How was your experience at ISB Mohali in general? Did you ever feel like you should've been in Hyderabad instead?

AK
Adarsh Kumar Posted On : January 30th, 2023
MBA from Indian School of Business (2020)

My cousin belonged to the Mohali campus of ISB and during her exchange term, she observed and compared the pros and cons of both campuses. I have listed the major pros of both colleges.

ISB Hyderabad

  • Huge batch size ensures peers from a variety of backgrounds.
  • The location is helpful for the students to maintain a good social life
  • ISB Hyderabad has a wider range of student-driven clubs and committed
  • The placement presentations take place at the Hyderabad campus and Mohali students get to join through a video call only

ISB Mohali

  • ISB Mohali has very few resident faculty as it has been recently established. As a result, the institute calls in the best faculty from colleges like Wharton, UNC, and Kellogg to teach. Their pedagogy is unique and ISB Hyderabad lacks in this aspect.
  • The campus is new so the accommodation facilities are better and made to suit all the necessary requirements. These hostels have better furnishing, space, and housekeeping facilities in comparison to the hostels of ISB Hyderabad.
  • The small batch size ensures the quality over quantity belief
  • The choice of electives is done through online bidding at ISB. Hyderabad campus with its huge batch size makes it impossible for all the students to get their choice of electives. Mohali students, in turn, face no such problem because of the small batch size

ISB maintains a strict balance between both campuses and the placement statistics are a testament to that as no major differences can be observed.

Overall my cousin never regretted choosing Mohali over Hyderabad and recommends the same to everyone.

Which one is better for a B.Tech, LNMIIT Jaipur or MNIT Jaipur?

Sayantani Barman Posted On : October 9th, 2023

It's highly illogical to compare an institute of national importance namely MNIT Jaipur to an average engineering college in the same city, LNMIIT Jaipur. Here are some key differences between the institutes

  • Campus: MNIT Jaipur has a bigger campus that spreads across 320 acres while LNMIIT operates from just a 100-acre campus area with limited facilities.
  • Location: MBIT Jaipur is located in the heart of the city of Jaipur while LNMIIT is located far away from the city. MNIT students have better access to coaching, hospitals, malls, and other places to hang out.
  • Faculty: MNIT Jaipur is one of the top 5 NITs so definitely has better experienced and learned professors than LNMIIT. 
  • Placements: MNIT Jaipur is way better than LNMIIT in terms of placements. Its average package stood around INR 12.43 LPA with many big shots like Adverb, Adobe, Airtel, Amazon, Analytics Quotient (Kantar), and Apple, visiting the campus for placements.
  • Higher studies: MNIT because of its excellent brand name offers excellent opportunities for pursuing higher studies. In fact, many MNIT alumni are currently pursuing MBAs from top B Schools like IIM, IIFT, XLRI, and FMS 
  • Alumni: MNIT Jaipur was established in 1963 whereas LNMIIT was established in 2003. The former has a stronger alumni base working as directors in many government organizations and PSUs. Some even joined , private firms or became IAS, IPS, IFS, etc 
  • Fees: MNIT Jaipur BTech one year fee is around INR 1.78 Lakhs while LNMIIT Jaipur BTech one year fee is INR 3.75 Lakhs. MBIT has much lower fees and therefore offers a better ROI than LNMIIT Jaipur.

It’s safe to conclude that MNIT Jaipur is incomparable to LNMIIT in any way and ranks better than LNMIIT.

Which college should I choose for BBA among IITM Janakpuri and IMS Noida?

SG
Swati Ghose Posted On : September 8th, 2021
Studied Bachelor of Business Administration Degrees at Savitribai Phule Pune University

For a BBA course, the college you choose would not matter a lot unless it offers decent on-campus placement opportunities. My cousin has pursued a course in BBA and as per his experience, he considers it to be a highly professional course. If you perform well throughout the course then you can for sure get recruited at a reputable firm after completion. 

You have to put in the required efforts by yourself. If you are considering doing an MBA then good performance during your BBA will be helpful in the future. 

Now coming to the colleges that you have mentioned in your question, I would recommend that you opt for a BBA program at IMS, Noida. I have a few friends from the institute and according to them, the BBA course is quite great. In the 2020 placements, the highest CTC offered by the institute was 12 LPA. 

