How good is IIM Shillong as compared to IIFT Delhi?

AJ
Arshit Jain Posted On : January 27th, 2023
Indian Institute of Management Nagpur

It is true that IIFT Delhi has a strong reputation and a good placement record. Over the past three years, students have consistently earned an average salary package of INR 20 LPA or higher. In the latest placement drive for the 2020-22 batch of the MBA (IB) program, IIFT Delhi achieved 100% placements with 82 companies participating. The highest international CTC was INR 80 LPA, the highest domestic CTC was INR 46.5 LPA, and the average CTC was INR 25.16 LPA. Approximately 25% of the students were placed in the consulting domain.

When choosing a business school, it's important to consider factors such as placements, alumni support, exposure to the industry, and available resources like libraries and research papers. Location can also be a factor, as being in Delhi may provide more opportunities for exploration and connection with potential employers compared to Shillong. Ultimately, it's important to weigh all of these factors and choose the school that best meets your needs and goals.

What is the difference between the north and south campus colleges of DU?

PD
Preeti Deshmukh Posted On : October 12th, 2022
BA from University of Delhi

There is no discernible difference.

1-The faculty levels on both campuses are the same. Teachers on the south campus are more helpful and friendly, but there are a few good teachers on the north campus as well.

2-When it comes to PG or food, the South campus is far too cheap. In the south, one can find very good affordable accommodation. North is a little pricey because there are too many colleges, which increases the demand for goods and pgs, and thus prices.

3-The crowd in each college is nearly mixed and uniform. Although the north campus receives more applications from students from UP, Bihar, Haryana, and Rajasthan because it is overrated and hyped among people, all mostly SC, ST, and OBC, sports quota, and ECA quota students go there if they get it anyhow. 

4-Colleges do not provide degrees; DU does. So, regardless of which college you attend, you will receive the same degree.

5-Placements- this is an extremely important factor. The majority of placements are reserved for Bcom and Economics Honours students. Placements are available at LSR, SRCC, Hindu, Venky, Hansraj, KMC, and Ramjas, but only for Bcom or Economics students. Other department students may be offered the internship, but the pay is insufficient.

6- Restrooms and drinking water- The restrooms in each college are clean and well-maintained. Clean and sanitary. However, if you drink a lot of water, you should only go to North Campus if you can buy a bottle for each day because the water there is too salty. 


There is no distinguishable difference between the two campuses. So choose a college that is easy to get to, as the metro has raised its fares, and where PG, hostels, and flats are reasonably priced, as you will be spending three years there.

Is architecture really good at NITT and NIT Calicut?

AT
Akashi Thirukonda Posted On : August 27th, 2021
B.Tech Chemical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Calicut (2019)

Architecture students at NIT Trichy are extremely talented and hardworking. The campus has a competitive environment. The whole course is more about learning by doing rather than mugging up theories. 

A career in Architecture requires you to learn from an already established firm or architect and then go ahead to carve your niche. My friends have shared really positive experiences about these kinds of internships, so my guess is that at NIT Trichy you give you the proper exposure. 

Parameters NIT Calicut NIT Trichy
Tuition Fee INR 16,000 INR 72,500
Placement Percentage 73.5% 92%
Average Package INR 11.57 LPA INR 11.58 LPA

You must know that the field of architecture is not weak-hearted and you must possess good control over your body NIT Calicut is also one of the good colleges for architecture. But the ultimate decision lies in your hand.

Is it worth doing an MBA from SIBM Pune, SCMHRD Pune or NMIMS Mumbai after 2 years of job experience in IT?

SB
Soutrik Bose Posted On : May 17th, 2021
MBA Marketing, Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Pune

Yes, it’s worth it. In some cases, it is even essential to do an MBA after having 2 years of work experience in IT. 

  • There are different kinds of people in IT sectors, some who like the technicalities of IT and some don't like that. People who like the technicalities of IT will settle in just a couple of years by learning to code brilliantly and achieve their goals. 
  • Other people are just the opposite; they are always left feeling that they are missing something. MBA adds value to your resume and helps you to change your career. 

I know a few people from SIBM Pane, so I can tell you about the MBA program offered by them. 

  • My friends at the institute have peers who come with work experience in the IT sector and are going to be working in big FMCG brands in the summers. 
  • SIBM Pune had an average CTC of around 20.14 LPA. The average internship stipend offered in the summer internship for 2018-20 was around 1.66 lacs for just two months and above 55% of students got offers for 1.5 lacs around. The highest stipend offered was 3 lacs. 

Also, MBA can be a much-needed break for many with corporate careers. It’s a fun experience, you will get to learn a lot through many corporate interactions.

What should I choose: NITK CSE or IIIT Hyderabad CSE?

SS
Savi Sharma Posted On : July 28th, 2023

The decision of choosing one between NITK CSE and IIIT Hyderabad CSE depends on what kind of college life you are looking for. To be frank, if you want a dynamic campus life with an equally good but light curriculum, NIT Surathkal is better than IIIT Hyderabad because the matter has a very rigid campus life that focuses entirely on academics. NIT Surathkal will give you a huge baggage of memories, a good job, and some good connections. But IIIT Hyderabad will help you become a person of responsibility whose only focus is building a career. 

