BHU and AMU are sister concerns. Both institutes carry forward the same legacy so I don’t think they are comparable. 

People usually want to believe that these biased universities will divide Hindus and Muslims and worsen their relations. But that’s not the case.

Both universities are loyal to their cause- Education. 

As an AMU student, my sister loves her university. She has never visited BHU but she is sure BHU students love their university equally as well. 

So I don’t think the two universities stand a chance of comparison when they both are equally good.

One cannot easily choose IIM Ahmedabad over elite business schools abroad like Harvard Business Schools. But if one actually does then the main reasons could be

1. Long term market: If you are willing to work in India for the long term, then IIM Ahmedabad is for you. This is because every business school provides best access to domestic markets. So if you want to stay in India IIM Ahmedabad offers the best access throughout Indian Markets.

2. Opportunities at fairly less cost: India is a developing country and its market is slowly coming at par with the US market. So if you are looking for an investment less earn more opportunity, IIM Ahmedabad is a good option.

3. Personal Convenience: It is not an exaggeration to say the quality of life you will be experiencing in your home country with your family will never be the same as that of abroad.

So both the B Schools are fantastic options. It depends on your convenience which to choose. If you wish to stay in India, IIM Ahmedabad is for you. But if you want to explore the US market go for any elite business school abroad.

Both are among the top ten colleges in India. But if I had to make the decision for an MBA in finance, I would choose IIM Kozhikode because of the following reasons:

• General Management over a specialized MBA

• The best recruiters select more candidates from IIM Kozhikode than SPJIMR.

• IIM Kozhikode has the upper hand when it comes to campus life. Although the fees of both institutes are somewhat similar, campus life is far better at IIM Kozhikode.

• The IIM tag is in itself a credit.

SPJIMR has its own features. Located in the metropolitan area, SPJIMR has more connections than IIM Kozhikode. 

Also, the placements for finance specifically are better than IIM Kozhikode. In fact, some companies don’t even get to participate in placement drives as the finance batch gets placed quickly. 

So you will end up looking good in both institutes, just focus on your own convenience.

Most people consider IIM Kozhikode a better option than MDI Gurgaon. But in reality, MDI has many lesser-known features that might help you take the right decision:

• MDI Gurgaon has the best faculty in finance so it’s the best option for the finance stream.

• The curriculum taught here is very much similar to the skills sought by the industry 

• A large number of students get into consulting companies. More than 10 companies visit MDI every year.

• Low batch strength, which means proper attention to each student

• The No Reservation policy makes the admissions here solely merit-based

Although IIM Kozhikode has some excellent features, MDI Gurgaon lacks the public eye so it’s necessary you know its reality before blindly trusting IIM Kozhikode.

If there is something unique to every IIM, then it’s their diverse environments. IIM Kozhikode has its own unique environment. 

I think the most distinguishing characteristic of IIM Kozhikode has to be its resort-like infrastructure and location. One of my friends attended the Backwaters event in 2010. She narrated her experience of the same saying her 3-day stay at IIM Kozhikode was no less than a vacation. The college is seated at the top of a hill overlooking lush green fields. The view from the top is fantastic and you won’t regret coming here even a bit.

Both IIM Calcutta and IIM Kozhikode are top-notch management institutes in India. The majority of people claim that IIMC is better than IIMK just because it has a strong alumni connection and extremely experienced faculty.

But don’t make your decision solely based on this. Keep your aim in mind before deciding.

Choose IIM Calcutta if-

• You want your personality to be developed to the maximum extent

• You have a knack for Maths and Analytical Skills Development 

Choose IIM Kozhikode if-

• You want to be in the top 1% of the class

• You prefer an institute with less dynamism 

• If you are average at Maths and Analytical Skills Development 

The final decision is yours to make.

It’s normal for you to get confused between DU and IPU. Both are well-reputed universities with high cutoffs. Choosing one of them can be made easy if you go through these differences:

1. Colleges: DU colleges are famous for their high cutoffs. If you have scored 97 and above you will surely get admission to an A-grade college. But anything below 97 (even a 95) will send you to a B-grade college. So it’s better to study in an A-grade college at IPU than in a B-grade college of DU.

2. Admission criteria: At DU, admissions are based on board exams, whereas at IPU you will have to give a CET (Common Entrance Test).

3. Internships: All the universities recommend internships but IPU has made it compulsory. These internships not only build your CV but might also give you full-time jobs.

4. Freelancing: At IPU most students prefer freelancing or part-time jobs to support their profession. The classes end early around 1 pm. Whereas in DU the timings of the classes vary a lot due to which you cannot spare time for freelancing much.

5. Fees: Pursuing a professional course at IPU will cost you more than that at DU. This is because of its excellent infrastructure and facilities.

6. Specialisation: DU is well known for its theoretical subjects like English, History, and Geography. Whereas IPU specializes in vocational courses like B. Tech, Journalism and Mass Communication, BBA, BCA, and MBA.

These points stand to prove that IPU is a better option if you are pursuing a professional course.
