ISB Hyderabad's 1 year MBA program or Top 25 US B schools 2 year MBA program? Which is worth in the long run in terms of opportunities and pay package?

SG
Srinivas Gunda Posted On : January 30th, 2023
Audit Senior at BDO USA, LLP (2019–present)

You cannot logically compare US B Schools with ISB Hyderabad considering the difference in the quality of peer ground and overall education.

To give a better understanding, compare the ROI of both the B Schools. ISB Hyderabad MBA fees are around 24-28 Lakhs per year and considering the placement scenario, you cannot get a package of more than 15-18 Lakhs. On the other hand, the average fee of a US B School is around 120-200k Dollars and the salary one can expect from a B School is 120k. The ROI in the latter case is much better.

However, these ROI calculations have overlooked one part. As an International student, you'll need a job with a firm that sponsors h1b visas. This reduces 70% of coveted jobs. Now the hunt for a suitable job is tougher and you have to also hope that you win the h1b lottery. If you are unable to do so you might end up in India with a heavy loan of 80-90k Lakhs with an average salary of 15-20 LPA.

So we can say that US B Schools are always the better option than ISB Hyderabad but the risks involved are tenfold.

How is IIM Calcutta for the advanced program in data science, 1 year certification course? Is it better than the ISB Hyderabad course and IIITB PGD in data analytics?

AR
Ayush Raj Posted On : November 24th, 2022
PGDM from Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (Graduated 1994)

In my opinion, the IIM APDS is just an average course. ISB Hyderabad course is much better. It’s better to do Data Science courses from technical universities rather than Management colleges like IIM. Also, the IIM APDS course is quite expensive and more like a BA course than Data Science. It focuses more on Business Mathematics/ Business case study discussion than how to explore a data set.

ISBs course best among these courses because it has all the things that are required:

  • Brand

  • Faculty

  • Industry Connect

  • Curriculum

  • Alumni

Also this course has more time for all the subjects and capstone projects too. The only drawback is the high fees.

How is MDI gurgaon's PGP-IM Programme?

HS
Harshal Sonawanw Posted On : February 21st, 2023
PGDMS, PGMFM in Master of Commerce & Bachelor of Commerce, Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (Graduated 1995)

MDI Gurgaon’s PGP-IM Program is one of the most coveted Management courses of the institute. It has several features that distinguish it from other regular PGP courses offered at top B Schools. My brother opted for this course out of many and he listed the following reasons that compelled him to go for the program 

  • The PGP-IM students of MDI Gurgaon are offered an MBA degree from ESCP Europe and this is a major turning point in steering their career globally.
  • The admission criteria of the programs have witnessed slight changes with a work experience of 2 years being a compulsion. This is mainly because most European companies prefer prior work experience and hence it becomes easier to get jobs then.
  • The work experience requirement has made IM students of MDI Gurgaon in demand for Consulting jobs globally as well as locally.
  • The course is dynamic and requires you to go to respective ESCP campuses across London, Madrid, Paris, and Berlin for a 4-month term post which you do your internships, either in Europe or back in India.
  • Getting internships is not difficult at all and almost everyone gets an internship easily. 60% of students take internships in Europe, and 40% take them in India.
  • If you fail to get or yourself don’t take the PPO from your internship companies, you can sit for Final placements along with PGDM students without any bias.

It’s the above points that strongly assert the worth of the IM program at MDI Gurgaon. As it’s graduate you are not only an MDI alumnus but also an ESCP alumnus. You can use both brand names to your advantage. Choosing MDI is like investing for 2 years for a benefit of 30-35 years. So the brand name and alumni base definitely matter more than just a random IIM tag.

How is the BSc course at Christ University, Bangalore?

A
Admin Posted On : May 16th, 2024

I am a BSc. student at Christ University. My experience of pursuing this course at Christ has been a mixed bag.

The faculty for BSc. at Christ is average at best, and the facilities offered to students are not up to the mark. One can approach the respective subject teacher if one wishes to study and research in that particular field. 

Some events organized by the university which are related to this field, are quite good in all honesty. Another thing is that Christ University imposes a lot of rules and regulations on students, which can be very burdensome at times.

