same for UG courses as well. 
  • Mainly, the reason behind this is the clinic was extended and also offered several amenities when the UG courses were first introduced in IVRI.
  • The infrastructure of IVRI is well established. 
  • One of my friends, who belonged from the Physiology department once mentioned having access to over 17 microscopes for a student limit of around 24.
  • The fee program of IVRI is minimal, with the provision of a variety of scholarship options. 
  • The hostels, library, and mess are equally satisfactory.
  • There are no strict restrictions imposed upon students. 
  • During your stay, you will be part of having a great exposure, while still greatly having access to each lab and scientists conducting research works.
  • Every batch has maintained the legacy of the institute by evidently showcasing better results each time. 
  • There are several students who secured good scores in the JRF exams, while a few students obtained seats in IVRI again through AIQ ICAR. 
  • One of the seniors has recently also established a successful startup after acquiring a grant of 30 lacs from IVRI itself. 
  • There are students who also recently qualified for the Rajasthan VO examination by both securing high scores in the written test and exams other than that. 
  • Along the lines, some of the seniors are also using Agribusiness with a salary of almost INR 50,000 per month. 

It is one of the best institutes to pursue a UG course likewise. Thus, make an informed decision after analyzing every detail.

Currently, is IIEST Shibpur, formerly BESU, better than Jadhavpur University?

SR
Sourav Roy Posted On : March 20th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur

IIEST Shibpur offers integrated MTech for engineering streams. So, first, be clear if you want to pursue MTech from an institute that does not have a record of producing post-grads like IITs or other universities abroad. 

Comparison:

In academics, there is not much difference between JU CS and BESU CS.

In fact in the present scenario, JU CS has better placement statisticsas compared to BESU CS.For this reason, sometimes BESU CS/IT graduates join IITs after the completion of their course and often end up in the same firms their fellow JU mates are working in for 2 years. 

BESU got updated to the status of IIEST quite recently. It will take some time for the institute to improve its infrastructure and academics. Being an institute of national importance, the institute is attracting good facilities and campus recruits. 

The bottom line is if you are sure that you want to pursue integrated MTech, IIEST CS is not a bad option. Be it JU or BESU, the institute does not matter that much. If you are hard-working, you will excel.

Is VIT better than some NITs like say NIT Durgapur?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 6th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

No, VIT is not better than NITs at all. In fact, its a private engineering college so it will cost you much more than studying at a government college like NIT. Here is why I think NITs in general or NIT Durgapur, in particular, is better than VIT

  • Although NITs have a reservation policy, it does not suck as much as the Management Quota at VIT that lets in a huge number of average students.
  • The placement statistics clearly put NIT Durgapur ahead of VIT. 
  • NIT Durgapur has a rich legacy and is highly reputed among recruiters. 
  • You will get the advantage of the NIT tag and one can deny the fact that it does give you an edge over others

Here is a brief overview of these colleges
