Why is that BIT Mesra has not gained as much fame as BITS Pilani though it was setup before BITS, with good infrastructure?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : June 27th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

BIT Mesra, even today is a premiere Indian Institution which was established alongside IIT Kharagpur in the 1950s. The alumni from BIT Mesra have made great contributions in their respective fields in the past. At one time, BIT Mesra had an admission criteria which was eventually scrapped due to unethical practices used during the admissions.

The reason why BIT Mesra has lagged far behind BITS Pilani is that it is not evolving with the fast-paced world. BIT Mesra is not making any significant changes in its academics to compete with other premier Indian universities.

BITS Pilani has adapted with time. Both the motivated students and the education quality at BITS Pilani make it stand high above BIT Mesra.BITS Pilani has no attendance criteria for its students. Even then, the students like to attend the classes due to a healthy teaching environment. 

BITS Pilani was established by G.D. Birla in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA. Its academic program flowcharts are thus derived from MIT. BIT Mesra, on the other hand, has no collaborative backing as such. The practical learning environment at BITS Pilani stands much higher than the rote learning mindset at BIT Mesra.

The faculty at BITS Pilani is excellent in terms of knowledge, interest, and supporting nature. On the other hand, the faculty at BIT Mesra is not favored by the students. The students find the faculty at BIT Mesra to be very rigid and dominating which causes hurdles in a healthy teacher-student relationship.

To regain its lost status, BIT Mesra should adopt more modern learning methods, a well-adaptive curriculum, and a more supportive faculty like BITS Pilani.

How is IMI New Delhi? In terms of placements, infrastructure, faculty etc.

SS
Stuti Sonthalia Posted On : March 3rd, 2023
PGDM Big Data Analytics, Goa Institute of Management (2021)

The following answer is based on my brother's experience in IMI New Delhi from where he completed his graduation last year. He mentioned the various aspects of the Institute like placements, infrastructure, and faculty. I have summarized his viewpoint under the following headings

  • Infrastructure: The infrastructure was strictly average and nothing more than that. However, being located in the heart of the city it was easy to access various sports complexes. A basketball and a volleyball court are also available.
  • Faculty: Being taught under such experienced professors is one of the best parts of being an IMI Delhi student. These professors are highly experienced and have a history of extensive research.
  • Crowd: The crowd is a talented pool of students, some even with 99 percentiles. The students ranked well in terms of other aspects also like work experience and overall profile.
  • Placements: Addressing the most sensitive issue, the placements are surely decent enough to get you good company. Many big brands visit the campus and good profiles are offered. You need to fill out the EOI and sit for the company you desire to join. With a legacy of more than 30 years, IMI New Delhi attracts big names to its campus. However, make sure you depend more on your own performance than the institute to guarantee a good placement package.

Overall my brother was very satisfied with the results of the placements and claimed his hard work did really pay off in the end.

How is BBA from IGNOU?

RM
Rishabh Malhotra Posted On : November 3rd, 2022
Assistant manager-Inside Sales at Koenig Solutions (company)

Everything in life has advantages and disadvantages. Here are the advantages and disadvantages of BBA from IGNOU:

Pros:

  • IGNOU offers a BBA with a Specialization in Retailing (rather than a general BBA), which broadens your opportunities in the retail sector beyond sales and marketing.

  • Every year, you receive a certificate. As a result, you can begin working immediately after finishing your 12th grade and continue to advance each year. You don't have to wait three years for a degree before you can get a job. You can study while working.

  • Every year, you are given a project that allows you to gain real-world experience in the retail industry and complete it in retail organisations.

  • Retail Associations of India is collaborating with IGNOU-BBA. You will receive the best curriculum for it.

  • The course is written in simple language that is easy to understand, and it includes the best knowledge in the retail specialisation.

  • The cost of this course is the lowest of any university that offers distance education for BBA.

 

Cons:

  • There is no Math or Statistics subject in the entire BBA course from IGNOU, so it is entirely theoretical.

  • Unfortunately, some prestigious MBA programmes look for a Math subject in the course of graduation when accepting applications. However, there will be many colleges that will accept your degree.

  • Similarly, some government jobs require a Math subject as part of your bachelor's degree programme. However, there will be plenty of opportunities for you in the government. as well as the private sector for employment You can still apply for exams such as Bank PO, SSC, and UPSC.

  • The same exposure found in regular BBA will never be found in distance BBA. The reason for this is that you will not learn how to give presentations in front of an audience, which is essential if you are studying BBA.

This course is not offered in every city. So, before enrolling in IGNOU's BBA programme, you should contact the IGNOU regional centre in your city. Because this course is taken by a small number of students, it is only available in a few cities. However, when comparing distance universities for the course of BBA, it is recommended that IGNOU is the best because of its lower cost, reputation, and educational standard.

Studies B.Tech from Amity University, Noida (2020)

Amity University is known for its world-class campus and student facilities, including its hostels, sports grounds, gym, and much more. A friend of mine informed me that while most of these facilities are absolutely free for students to use, there are some specific services that either is for selected students (students who are part of sports teams, etc) or students are required to pay a certain amount to use it.

  • The University features a 15-acre sports complex that includes multiple facilities like a swimming pool, gym, badminton court, an 8 layer ultra-cushion synthetic tennis court, football field, volleyball court, squash court, and horse riding academy.
  • While the swimming pool facilities are free to use, students are required to pay for using the gym. With respect to the basketball, volleyball, and table tennis courts, students can use these for free but are required to carry their own equipment and rackets to play.
  • Amity University also features a gaming zone called Arcadia where students can find Xbox, Play Stations, and PC’s for LAN gaming. All these facilities are to be paid for on an hourly basis.
  • Apart from that, it also has bumping cars, jamming rooms, bull rides, billiards tables, and much more as you would usually find at malls. These games along with other virtual games are also accounted for. Students can only use them once they have paid for them.

Some facilities like the gym also come with a monthly and annual membership fee, so students also have the option to choose from those. All these facilities are built up to international standards and encourage students to maintain an active lifestyle and learn team management. These are the main student facilities at Amity and how they are accounted for. All the Best!
