IIM Calcutta has a digital marketing certification, is it worth doing?
Getting certified from any IIM in any course is definitely an achievement. But the selection process is not easy and requires more time and effort than you think. If you want to get a digital marketing certification from IIM Calcutta, you should have the proper knowledge to crack its entrance exams. Also, you should be confident to excel in the industry. Only then is the certification worth it.
If you are unable to make it into IIM don’t go for any other Institute for pursuing a digital marketing course. The reasons for this are:
-
Colleges offer digital marketing courses for a minimum of 2-3 years. This is unnecessary as digital marketing courses can be completed within 3-6 months
-
Colleges offer these courses are high fees whereas you can learn the course from an industry expert for less than half of the actual fees
-
Colleges focus more on theoretical knowledge. Whereas a course like digital marketing requires a more practical approach. This can be made possible only through an industry expert.
-
MBA colleges do not guarantee placements.
So we can say that a digital marketing course from IIM is not as valuable as one you can get from a Digital Marketing institute. The high fees, duration, and lack of placements don’t make it worth spending so much time on.
Is LNCT Bhopal one of the best 100 colleges in India?
No, LNCT Bhopal does not come under the best 100 colleges of India. In the 2020 ranking of NIRF, it was ranked 251-300. However, in 2021, it was ranked 50th for private engineering by India Today.
If you are looking for good placements, you can go for LNCT, since it has a good placement record. However, irrespective of the good placement record and the brand value it still has some issues that need to be addressed.
The faculty base is not that great. The faculty here focuses just on the theory part instead of imparting practical knowledge to the students.
Also, there is no environment for programming in the college and students have to pay extra and learn the programming languages for placements.
So before getting admission, do thorough research on the institute.

- Infrastructure: Mount Carmel College has a good infrastructure. The labs are well equipped and air-conditioned.

How's ECE at NIT Delhi?
One of my cousins is an ECE student at NIT Delhi. She loved the fact that the batch size was small and every student received individual attention from the faculty. Some of the labs are not well-equipped but you can find almost every faculty there. The opportunities offered to NIT Delhi students are more than their counterparts because of the small batch size.
My cousins made many new friends in 4 years. Alarmist everyone from her batch got placed in good companies and no one regretted joining NIT Delhi. Last year, the average package for ECE was around INR 15 LPA. Some students even had 2 offers by the end of the placement drive. Even the labs and hostel facilities have been improved ever since it started operating from the new campus.
Overall ECE at NIT Delhi is definitely worth it!
How good is IT at IIIT-Allahabad compared to CSE at BITS, Pilani and IIIT-H?
IIITs are Information Technology oriented institutes. These institutes only offer Computer Science and IT-related courses.

It also offers good placements in the IT sector. IIIT Allahabad placements 2022 concluded with an average CTC of INR 26 LPA, while the highest CTC was around INR 1.4 CPA.
Which is better? IIT Gandhinagar for CS or BITS Goa for CS?
It is clear how so many students from IIT Gandhinagar have answered your question before me. And this is what makes these answers slightly biased. But I would try on my part, to provide you with authentic information on IIT Gandhinagar- without coming off as biased.
STEP 1: DECIDE YOUR BRANCH
- This is a very tricky part. It's either the Electric or CS branch that leaves students confused.
- Honestly, it is of no use to pursue Electrical Engineering while uninterested at IIT.
- If you are still indecisive, you can talk to the ex-students of that department.
- BITS is great for CS and IIT Gandhinagar for Electrical Engineering. But if you still have some second thoughts, try this next step.
STEP 2: BITS vs IIT
- BITS being older and having more experience makes placements easier. They also offer more salary packages for a CS degree than an Electrical Engineering degree at IIT Gandhinagar.
- IITs still have an upper hand as a brand name. In case you are wanting to shift to the USA for higher studies, it would be great. Otherwise, BITS Goa isn't that bad a choice in India as it is valued equally as the other IITs.
Therefore, if the USA is on your bucket list, go for IIT. Grabbing a foreign internship at IIT Gandhinagar is easier. But then if you simply want to stay in India and study, BITS Goa and IIT Gandhinagar stand equal as a brand.
In case you have second thoughts on learning MS applications and shifting abroad, check the next step.
STEP 3: TAKE IT EASY
- For you, neither the college nor the branch is a big deal. You have both the choices open. Think it through and choose a place where you learn for 4 years, pursuing your B.Tech degree.
- According to location, Goa is definitely better than Gujarat, as the climate there is balanced and not extremely hot or humid.
One of my friends had an option to choose between a certain branch that held his interest among IIT Gandhinagar for Electrical Engineering or the AIEEE colleges. It even included underrated IITs like metallurgy, aeronautical, etc. But he was certain about Electrical. Eventually, the choices came down to NIT Warangal and IIT Gandhinagar. He then thought that NIT Warangal was better than BITS Goa despite having BITS Goa for Electrical. And he eventually went for IIT Gandhinagar considering its popularity.
He was a 2013 pass-out and even after this, he is still not sure if he had made the right decision. It is fine if you're unable to make a decision. But once you decide, make sure to excel at it.
Is NIT Calicut good for girls (I have heard there are a lot of restrictions for girls). I plan to join EP and I live in Kolkata. Will it be a good choice?
NIT Calicut is safe for girls but most of its rules are very regressive and gender biased. In the girls' hostel, first-year students have to seek multiple permissions for something as simple as going out to get paracetamol. The NIT Calicut girls hostel curfew starts at 7 PM for first year girls and is relaxed to 9 p.m. for seniors. The exit timings are 6 AM onwards. Everyone has to attend the daily roll calls.
To travel home, you must submit your permission form two days in advance and exit/enter the hostel between 7 PM to 6 AM. This causes a lot of inconvenience, especially if your train is scheduled at odd hours.
Hostel amenities are quite average, and just enough for survival.Traveling from Kolkata to Kozhikode is not easy, even by flight. You will get to visit home only during the summer breaks. Also, take up EP only if you are really passionate about Physics and are planning to go for higher studies. If you plan to work in the industry, the placements for EP are quite low. If you can manage with its policies and far-off location, NIT Calicut has a great learning environment and quality of education. Its campus is also really good. NIT Calicut enhances your personality and aids your growth.
Consider all these factors before making a final decision.
Which is better BITS Pilani (Pilani Campus) CSE, IIT Indore CSE, or BITS Pilani (Goa/Hyderabad) CSE?
BITS Pilani campus is way better than Goa or Hyderabad campus unless you have a specific locational preference. So that leaves you with 2 options; BITS Pilani and IIT Indore.
- BITS Pilani is one of the oldest technical institutions and is considered a prestigious college often compared to the top IITs. IIT Indore is a second-generation IIT that has made its name because of its exponential growth.
- One of the major factors to consider while deciding between IIT Indore and BITS Pilani is the fees. IIT Indore fees are ?2.34 Lakhs for the first year while the entire BITS Pilani fee just for the first campus is INR 2,31,500. So unless you have any financial constraints, BITS Pilani CSE would be a better option.
- The best part is that BITS Pilani has no reservation policy which makes for an excellent peer culture over there.
- BITS Pilani has an elaborate alumni pool and is thus better than IIT Indore.
- The placement scenario of both the colleges is similar so that should be your last concern.
So unless you have any financial issues, BITS Pilani is the best choice unless you are adamant about the IIT tag.
