My sister has recently completed her BBA with a specialization in Finance from NMIMS and she told me about the actual placement scenario of the college. She agrees with the fact that NMIMS is a top B School with an excellent curriculum and faculty. You will be offered amazing opportunities in the form of working in a big MNC or becoming an entrepreneur. 

However, the situation of placements is not what it seems from the reports. Although my sister was able to get placed she witnessed many of her batch mates unplaced or placed with a very minimal package. Many companies visit the campus owing to the great brand value but the major problem that arises is the huge batch size. The competition is tough as the intake is very high. This year the total intake is BBA 600; BCOM 180. Henceforth very low packages are offered that are not even close to those mentioned in the placement reports. 

In my sister's batch apart from 3 students, every student got a package of less than 3 LPA. Deloitte hired less than 17 students. While the placement scenario was really poor, the knowledge that she gained in those 3 years did help her pass CFA level-1 the next year. So it’s you who can decide if the money you spend is worth it or not by determining what you really want from your BBA.

Most part-time courses carry no real value other than adding the post-graduate tag. They have no worth in the corporate world irrespective of whichever reputed college you have chosen. NMIMS is one of the top reputed B Schools in India and has a big brand name. 

• The faculty is extremely talented and experienced
• The placement scenario is pretty good except that part-time courses have no fixed statistics.
• The fees are relatively high when compared to other B Schools of the same league
• The curriculum is very rigorous and requires constant attendance and involvement. Being a part-time PGDM, you are probably a working professional and it becomes very difficult to balance work with studies. 
• The curriculum required you to submit assignments and give frequent exams. This might be difficult for working people.
• Unfortunately there is quite a level of distinction between full-time PGDM students and part-time PGDM students as the former get the most attention from teachers.
• The curriculum is rushed in order to get completed within 21 months imparting no real learning 

I know a friend who chose NMIMS Executive MBA and paid hefty fees just for the brand name instead of doing the same course at a less popular B School. She regretted her decision and claimed the program to be a total waste of money and time. She said she could have done the same from another B School at half the cost. So part-time MBA itself is not that worthless, but paying a hefty sum merely for the brand name and postgraduate tag is illogical. You can do the same program at a much lesser cost than other B Schools.

Yes, Concordia University is indeed good for Masters in Software Engineering and is ranked among the top 500 in many ranking sites. The curriculum comprises theoretical knowledge of software development through coding intensive courses. To land a good job, you should be skilled in programming language and also have proof of projects that you have worked on in the past.

An additional Work-Study Program enables students to work on-campus either part-time in the academic year or full-time in the summer season.

Curriculum: The curriculum touches on basic topics related to software engineerings like Advanced Software Architecture, Software Systems Requirements Specification, Software Project Management, and Software Comprehension and Maintenance.

Placements: Placements are a bit tough in this field as the employment rate is very low around 55%. Only skilled graduates are given preference while screening for job offers. As an international student, you can have an upper hand by taking advantage of online resources, learning Canadian culture, and being prepared for Canadian winter.

Go for the IIM Lucknow ABM program only if you are sincerely inclined towards agri. If not then choosing ABM will limit your career prospects considerably and you might even regret it later.

MDI Gurgaon PGDM is one of the oldest programs that have great value. MDI Gurgaon can easily be called the country’s best B School. The admissions are solely based on merit so the quality of your peers is top-notch. Some major highlights of the institute and its PGDM program are

• Experienced permanent faculty
• Student-driven clubs
• Student-driven Mutual Fund 
• Elaborate alumni network 
• Lush green campus
• Excellent peer learning

So you will not regret choosing MDI even over IIM Lucknow.

The NMP program of MDI is a well-known program that was initiated in the year 1988. The program is best suitable for Young Managers. Coming to the placement part, most of the students choosing this program are sponsored by the company they were working at and hence have to join back their company once their program is completed. 

The general placements are also decent with around 70% placement percentage. But placements depend mostly on the knowledge gained and implemented in your job. Your performance throughout the program determines your placement.
