Wilson College Mumbai is well-reputed. You will be awestruck by the the incredible architecture. The environment on campus is great for overall personal development. Wilson is one of the few colleges where you can freely express yourself. The professor are quie cooperative and easily approachable. You can seek out their help any time you need. You should visit the campus once to know more.
The quality of Education, the faculty pool, and even the lab facilities offered at both IITs are similar. There might be slight differences as far as internships are concerned because the top companies with coding profiles visit both IITs but the interview process is quite different.
The main reason for this difference is the location of both institutes. In the case of IIT Kharagpur, recruiters prefer taking a skype interview than personally visiting the campus because of the isolated location of the institute. This plays against the favor of IIT Kharagpur as face-to-face interviews are way better than online interviews. Online interviews do not convey the information and expressions rightly and there is a communication gap.
Companies tend to judge IITs based on rankings which depend on their respective placements. For instance, the same profile and role are offered with a higher package at IIT Kharagpur but with a lower package at other IITs.
While IIT KGP CSE has a wide scope if you have achieved a top JEE Rank and have managed to get into IIT Bombay, go for it.
I have a few friends in both institutes and from what I heard from them, NIT Kurukshetra is much better than NIT Hamirpur. Here are some obvious reasons for the same
Based on the above points, you can decide which ones are the best for you!

After having so much fun, finally, the day arrived when they started to pack their bags and start a new journey. They gave a farewell to themselves.
It all depends on how you socialize with people and make the best out of every moment of your journey.
Your percentile is not the only deciding factor for IIM Kozhikode admissions. I have seen instances where people with 99.78 percentile couldn’t make it while people with lower percentile and CGPA made it into IIM Kozhikode.
This is because IIM Kozhikode prefers a balanced score in each section and a good overall score. It even considers your 10 and 12 marks. They also pick students from versatile backgrounds.
Low CGPA is not an issue for admission into IIM Kozhikode. Your overall score should be appealing enough to get you in.
IIT Bombay and IIT Madras were established in 1958 and 1959 respectively. Both these institutions have emerged as highly renowned centers of Engineering studies in India. Both IIT Bombay and IIT Madras are more than an institution, they are in fact a brand with a high relevance and strong network in the industry.
The ‘Bombay’ or ‘Madras’ is a part of this brand name. This is not the address of these institutions, as both these cities have long been renamed as Mumbai and Chennai respectively. The institution name has not been altered because of the prestige and legacy carried by both these titles.
Thus, IIT Bombay and IIT Madras haven’t been renamed over the years.
It is worth it to take admission to the Mumbai campus of IIM Indore. The coursework is rigorous and the faculty of the Mumbai campus is just as experienced and capable as the ones in the Indore campus.
The number of recruiters is increasing every year and the highest package is also seeing a rapid increase with each passing year. The companies do not hesitate to visit the Mumbai campus and treat it with the same respect as they treat the Indore campus.
The peer group in the Mumbai cause is also very good and you can expect to get excellent guidance from your peers and faculty. Through guest lectures, networking events and alumni meets; the campus generates and nurtures strong ties with the industries. The location of the institute is also a huge plus.
I’ve got a a friend from commerce background, who attended the SIBM Pune interview. Here’s his experience in brief.
Profile:
The process starts with verification later group numbers are allotted and seating arrangements are made accordingly. Then starts the GEWAT process.
Group Exercise - 1: Basically it is a game of Tetris. During the first 5 minutes, you will be asked to solve a puzzle and in the next 5 – 7 minutes you can strict to your own puzzle or try to solve it as a team. In my friend’s case, no one was able to solve the puzzle within the assigned time.
Written ability test: A video is played for which you have to write the summary with an apt title in the allotted time. For my friend, it was a video of a man walking down the street with a briefcase. And suddenly he changes into a fishnet stocking, puts on a wig, and walks away.
Group Exercise 2: This is a case discussion. Prepare for topics like political issues, business strategies, and other common topics.
Personal Interview: You will be assigned a topic outside the interview room and given a minute to think. They will ask questions based on the topic in the interview. Personal questions apart from your academics are asked related to family background, questions regarding your resume, hobbies, etc. Some of the questions that my friend remembers being asked are as follows.
Later documents like snap admit cards and mark sheets will be verified.
I can tell you about my interview experience for IIM Kozhikode.
I am a working professional with three years of work experience in the Ed-tech field. My 10th is 9.4 CGPA, 12th is 80% , both from CBSE, graduation score is 71.2% and I graduated in BBA in 2018 from a college in Indore .
I gave my interview in the afternoon slot (there were a total of three slots, morning, afternoon, and evening, the morning slot is best).
The interview was in online mode (due to covid). First, they asked me to verify my official ID cards. There were two people taking my interview, one male and one female.
They started by asking about my hobbies, I told them about gyming and cricket, and the male interviewer started asking me about cricket. He asked me who scored the maximum t20 runs in the previous year, what reverse swing is, top five bowlers who could bowl reverse swing. Then they started asking me about the firm in which I worked, the valuation of the firm, its reputation, the work culture, the future of the industry, who the CEO is, and all.
Then the next person started asking me questions from my undergrad, and I wasn't able to answer the question related to that. She seems a little unsatisfied with my answers.
I was waitlisted at the end and could not be able to convert the college.
It is worth noting that the brand value of "IIM" may vary among the different institutes. IIM Ahmedabad may have a different brand perception than IIM Lucknow, which may differ from IIM Kozhikode, and so on. With plans to establish an IIM in every state, getting admitted to one may not necessarily hold as much weight as it once did.
Older business schools may have more opportunities available to their students due to their more extensive alumni networks and long history of the establishment. Additionally, business schools located in metropolitan areas may have better access to recruiters, leading to potentially better job placements for their students.
Ultimately, it is up to you to consider these factors and make the final decision that best suits your needs and goals.
