Is it all right to choose IIM, I or K over XLRI just for the IIM brand?
I will never suggest you go for IIM Kozhikode over XLRI. Because of the establishment of new IIMs, the impact of its brand has deteriorated. IIM Indore and IIM Kozhikode aren’t at the same level. Apart from IIM ABC, the only good IIM is Lucknow. If your academic records are average then only you can consider XLRI, that too is a great choice. If you are financially weak, then FMS is the one for you.
However, the harsh reality is many companies still prefer IIM students over other B-schools. This partiality results in MBA aspirants flocking to IIMs. IIM's. If you look carefully, XLRI too is an excellent institute and is second only to IIM ABC and FMS. Additionally, those seeking specialization in HR, should not loot beyond XLRI.
So, don’t reject XLRI BM (Jamshedpur) except for IIM A, B, C, and L. One may prefer L over XL because of the IIM tag, else both are similar.
In my opinion, the preference order should be
IIM A=B=C>>L>XLRI>FMS>>IIM I>IIM K
Which is better - KIIT or Manipal University?
Manipal University will be the better option. It offers good academics. For branches like CSE, IT, ECE, EEE, Mech, etc. MIT can be compared to some NITs. Admission to the institute is based on merit. So, the student crowd is decent. It has a decent placement record. The recent highlights of Manipal University Jaipur placements show an average CTC of INR 5.43 LPA.
Overall, placements, academics, alumni base, and campus life makes MIT one of the best private universities in the country.
Which one is better NLU Delhi or NLSIU?
There is no doubt that NLS is the superior institute. It has many advantages in terms of ranking, exposure, and faculty. Even though NLUD is making significant progress and its infrastructure can be considered better than NLS but still it lags behind in certain aspects.
- NLSIU has one of the best law libraries in the country. It also has a pretty strong alumni network that would take NLUD a minimum of 15 years to replicate.
- NLU Delhi was founded recently and has already established itself as one of the greatest law schools in the country.
- I would strongly advise you to attend NLS Bangalore if you have the opportunity to do so. My cousin who pursued a course from NLS Bangalore is now working in a reputable firm for over 2 years.
The placement details for NLSIU Bangalore for the year 2020 is mentioned in the table below:
| Particulars | Statistics |
| Total Students | 80 |
| Students registered for Placements | 58 |
| Highest Package | INR 18 Lakhs per annum |
| Lowest package | INR 15 Lakhs per annum |
| Top Recruiters | L&L Partners, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas, Trilegal, ICICI Bank, Societe Generale etc |
People may advise you to attend NLUD as it is closer to your home, but you will learn, explore, and enjoy your college years more if you go to a different city, away from your parents, and discover everything on your own.
Which is better out of DTU, NSIT, VIT Vellore, BITS (any campus), NIT (top 3) and IIIT (Hyderabad and Delhi), placement-wise and education-wise?
On the basis of placements, I would rank the aforementioned institutes in the following order
Bits Pilani, Pilani Campus>|IT H>Bits Goa>Bits Hyderabad>Top 3 Nits>|IT Delhi/NSUT>DTU
BITS Pilani has a better placement scenario than IIIT Hyderabad although its average package is less than IIIT Hyderabad, this is because BITS has a number of branches and the average package is calculated after considering the packages of all branches whereas IIIT Hyderabad has only two branches ie CS and ECE. Both these branches are top branches so automatically its average package becomes higher than BITS Pilani. If you compare the placements of the CS branch alone, BITS Pilani will have the upper hand. However, if you want to pursue a career in research in CS, ten choosing IIIT Hyderabad will offer better opportunities. Basically, IIIT Hyderabad will make you a better coder whereas BITS Pilani will make you a better engineer.
It's important to note that the above ranking is based on placements alone and if you consider the research culture, then NITs will fare better than BITS mainly because they are government institutes and receive huge funds solely for the purpose of research.
Which is better NIT or DTU?
I will say that DTU is better than NIT unless you are getting NIT Trichy. It’s the superior location of DTU in the capital and it’s an excellent infrastructure that makes it a better choice than most NITs. I am not saying NITs have poor infrastructure but they cannot be compared to DTU.
DTU has given birth to many legends, one such being Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma.
The average package lies in the range of INR 5–20 LPA. The faculty pool is also great here as most of the professors are PhD holders. DTU also has a great research culture. DTU also has excellent research facilities and a great peer pool. Here are some important points to consider
- Engifest, the official cultural fest of DTU is the second-largest college fest in North India.
- Great infrastructure in the form of a lush green campus and an open-air theater.
- DTU average package is INR 15.16 LPA and the DTU highest package recorded this year was INR 64.23 LPA.
- The peer pool quality is great as you will be interacting with the best minds in the country.
So, we can conclude that DTU is a better option and also offers a better college life experience than NIT.
Which is better AIIMS or JIPMER?
Although both JIPMER and AIIMS are elite medical colleges in India, I believe AIIMS is slightly better than JIPMER. Here are some common differences that can be pointed out
- JIPMER has a higher intake than AIIMS so the student-teacher ratio is also higher. This further results in a higher student-patient ratio when one patient is examined for a class.
- AIIMS has a bigger hospital, more patient flow, and better equipment thereby enhancing the overall learning experience. In AIIMS students are left to study on their own and academics aren’t forced upon them while in JIPMER the teachers teach a lot of theory and practice.
- AIIMS refers most general and simple cases to other hospitals so you won’t be able to see a variety of cases while in JIPMER, you see all types of cases.
- AIIMS has better research facilities and funding so if you are willing to do research projects, AIIMS is better for you.
