Your choice can be based either on the branch or on college.

NIT Surathkal is a better choice than NIT Calicut and NIT Durgapur. As far as placements are concerned, they aren’t any better for Civil or Chemical either. It is always more beneficial to go for branches like ECE, CSE, IT and EEE from a placement point of view. 

Here are the placement figures for NIT Durgapur, NIT Calicut and NIT Surathkal-

Which is better, NIT Surathkal or BITS Pilani?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 14th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Both NIT Suathkal and BITS Pailni are the dream colleges of most engineering aspirants owing to their high reputation and excellence in the field of education. However, NIT is a government college whereas BITS Pilani is a private engineering college that costs much more. Here are a few points you would like to consider before making the final decision

  1. First of all, you need to determine what you are looking for from your degree. If you want to associate yourself with a brand then NIT has better recognition globally. Letters of Recommendation from Surathkal professors are very valuable.
  2. NIT Surathkal has a better location being near the IT hub, Bangalore. The opportunities offered both on and off campus are plentiful. 
  3. Infrastructure-wise, NIT Surathkal is better mainly because it has its own private beach. Additionally, hostels are well-built and the facilities are at par with IIT standards.
  4. NIT Surathkal charges very low fees in comparison to BITS.

So, I feel it's better to opt for NIT Surathkal!

What should be the preference order, GMCH Chandigarh, VMMC Delhi, AIIMS other than Delhi, CMC Vellore?

A
Admin Posted On : May 3rd, 2024

I chose VMMC Delhi over the other three options (GMCH Chandigarh, AIIMS (other than Delhi) & CMC Vellore) for my MBBS.

According to me, the order of preference should be: 

  1. VMMC Delhi
  2. GMCH Chandigarh
  3. AIIMS (other than Delhi)
  4. CMC Vellore 

My reasons for this preference order are:

  • VMMC, GMCH, and AIIMS are government colleges with minimal MBBS fees.
  • These three do not have a mandatory bond period
  • VMMC Delhi and GMCH Chandigarh are better than AIIMS (other than Delhi) due to their internal PG reservation system
  • VMMC is a better choice than GMCH because of its location. VMMC is located in Delhi because of which it offers better opportunities. Also, the hospital of VMMC is bigger and VMMC offers more internal PG reservation as compared to GMCH.

Due to these factors, I would suggest you opt for VMMC Delhi for your MBBS course.

What are the major differences between LHMC and MAMC?

Sayantani Barman Posted On : October 5th, 2023

Both LHMC and MAMC have a similar quality crowd and even the location is similar. In fact, LHMC is just 2 km away from MAMC. MAMC however, is nearer to the metro station. 

LHMC takes postings seriously. The girls are given a lot of freedom so LHMC not being a co-ed hardly affects the quality of their campus life in any way. In fact, it makes it better because of the unimaginable freedom.

Both the colleges have a decent academic ambiance. LHMC is well-known for its OB-GYN and Pediatrics departments. Girls get a lot of hands-on experience and are trained excellently under the guidance of experienced faculty.

A true and literal comparison between these colleges can only be made after personally visiting colleges.

So, you can choose NIT Warangal for CS

Which has the best program for rural management, XIMB, IRMA, or the Indian Institute of Rural Management at Jaipur?

VP
Vishal Patil Posted On : March 10th, 2023
Studied MBA in Human Resource Management at Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (Graduated 2019)

IRMA seems to have it all - top faculty, great infrastructure, excellent campus, and extensive exposure. It is well known for its specialization in Rural Management and becomes the best choice when it comes to RM aspirants. Before I go on, let me clarify a much common misconception about the Rural Management and Development Sector. The assumptions that the pay in the Development sector is extremely low and IRMA provides no corporate exposure are outright false. 

I know a friend who gave up a scholarship at another B School for Rural Management at IRMA. He made this decision despite knowing it will be more hectic because of the 3 field components unlike 1 in the case of other B Schools. 

There is an additional social sector course like Rural Society and Polity for instance. The main purpose of these courses is to broaden your tour horizon as IRMA serves the majority of the Indian population living in villages, who have a different set of problems and require a different type of thinking to solve them.

IRMA has 2 camps - pro-market and pro-development that respect each other. Such harmony leads to a better understanding of both pros and cons, and students can initiate a response to an emerging economy.

This field required an emphatic and sensitive attitude with monetary benefits not being the primary goal. The earning capacity is not exactly poor and the placement figures reveal 100% opportunities. Additionally, IRMA’s Social Entrepreneurship Cell is a haven for future entrepreneurs.

IRMA boasts of a rich alumni culture because they take pride in being an IRMAn which was possible after multiple efforts and hard work. The alumni connection ensures constant motivation and advice shared based on real-life experiences.

Overall IRMA offers a roller coaster of experiences you won’t forget in your entire life.

How and when did the rivalry between IIM Calcutta and XLRI Jamshedpur start?

AM

studied at Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (2020)

IIM Calcutta and XLRI Jamshedpur have a protracted rivalry that spans back several decades. The rivalry's beginnings can be found in the 1960s when both institutes were founded.

The first management institute to be founded with government assistance in India was IIM Calcutta, which opened its doors in 1961. The Society of Jesus founded the XLRI in Jamshedpur, which is one of India's oldest management institutions, in 1949. 

IIM Calcutta and XLRI Jamshedpur have established a reputation as two of India's top management schools throughout the years. IIM Calcutta places a lot of emphasis on marketing and finance, whereas XLRI Jamshedpur places a lot of emphasis on human resources management.

Students and alumni from both institutes frequently engage in friendly competition and banter, making the rivalry between the two institutions mostly a friendly one. The competitiveness between the colleges is particularly pronounced during activities like business quizzes, debates, and other intercollegiate contests.

How are XLRI, XIMB, and XIME related? Does XLRI plays any role with XIMB or XIME in placements?

S
Sagardeep Posted On : February 13th, 2023
PGDBM in Marketing & Operations Management, Xavier School of Management (Graduated 2016)

The Xavier Institute of Management (XLRI), Xavier Institute of Management and Entrepreneurship (XIME), and Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (XIMB) are all well-respected colleges that share a common heritage. All three were established by the same Jesuit society and have a strong connection to the Xavier or Loyola name. Another commonality between these colleges is that they all use the XAT exam as a selection criterion for their MBA programs. 

Additionally, it is not uncommon for faculty members to move between XLRI, XIME, and XIMB. Despite these similarities, it is important to note that each of these colleges has its own distinct functioning and separate placement processes. It's important to research each of these colleges independently to understand the unique opportunities and resources each of these colleges offers.