Overall, Christ University offers a decent BSc. program, and you can opt for the same if you do not come across better options.

What is the scope of doing Post Graduation Diploma in Applied Statistics from IGNOU?

AC
Anwesha Chaudhary Posted On : October 17th, 2022
Currently studying PGDAST (Applied statistics) from IGNOU

PGDAST is concerned with applied statistics. As a result, it requires fewer proofs. There are more theorems, formulas, and methods to employ. While a Masters's program contains numerous proofs as well as an applied component. However, PGDAST will undoubtedly improve your statistical knowledge. Furthermore, statistics have numerous applications in computer science and big data/data research. As a result, it will undoubtedly improve your career prospects. This is especially true given the scarcity of computer engineers who are also statisticians. And statisticians are in high demand in information technology firms. So you have an advantage over others.

It does not entitle you to study higher mathematics or statistics at any Indian university or IIT. Because PGDAST is only a one-year program, as opposed to MSC, which is a two-year program. PGDAST can also be completed by graduates from any discipline. While a Master's in Statistics requires a minimum three-year Bsc degree in Math/statistics. The PGDAST program is a diploma program.

You should go for it if you want to learn statistics. It will undoubtedly be a rewarding experience. One year of effort is not excessive. You must be consistent. To be eligible to sit for term-end exams, you must complete assignments. Even if you do not consider the benefits of computer science, it will almost certainly foster a new way of thinking.

Which is better for UPSC CSE PREPARATION BA or BA Hons in political science from DU?

YD
Yuvraj Dua Posted On : October 7th, 2022
M.A. in Politics & International Relations, Jawaharlal Nehru University

BA and BA Honors are both excellent choices for UPSC CSE. It will aid you in your preparation for the Prelims and Main exams.

In BA course, you must study three different subjects, such as political science, history, and geography, which means that 50% of the syllabus has already been covered, and if you choose Political Science as an optional subject, another 40% has already been covered. So taking a BA course will improve your chances. 

Now, moving on to the BA (Hons), you will study political science in depth, which will help you in the Mains because, as we all know, the difficulty level of optional is higher than the Bachelor level but lower than the Master's level, so it will benefit you greatly. However, because you will only be studying two subjects in your bachelor's programme, you will have to study the third subject on your own.

Thus, you should pursue a BA General course. However, as everyone knows, UPSC is all about extreme hard work, luck, proper planning, guidance, and several other factors. Make your own decision and put in your best effort.

What is the credit system of IGNOU? How do I select a subject?

NS
Neeraj Sethi Posted On : October 18th, 2022
M.A in Public Administration, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

If you apply for a BSc (Maths), for example, it means you want to study math.

  • You must choose two elective subjects from the four available ( Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and Life Science).

  • To major in math, you must complete at least 40 credits in math.

  • If you want to major in math, you must take MTE 1, 2, and 4-9. These subjects will earn you 28 points. MTE 10 to 14 can be used to obtain the remaining 12 credits (for a minimum of 40 credits) to 20 credits (for a maximum of 48 credits in a subject).

  • The three-year course requires 96 credits, with 32 credits required each year.

  • Your foundation courses will total 16 credits in your first year. And you'll need 32 credits in a year. To meet that requirement, you can take MTE 1,2,4,5,6, or you can drop one paper and replace it with a second elective subject of your choice.

  • You have 8 credits for foundation courses in the second year. The remaining 32 credits must be satisfied by Math papers and the second elective.

Electives and application-oriented courses are available in the third year (AOC). AOC requires 16 or 8 credits in this case. This is because elective courses can take either 56 or 64 credits over the course of the semester. As previously stated, if you aim for a minimum of 40 credits, you only need 56 credits from electives and can have 16 credits from AOC. Alternatively, a maximum of 48 elective credits will leave you with 8 credits for AOC.

There are some subjects that must be taken together, such as MTE 4 and MTE 5. Subjects from the first year can be taken in the second or third year, but not in the first year. There are courses that have prerequisites and corequisites. Please make sure you take those so that you can study easily.

Applying online eliminates the possibility of accidentally taking the same subject twice. You also don't have to be concerned about credit fulfillment or subjects that must be taken concurrently.
