Given the two chances, I will definitely join IIM Rohtak over NMIMS anytime. The reasons for my choice are

Campus: The newly made campus of IIM Rohtak stretches over 150 acres and is loaded with top-notch facilities. Although some might consider its location at a disadvantage to NMIMS, in reality, it is just an hour's drive away from Delhi.

Placements: IIM Rohtak has an upper hand in placement opportunities as well.

Pedagogy: You can never compare the pedagogy of an IIM with any other B School. It’s very rigorous and the curriculum does not focus on academics, but also on exposure. This exposure is brought by events like TEDx and Marathon where students learn how to manage. Guest faculties from other IIMs, institutes like MDI, and senior management from top firms visit the campus for industry exposure. 

Fees: IIM Rohtak- ?9.9 Lakhs (1st Year Fees)NMIMS- ?11.95 Lakhs (1st Year Fees). Despite being an IIM, Rohtaks fees are lesser than NMIMS.

Peer Learning: The peers are some of the most talented people you will ever come across. They have gotten into IIM with a percentile of more than 99.5. Moreover, there is a healthy blend of freshers and experienced students to promote effective peer learning. Most activities are conducted group-wise and each group comprises students from different backgrounds.

I hope these reasons might have cleared all the remaining doubts you had.

As a former EEE student at BITS Goa, I would not recommend taking up EEE at BITS Hyderabad if you want a career in the field of software engineering. 

Here are the reasons why-

1. The coding involved in EEE is not enough. You’ll code in MATLAB, which is rarely used in the IT sector. You’ll have to devote extra time to learning Python, Java, and other languages. 
2. CS involves much more than coding, all of which you’ll miss out on.
3. Elective courses like OS, DSA, Comp Arch have very limited seats, and not everyone gets to pick them. Also, you’ll get these courses by your third or fourth year. By then you’ll either be under too much pressure to complete your main syllabus or it’ll be too late because the placement season will have begun.
4. Top IT companies don’t open for non CS candidates, and even for the companies that do, you’ll have to compete with CS students.
5. BITS will give you all the necessary exposure, quality education and opportunities. However, as a non IT student you’ll still find difficulty in getting an IT job via campus placements.

Based on all these points, I would recommend choosing CSE at VIT for better job prospects in the IT sector.

To choose a college that is perfect for you, one needs to ponder various questions repeatedly. These questions will help you get a clear idea about what you want from MBA and which college will help you achieve that.

• Which area do you want to specialize in?
• Are you included towards functional level clarity (Operations, Finance, Marketing, Tech) or granular level clarity (FMCG marketing/Digital e-commerce marketing/Sales or Product Management/Project Management or General Management)

If the answer to it is yes, then analyze the reports of these institutes to find where each one of them stands. Looking at average CTC is not the right way and is in fact misleading.

Other things you should consider before choosing a B School are

• The admission procedure and the level of difficulty of entrance exams if these colleges 
• The practicality and relevance of the curriculum as per the recent industrial trends
• The profiles of your batchmates and their diversity The size and brand of the alumni base and the opportunities you will be availing through them
• The importance of overall personality grooming

One thing you should keep in mind is that brands are just a stepping stone in your career journey and not the main factor. These institutes have been able to establish the brand name mainly because of where their alumni have reached now. So brands are helpful in the short run only.

I don’t know much about RML/ABVIMS, but I can highlight a few points about LHMC-

• Clinical Exposure- RML offers more clinical exposure for medicine and surgery. This is why half of LHMC postings are conducted at RML. However, LHMC is one of the best in India for Gynae and Paeds. Moreover, LHMC has opened a new academic block, a new OPD block, and new super specialty blocks in recent years. This will increase clinical exposure at LHMC.

• Infrastructure and location- LHMC campus is small yet beautiful. It is located in CP, and well connected to the rest of Delhi NCR via metro.

• DU quota- As an LHMC student, you’ll get a DU quota for PG studies in MAMC, LHMC, and UCMS. IPU has a huge number of PG seats, but the competition is quite high. 

Both RML and LHMC are top medical colleges in Delhi. As a student of LHMC, I can assure you that our college provides ample growth opportunities.

Most students, freshly out of school, try to choose an Engineering branch for themselves. You might be someone who has a deep passion for either Mechanical or CSE. In that case, I would advise you to follow your heart. 

But if you think not opting for CSE is a bad decision, just ask yourself why you would consider CSE. Is it because you did some coding in your school days and wish to enter into that field, or simply because CSE is popular. Don’t be in the illusion of liking a branch just because everyone is recommending it. Also, don’t go for any branch solely because it has better placements than the other. As long as you enjoy a particular field, you will get good offers.

Mechanical is a good branch at NIT Silchar. Moreover, as research has become increasingly interdisciplinary in nature, various departments collaborate with one another these days. Even Mechanical has a good involvement of CSE- Robotics, CFD, etc. all involve high level coding and the knowledge of Data Structures. Because today most campuses witness IT placements more than core profiles, I would highly recommend you consult the alumni of Mechanical to figure out what placements are like in ground reality.

These are the 2022 placement stats for both the branches at NIT Silchar-

Also, NIT Silchar offers a branch change after the 2nd semester. This is based on your performance in the first two semesters. In case you feel dissatisfied with your choice, you can opt for branch change as well. 

For your first year (whichever branch you choose) maintain good grades, talk to your seniors and explore your stream.
