Who are the most talented students of NIT, Rourkela?
I have a few friends from NIT, Rourkela, according to them, one of the most talented students is Susnata Roy (Batch of 2010-14). She was the institute topper for her batch. Susnata complete an internship at Microsoft and was offered a PPO. She got a job at Google. In the second year itself, she got the prestigious IAS internship. She is also known for her coding skills.
Will I get CSE at NIT Goa if I have a 19k OBC NCL rank?
According to the 2021 cutoff trend, the required cutoff of CSE for OBC category students is 14577 (HS). If you are an out-of-state student then the cutoff is 3779. So, getting admission to the institute will be tough if you are not a resident of Goa.
The counseling process is done based on the AIR and not the category rank. The category rank is just a measure to rank you in your particular category. If your category is OBC NCL then your category rank would be the position among the other OBC students who had appeared for the examination.
After applying for XAT is their need to separately register for XLRI and deposit its fees separately?
Yes, you need to apply for XLRI separately. The application form of the XAT and XLRI is similar and you need to pay an extra amount for applying for XLRI. XAT exam is conducted on behalf of XAMI. You should register for admission at XLRI just before the last date to avoid any last-minute complications.
If you are registering only for XAT, you need to pay only 1500 for registration. Whereas, if you are registering also for XLRI, you need to pay 250 rupees extra.
Also, in the XAT registration if you are applying for XLRI then you are supposed to choose the program of your choice i.e. Business management/ Human resource management/ Global business management and general management program.
Is NICMAR good for architecture students?
Yes, NICMAR is good for Architecture students. Advance Construction Management is their flagship course. I have a friend who pursued ACM at NICMAR, in his batch, there were many Architecture students. Whether ACM will be good for you or not depends on your interests. In this course, you will be learning more about general management and project-level details of construction rather than architectural design specialization. Choose ACM only if you are willing to come out of your comfort zone of mainstream architecture.
After pursuing ACM, you can get placements at site execution and project management in interior fit-outs jobs. You can design coordinator profiles in real estate and PMC companies. You can also take up finance and valuation profiles in the banking and consultancy industry. There are also consulting advisory profiles in real estate consultancy firms.
NICMAR also offers another course, i.e. Real Estate and Urban Infrastructure Management (REUIM). Although it is a new course it has more Architecture related subjects like Housing, Urban Planning, Real Estate, and allied subjects. For an Architect, REUIM is the best option.
ACM may seem like a safe option as it is an old course. However, REUIM also has a great placement record.
Which is better to do an MBA Vel Tech University or SRM?
My brother is from SRM, So I think I can give you some insight into the institute.
I have visited VelTech and found it to be an unappealing college. And if we talk about SRM for an MBA, then definitely it is a great deal, with so many events encouraging students to broaden their horizons. Vel tech is less expensive than SRM, Although the quality of education is better in SRM in comparison to Vel tech.
Here is a brief comparison of Vel Tech and SRM.
| Parameter | Vel Tech University | SRM |
| Course Fee | 1.81 lakhs | 7 lakhs |
| Average CTC | 17 LPA | - |
| Highest CTC | 28 LPA | 35 LPA |
| Major recruiters | Infosys, Amazon, Byju’s Dell | Cognizant, TCS, Wipro |
So, you should go for SRM and if you want, you can also consult any senior of Vel tech because this will give you a better picture and decision-making will be easy for you.
Which is better, MIT SOM or Indira Institute of Management?
My sister did her bachelor’s degree in engineering from MIT and MBA from Indira Institute of Management. So, I have some ideas about both the institutes.
Among the above institutes, Indira Institute of Management is much better than MIT SOM for a management degree, considering the overall development of students in Indira Institute of Management.
The table below gives a comparison of the institutes.

Comparison:
- MIT is considered to be one of the best colleges for B.Tech in Pune. But MIT School of Management is not up to the standard of the Indira Institute of Management.
- MBA in Indira Institute of Management has a much better curriculum and infrastructure for the overall development of its students.
- Indira Institute of Management conducts an excellent soft-skill program, which includes life problem solving, consulting selling, negotiation skills, etc in the MBA curriculum, which is very helpful for students.
Considering the above factors, it is safe to say Indira Institute of Management is a much better option for MBA or PGPM than MIT SOM, with an overall better placement record.

Are the NISM exams tough?
The difficulty level of the NISM exams ranges between average to moderately high. For some exams, the contents and way of testing could be more complicated than the others.
- The NISM Investment Advisor Exams (Level 1 and 2) contain more practicals as compared to the other courses.
- On the other hand, exams like the NISM (Series VI) Depository Operations Certification Examination contain a very high share of theory portion in their syllabus.
To pass a module, you need to secure a minimum of 60% in most of the module exams. Also the exams come with a negative marking of 25% per question.
Very few exams like NISM (Series VA) Mutual Funds Distributors Certification Examination have a minimum passing marks criteria of 50% and they do not have any negative marking.
You can take the help of test prep training for practice papers as they will provide you with good resources.
How is TAPMI Management Institute in Manipal for doing a MBA from India for someone with 2.5 years of IT experience?
Well, it also depends on what your other options are. So I can't tell you if you should choose TAPMI.
But it's worth it if you can handle high academic rigour (which I assume is the case at every top b school) and can stay on campus for two years without going home often.
Here, you can expect a beautiful site, a well-thought-out programme, good job placements, and a quiet last 4-5 months of your MBA. TAPMI is known for placing most of its students in IT jobs, so if you come from an IT background, you have an advantage over your peers.