- JIPMER offers extensive internships that teach a lot and provide hands-on experience and clinical practice. AIIMS clinical testing and internships aren’t that good.
- Both JIPMER and AIIMS have a strong alumni network and reservations for post-graduation courses that give you ample opportunities for courses and jobs after finishing your studies.
- Delhi being a metropolitan city has better recreational activities while Pondicherry is the best place if you want a peaceful and calm environment.
- Pulse by AIIMS is the largest intercollegiate medical festival in the country while Spandan by JIPMER is probably the second largest. Pulse definitely has better cultural activities while Spandan definitely has better sporting ones.
- AIIMS has better post-graduation and super specialty courses.
Overall, both are excellent institutes and if you even have a choice between AIIMS and JIPMER, then go for AIIMS.
Which is better NIT Calicut or NIT Surat for mechanical?
If you want to study mechanical engineering, I would recommend NIT Surat without a doubt. NIT Surat specializes in mechanical engineering. Let me share some details I got to know about while researching.
- It is the most organized and well-established department here.
- You could tell the difference between the faculties of the mechanical department and the others.
- The majority of the faculty are PhDs from prestigious IITs and well experienced in their particular fields.
- Furthermore, there are numerous mechanical clubs that are well established.
- So, in addition to excellent classroom teaching, you would gain hands-on experience on practical projects.
| Categories | NIT Calicut | NIT Surat |
| Total course fee | 5.42 lakhs | 5.63 lakhs |
| Placement rate | 85% | 90% |
| Average salary package | 8.1 lakhs | 12 lakhs |
| Top recruiters | ABB, ADP, Amadeus, amdocs, Ashok Leyland, Bajaj Auto, CapGemini. | Airtel, Ashok Leyland, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, DE Shaw, EXL, Infosys |
So, if you are truly interested in mechanical engineering, I would recommend that you should not hesitate to apply to NIT Surat.
What is the difference between visual art and performing arts?
Visual Arts give a way to express feeling, emotion, opinion, or taste through visual means, for instance, photography, painting, sculpting, and drawing, etc.
On the other hand, Performing Arts have ways to express an opinion, emotion, feeling, or taste, through means of performance, like, theatre, public speech, dance, music, etc.
Which is better: IIT Hyderabad or BITS Hyderabad ?
Here we are comparing a public institute with a private one, and therefore there will be areas in which IIT-H will hold a better rating than BITS-H and vice versa. Let’s see how both the colleges perform on various aspects-
NIRF Rankings- As per latest NIRF rankings, IIT Hyderabad has been ranked as the 8th best engineering college in India and the 22nd overall. While BITS Hyderabad has been ranked 30th for engineering and 27th overall.
Course Fee- IIT Hyderabad has comparatively lower fees for its courses than BITS-H, which is one of the benefits of a public institute and a private institute normally charges a high fee for its courses.
Infrastructure- BITS Hyderabad is the newest BITS Pilani campus and therefore provides well-furnished classrooms, modern laboratory equipment, and is a well-equipped one. While IIT Hyderabad also being a relatively newer IIT has good infrastructural facilities, but BITS-H definitely holds a stronger position in this aspect.
Placements-
IIT-H: As per the latest placement data of IIT-H, in 2020 the highest package received was 60.41LPA and the second phase is yet to be completed. IN 2018-19, IIT-H recorded the highest package of 53.80LPA and an average package of 18LPA. Some of the major companies visiting the college are Accenture, Bank Of America, ISRO, Qualcomm, Infosys, Cap Gemini, Amazon, and many more.
BITS-H: As per the 2016-18 data, around 94% of the total students get placed every year. The maximum salary offered has been 14LPA, 3.6LPA being the minimum, and 5LPA being the average. Around 200 companies visit the college every year for recruiting the students. IBM, ICICI, Ola, TCS, Intel, Flipkart, Facebook, KPMG, L&T, Amazon, and many more are some of the top recruiters in the college.
So, both the colleges have advantage over the other in some aspects but both are good and well-recognised institutes of the country. An admission in any of the two would not be a bad investment and you should make your choice as per your suitability and resources.
Which one is better: IIM Lucknow or TISS HRM?
IIM Lucknow and TISS HRM are different in terms of course structure and placements. TISS HRM offers better placements in human resource management. Whereas IIM Lucknow provides better jobs in various fields like marketing, finance, general management, consulting, etc.
Specialization - HR:
If HR is your first priority, then go for TISS.
- Companies and firms prefer TISS over IIMs to recruit students for their HR vacancies. Although there might be some HR options at IIML, you will not find diverse job profiles of options in IIML.
- Located in the heart of Mumbai, TISS has fewer students. Thus, it offers good salaried HR jobs to students.
Deciding Factors:
One must take into account his/her aims and goals, before choosing between these two colleges. The following factors must be taken into consideration while choosing.
- Both the institutes provide decent salaried jobs to students. Human Resource jobs might offer less salary at the starting and midpoints. However, the salary differs from companies to companies. After gaining a good amount of experience in the field, this difference in companies will hardly matter.
- You should ask yourself if you want a revenue target-oriented job like marketing and finance or something which has less pressure like HR. HR jobs are less stressful as they don’t have such targets.
- HR work involves indirect revenue generation. The HR job starts with recruitment and after gaining experience it involves compensation management, training, and development, organization design, etc. Thus, you have to decide if you want direct or indirect involvement in revenue generation.
MBA in HR is a specialized degree thus, you may not be able to go to other fields with this degree later in your career. So, take all these factors into consideration before choosing an institute among these two.
