How were your 2 years at IIM Lucknow?
Only two issues were present during your two years at IIM Lucknow, but they were enough to ruin your life.
- Placement Group:
The placement team at IIM Lucknow is utterly corrupt on a divine level. It is the only IIM where our placement report has never been revealed. Not even the funded numbers released by IIM I & K.
Despite IIM L, being one of the top ten B schools in the country, the overall average and median package offered was INR 31.03 LPA and INR 29 LPA, respectively. After more than a month, 10% of the batch remains unplaced. Deserving candidates are doomed in a system dominated by such greedy and unethical individuals.
- Faculty:
The next two years of your education will be spent being tormented by extra assignments whenever a good company visits campus by money-minded, egoistic professors who know nothing and teach an outdated curriculum. Around 10% of professors are divine.
Another 20% are somewhat average and do a good job of teaching, but they are limited by the useless curriculum. However, 70% of the professors are just pitiful; they don't know anything and don't know how to teach it. They are only concerned with making commissions on anything they can in order to sell businesses their useless MDPs.
Can I prepare in 1 month for a B.Ed entrance exam at DU?
The requirements for B.Ed admission to DU are as follows:
Written Exam:
If you work smartly and analyze the pattern of questions asked in previous examinations, devote a focused time period to preparation, followed by sufficient practice tests, you can certainly clear in one month.
If you are well-versed in your subject matter, there is very little required for you to do. Hard work comes after good fortune. So, first and foremost, your planning should be smart, and then, you must work and prepare well beyond the planned strategy. Each of us has our own set of self-beliefs and abilities. Thus, you do not have to compare yourself with any other person. Just believe in yourself and go ahead.
Interview:
During the interview, a panel of teachers/interviewers/professors will fire off all sorts of questions at you, including subject questions, psychology questions, general knowledge questions, confidence check questions, and, most importantly, your honesty, which is one of the most important aspects of being a good teacher. A good strategy, a lot of planning, focused work, confidence as well as a strong belief in yourself, are required.

Is IIM Calcutta an "IIM Ahmedabad" rejected college?
I think comparing both IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta is doing injustice to these colleges. Both the IIMs are excellent at their own level.
If you consider the rankings then IIM Ahmedabad tips the list and IIM Calcutta comes next. But do rankings really matter that much? It might be possible that a certain college is on top of the list but inconvenient for you and a certain college is second in the list and is best suited for you.
I have seen friends who have rejected offers from IIM Ahmedabad and went for IIM Calcutta because it suited their needs better.
Some special features of IIM Calcutta that IIM Ahmedabad does not have are:
-
A finance lab with a Bloomberg terminal
-
Top notch finance faculty
-
CEMS-MiM programme (Masters in Management programme ranked 7th in the world)
So yes IIM Ahmedabad is the best IIM but IIM Calcutta is also not an ordinary one. Choose the one that suits your needs best rather than which ranks the most.

The college management may ask full-time students to choose their specialization area before their placements for summer internships which are usually 3-4 months of joining even though technically you can choose your major by the end of the first year. My acquaintance had to choose his major before his summer internship placements.
If you choose PGDM Full time, then you will be able to choose your specialization from:

Which is the best branch in VSSUT, Burla, Odisha?
VSSUT is a great place for UG studies. But a degree from this college isn’t sufficient in most cases. So it is usually better to opt for higher studies at a prestigious college.
- For an M.Tech or MS, CS/IT are the best branches. This is because they offer endless opportunities in research and jobs.
- For an MBA, Production Engineering is the right branch. Its curriculum contains elements of Management Studies. Also, scoring high grades is comparatively easier.
- For UPSC, Economics, Law, etc, any branch is equally suitable.
- To grab high paying jobs, Mechanical and Production are the best. But there is a fierce competition as core companies hire just 2-3 students each year.
- For a CS/IT student who participates in Competitive Programming, goes for ACM ICPC, and maintains good grades, getting off campus placements in Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc. isn’t very difficult. A forum has been set up for competitive programming where the seniors provide good guidance on problem solving.
Make sure to go for a branch that interests you. This does play a huge role in deciding your career prospects.
Is an MBA from XLRI worth it?
There are various parameters through which it can be measured whether XLRI is worth it or not.
-
Money: You will be able to appreciate it more if you consider network and learning a part of it. About 200 students cannot afford the fee and must take out a loan to pay it to find it well worth it.
-
Time: There is also an opportunity cost involved. It's worthwhile if you believe that peer learning and classroom learning are a good use of time.
-
Effort: The true worth of your efforts becomes clear only after you see the results. Every year in XL, over 500 people recognize that value and trust their experience, and another group of students embarks on the same journey to discover their own.
-
Sacrifice: At various ages, people make various sacrifices in order to pursue their XLRI dream. Some postpone a wedding, some drop out of their campus placement, and some resign from a job they're not sure about. This has less to do with XLRI and more to do with the decision to pursue management.
You can't go wrong with XLRI if you believe a Management course will make a significant positive difference in your life.
