Why do people prefer IIM Calcutta over IIM Ahmedabad for finance-related jobs?
The claim that IIM Calcutta is India's finance campus, is overstated. Yes, C has a slightly higher number of finance recruiters, but the majority of the top recruiters also attend IIM Ahmedabad and Bangalore. The difference is in tier 2 and 3 finance companies, which Ahmedabad makes up for with good FMCG and consulting roles.
In general, placement processes in Calcutta are disorganized when compared to Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and even FMS. Processes in Calcutta are woefully out of date, as evidenced by the recent dissent against place reps and the subsequent motion of no confidence.
It has been noticed that people only select IIM Calcutta over IIM Ahmedabad if they are having problems with location and not because they believe Calcutta to be superior to Ahmedabad.
Which is the best medical college in northeast India? Is Neigrihms, Shillong, or a central medical institute better than GMC Guwahati?
Comparably NEIGRIHMS is better. However, both of these two institutes have their advantages.
NEIGRIHMS:
- It has a virtual dissection table. Other than one or two medical colleges, you can’t find this facility anywhere in India.
- As their student intake is not high, the student-teacher ratio is better. You will get more personal attention from teachers.
- The campus is clean and quite beautiful.
- The internship salary is more.
GMC:
- It has more faculty.
- You will have access to PG coaching centers like Dams. As it is situated near the college.
- It also offers better exposure.
NEIGRIHMS has improved a lot in a very short time. The healthcare quality offered on campus can’t be compared to anywhere else.
Which is better for a BCA: Maharaja Surajmal or VIPS in terms of placement?
According to one of my friends at VIPS, it is much better than Maharaja Surajmal. They both are affiliated with the Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU). So essentially, the core study structure will be more or less similar at both institutes. But VIPS is known to have a better faculty, infrastructure, and placements.
Your first year at VIPS will go like a breeze with the smooth conduct of academics as well as extra-curricular activities.

Which is better EEE at NIT Raipur or BIT Mesra or NIT Hamirpur?
When I asked a senior of mine the same question, she told me to exclude NIT Raipur. The reason is, NIT Raipur is one of the newer institutes and to be considered worthy, the institute has to improve a lot.
The other two institutes, however, would be a tough call.
My senior said BIT Mesra is slightly ahead of NIT Hamirpur just because the former has been around for much longer than the latter.
Despite all that, NIT Hamirpur is located in pleasant surroundings. In addition to that, it will also give you the NIT tag and is an INI. So, in the case of comparison by merit, it all depends on who has the higher cut-off in a particular session.
NIT Hamirpur is also a new NIT and it is improving with each day. On the other hand, the quality of education, placements in the electrical branch of NIT Raipur are going down with each passing day.

Both the branches are great in their own way, however, Computer Science holds an edge over ECE. Check out the following reasons to know why.
