How good is IMT Hyderabad for MBA in Finance in terms of ROI?
There is no fixed ROI one can expect after completing MBA in Finance from IMT Hyderabad. It all depends on your academic profile and the way you spent 2 years here. Some students here come just for enjoying campus life while some take academics seriously and give it their all. The ROI directly depends on your skills and performance in the interview and cannot be generalized.
Is DTU good or bad?
Like any other thing, DTU has its own set of weaknesses and strengths. To name a few
Pros
- You become fully dependent on self-study and stay motivated on your own.
- It is located in the capital city of India and thus has a plethora of opportunities to offer.
- Some recruiters still consider it a part of DU and approach it because of its DCE brand.
- DTU still is the mother institution of IIT Delhi and thus has a great faculty pool and academic environment. We have well-qualified teachers and good exposure.
- The 150-acre campus is better maintained than the huge forest-like campus of NSIT.
- DTU is better than IITs in the sense that its brand name hasn't been diluted yet and it stands high amongst its rivals.
- The best part of DTU is the Engifest, a spectacular event with massive participation.
Cons
- DTU classroom sessions are very lacking so students don't get to experience good classroom learning.
- Although it is in Delhi, its location is Bawana
- DTU lacks the brand value and tag which is crucial for engineering students.
- The increasing batch size every year is another reason to worry about as it's affecting the cutoffs and placement opportunities directly.
Overall, DTU is a great choice if you are not after brand value and are ready to commit to hard work.
How is life of a CS student in NSIT and DTU as compared with life of a CS student in an IIT?
Here are a few points of differences between the life of a CS student in NSUT/Delhi and life of a CS student in an IIT
- Academic Workload: The first-year students in NSUT and DTU have a laid-back and relaxed experience with no academic pressure of completing assignments, preparing for internals, performing practicals, etc. Whereas IITians are busy with a hectic schedule and rigorous academics right from the first year. They have to be serious about their practicals, labs, and assignments.
- Attendance Policy: Although NSUT and DTU have a 75% attendance policy NSUT students don’t follow and the consequences aren’t very serious. IITs on the other hand are very serious about attendance policies. Students need to attend classes, tutorials, and labs each requiring 75% attendance.
- Curriculum: NSUT and DTU have a relatively lighter and easier curriculum than IITs which have a very rigorous and challenging course syllabus.
- Campus life: NSUT and DTU have relatively dull campus life than IITs. Students are not involved in organizing summits, seminars, presentations, events, etc. While in IITs the campus is buzzing with some or other activities every day.
- Hostel life: Unfortunately in India, the quality of hostel life depends on your gender. If you are a girl you will have a full life anywhere whereas if you are a boy you will get full freedom at either place.
- Placements: Placements won’t be an issue if you are a CSE graduate because both NSUT and IITs offer similar opportunities.
Hope the comparison helps you get a better understanding of lives in different colleges.
What is the one thing you will miss when you graduate from NIT, Durgapur?
My sister is a recent pass-out of NIT Durgapur and misses it a lot. She misses everything about her college from the amazing hostel life to all the friends she made. She misses the memorable and enjoyable moments spent with seniors. with them. She wants to relive all the fun moments like late-night gossip and fun in the hostel and bunking classes with her friends.
She misses the struggle she went through to maintain her attendance and a good CGPA. Another amazing experience is when NIRVANA is held. A number of workshops are held by clubs to help students pursue their passions. She found happiness in gossiping and eating junk food in places of recreation inside the campus. She also misses visiting restaurants like Mainland China, Lemon Grass, City Residency, Layeks, Durgapur House, and many others. The competitions conducted by clubs and fests are also very engaging.
With so many memories and life lessons, she thanks NIT Durgapur for what it made her today.
Which is better, guide by ranking these IITs: IIT Gandhinagar, IIT Ropar, IIT Patna, or IIT Jodhpur?
Evaluating and choosing colleges based on NIRF rankings is purely illogical as the criteria these ranking bodies consider are unrelated to your degree. Rather, you should consider the facilities provided by the institute and your personal preferences. That being said, IIT Jodhpur is a great choice among the aforementioned institutes.

How was your experience at the VNIT, Nagpur Quora meetup on 17th October, 2015?
I had a fantastic experience at the meetup.
VNIT Nagpur is my alma mater, and this meetup revived so many of my memories of this place. I used to organize a number of events during college days.
At the meetup, I was invited as the chief guest.The college canteen, the classrooms, and every other thing about VNIT made me nostalgic. The meetup was a huge success, and a large number of students attended it.
I made close bonds with a lot of people, and had a great time overall. There were discussions on a variety of topics, ranging from movies to social issues, and more. The crowd was energetic, enthusiastic, and bubbling with questions. Unfortunately, I and the other guests couldn’t address all of those doubts because of time constraints.
I feel lucky, having gotten an opportunity to revisit my college as a chief guest. This meetup will always remain a fond memory for me.

Why is IIT Gandhinagar behaving more like a private college and less like an IIT?
I fail to understand what you mean by ‘behaving more like a private college’ and from where such a question stems from. If your comparison of IIT Gandhinagar with private colleges is to point out its features uncommon to other IITs then maybe yes, IIT Ganghinagar is certainly a bit different from the usual IIT standards.
Consider the following points to understand this further:
- It is one of the fastest growing second generation IITs, that were established in 2008.
- The institute is well known for its highly flexible branch change policies, curriculum, cutting-edge research, and top-notch placement opportunities.
- The flexibility in the curriculum can be seen through the wide range of options of dual majors, minors, honors, course range, and short courses.
- It has ties with several foreign universities and thus provides great study-abroad opportunities to UG, PG, and Ph.D. students in the form of semesters overseas, research internships, summer programs, etc.
- Another distinctive feature includes harmony between different disciplines with 7 Interdisciplinary Research Centres. All the departments have common research facilities and there isn't any kind of monopoly.
- The institute highly focuses on Project-oriented-learning that gives the students a practical approach to theoretical concepts.
- IIT Gandhinagar has some highly renowned faculty and the majority of the professors are PhD holders from top foreign institutes like Cambridge, Harvard, MIT, etc.
- Another unique initiative is the Non-degree Program wherein students from non-IIT institutes take part-time/full-time courses and get to spend an entire semester at IIT Gandhinagar.
The list is not exhaustive and IIT Gandhinagar indeed is a unique IIT that has made its mark alone without the help of the IIT tag. It focuses on both the professional as well as personal development of its students, faculty, and staff. If you call such fast-paced growth ‘behaving like private colleges’ then it is what it is.