NIT Surathkal brings you together with people from all corners of the country which makes the experience better. IIIT Hyderabad on the other hand has only two branches - CSE and ECE. So the former may not make you a very talented CS engineer but will surely develop your personality as a whole.

So the best way to decide is to analyze your inclination, and then make an informed decision.

Which institute is better, IISER or NISER?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : July 17th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

No matter where you ask or look, no one’s going to tell you which is better, IISER or NISER because both are equally good for undergraduate studies.

To ensure learning directly about your field of interest and look for the professors working in it, the best way is to look into the research being done at the IISER and NISER. Additionally, talking to the alumni and going through the course structure will result in a more informed decision.

You will not have any students or professors with this IIT-NIT difference mindset because deep down they are well aware that the institutes have the same goals, infrastructure, and opportunities.

Also, I find it quite lame when people compare IISER and NISER claiming the former is at par with IITs while the latter is at the level of NITs just because of the first letter they share.

Which is best, FMS, XLRI, or IIM Lucknow?

PT
Pragya Tripathi Posted On : January 16th, 2023
DTU'20 | CAT'21: 99.63%ile | XAT'22: 99.68%ile

Making a decision about a school is similar to creating a regression model, where the features serve as the parameters and the coefficients represent the students' preferences.

Batch size: The placement at XLRI Delhi is combined with the JSR batch. As a result, the combined batch size (XLRI JSR BM + XLRI JSR HR + XLRI Delhi BM) is quite large but still significantly smaller than IIM Lucknow. FMS is the clear winner in terms of batch size. As a result, FMS > XLRI > IIML.

Group of peers: This is a highly debatable and relative parameter. XLRI has no reservations, and some argue that people are chosen solely on merit, whereas FMS and IIML have more than 50% reservations. As a result, a better crowd.

The CAT score: It is extremely important to FMS. You'll mostly find a more educated crowd there. IIM Lucknow has very diverse selection criteria, similar to IIM Bangalore. In their selection criteria, they consider gender and academic diversity, previous academic records, work experience, and so on, ensuring a consistent and diverse crowd. Now it all comes down to personal preference, FMS > IIML > XLRI.

Tag: IIM Lucknow has an old IIM tag and is well-known worldwide. XLRI and FMS are both very old institutes with strong brand identities. Personal preference once again. IIM > XLRI > FMS.

Campus Life: FMS has no hostels and a very small campus. You're basically a day student there. IIML = XLRI > FMS.

Finance: Lucknow has more financial opportunities than the other two in terms of profiles available and companies visiting campus. FMS >= IIML.

Is the Sardar Patel College of Engineering in any way comparable to VJTI for the mechanical branch?

AS
Arjun Sethi Posted On : July 6th, 2021
B.Tech Electronics Engineering, Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (2017)

Comparing the mechanical branches of SPCE and VJTI, VJTI is the definite winner among the two, considering almost all factors like branding, faculty, peers, placement, etc. Mechanical Engineering is one of the best branches of VJTI.

The points below give a brief overview of VJTI and state several reasons supporting the choice.

  • The brand name of VJTI is much more reputed than SPCE and is considered to be a badge for engineering aspirants. VJTI is much more known to foreign universities and institutes than SPCE.
  • The average IQ of students from VJTI is much more than that of SPCE, as evident from students’ reviews of the two institutes. Most likely, students in SPCE have a lower thinking ability than that of VJIT.
  • In VJTI, there are clubs namely SAE, Inferno, SRA engaged in a lot of technical, cultural, and social interactive activities among students.
  • Mechanical Engineering of VJIT has some of the best teachers in the institute. Some of them, for example, Dr. Tendolkar, Dr. Deshpande, Dr. Kulkarni, etc, have exceptional skills in teaching their respective fields.
  • In VJTI, there are very few teachers who are not quite good. But, in SPCE, the mechanical engineering branch actually lacks a sufficient number of good teachers, some of whose lectures are sometimes confusing.
  • As usual, VJTI tops in terms of placement of the two institutes by a high margin. Most companies offering jobs in Mechanical Engineering at VJTI offer excellent packages to students. In SPCE Mechanical Engineering, the placement scenario is average, with a lesser overall placement percentage.

Therefore, SPCE is in no way comparable to VJTI, the latter being a much better institute in terms of all considerable factors.

XLRI or IIM Lucknow?

ES
Ekta Singh Posted On : February 13th, 2023
Student, traveler, foodie, and lazy.

Comparing XLRI and IIM Lucknow in terms of placements can be difficult unless you have personally gone through the process at either institution. Both institutions have a variety of firms that come to recruit from them. However, it depends on your career aspirations and interests. If your focus is on HR, XLRI is the better option. However, if your interests lie in other areas such as marketing and finance, IIM Lucknow may be a better fit as it has more firms that regularly visit across these domains, particularly in consulting.

In terms of infrastructure, IIM Lucknow has better on-campus facilities for both recreation and academics. However, it is worth noting that the infrastructure at both institutions should not present significant problems.

Finally, when considering the alumni network, the IIM tag opens more doors. XLRI is a well-respected brand, but the sheer number of IIM Lucknow alumni in the job market makes it stand out.

In conclusion, the decision between XLRI and IIM Lucknow largely depends on whether or not you want to study HR. If you do, XLRI is the better option, otherwise, IIM Lucknow is a better choice in terms of placements, infrastructure, and alumni network.