You can search about several other colleges that are situated in New Delhi or the NCR region. You can take a look at IP University, IMS Ghaziabad, and more such institutes to make sure that you go for the college that would prove to beneficial for your career.

Which one is better: a PGDM-BKFS at TAPMI or a PGDM at Great Lakes Institute of Management?

HC
Himani Chaudhary Posted On : March 9th, 2023
Delhi-ite who studied in Chennai and working in Mumbai.

If you're interested in TAPMI's BFSI-oriented course, it would be a good idea to speak with seniors of that particular program for more information. However, if you're considering TAPMI's PGDM program in general, it is a pretty good option.

Great Lakes Chennai's PGDM program is relatively new, but it's already picking up momentum. The average salary package for its second batch was around 8.75 lakhs, and companies like Coke, Airtel, Lava, Snapdeal, Amazon, HDFC, Axis, Kotak, and many others recruited from the program.

It's important to note that placements are just one aspect to consider when selecting a program. Great Lakes Chennai also boasts some of the best faculty and infrastructure in India, making it a great choice for those seeking a high-quality education.

Overall, it's important to research and considers all aspects of a program when deciding where to pursue your MBA, including the course offerings, faculty, infrastructure, and placement opportunities.

One of my friends from school is an alumnus of Great Lakes. According to him, the institute has a very good 1-year PGPM program.

There is not much difference between the faculty of Great Lakes and that of institutes like XLRI, IIMs, ISB, etc. Teachers from other countries also visit the campus. In addition to these, the methods of teaching are always being updated and enjoy high acceptance in the industry.

Which is better for an MBBS course, KMC Manipal or Mangalore?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : September 28th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Both IMC Manipal as well as Mangalore have their own unique strengths and weaknesses. In terms of academics, both colleges are almost similar with some of the most experienced teachers, and excellent clinical exposure. The only major difference you will see is that KMC Mangalore has a dispersed campus so you have to travel through a city while you study. Mangalore therefore offers a more flexible life and offers an environment that helps you become a more independent person. 

I would recommend Kasturba Medical College even over Government Institutes for MBBS training.

Which is better, NIT Jalandhar or Thapar University?

MA
Madhav Aneja Posted On : August 18th, 2023
Lived in Chandigarh, India

Anyone who has the chance to get admission to Thapar University should definitely prefer it to NIT Jalandhar. It’s one of the best private engineering colleges in India. However, Indians have many false notions regarding it just because of its high fees. In reality, Thapar University fees and BITS Pilani fees are more or less the same. 

There are false rumors circulating regarding the Thapar University admission process and many claim that it’s not transparent and there are a lot of conspiracies involved. However, it’s just like any other private university, only better than others. 

Thapar University's curriculum and faculty are excellent. So I will advise you to choose it unless you get the top 7–8 IITs, top 5 NITs, and BITS Pilani.

Which institute should I take for the CS branch, Jaypee, Noida, or NIT Goa?

JC
Jiya Chadda Posted On : August 25th, 2021
Studies CSE at NIT Warangal, 2023

It depends upon what you think you will pursue as a career. Generally, there are transparent ways into monitoring whether or not an institute is really worthy, at least when considering the CSE department. 

  • If you are more inclined towards pursuing a career as a computer programmer, then here are some websites you should definitely check out: CodeChef, HackerRank and CodeForces.
  • These competitions apparently gauge the programming skills a person generally comes with, and whether or not they will be successful in relevant aspects. 
  • These websites come with a neat leaderboard, including the ranks of coders assessed accordingly in terms of their programming skills. 
  • The major upside of these sites is that the leaderboard arrives with the name of the institute these coders belong from. 
  • This naturally helps to evaluate how reasonable an institute is. 
  • You can moreover filter the leaderboards in accordance to the institute you prefer. 
Categories CSE at Jaypee Noida CSE at NIT Goa
Course Fee 9.22 lakh 5.38 akh
Highest CTC 20 LPA 14 LPA
Average CTC 10 LPA 7 PA
Recruiting Companies Adobe, Accenture, Cognizant, KPMG, etc. Capgemini, Oracle, Wipro, IBM, etc.

Therefore, these features go on to provide more compact comparisons among institutes and can possibly help you decide which institute is worthy. However, it is best to also research more about the prospects each institute shares; and how they are in terms of placement, faculty, etc.
