What are the final placement stats for the PGDBA (jointly offered by ISI Kolkata, IITKGP and IIM Calcutta)?
Despite the economic slowdown, the Post Graduate Diploma in Business Analytics (PGDBA) program offered jointly by IIM Calcutta, ISI Kolkata, and IT Kharagpur witnessed a growth in the average and median remuneration of students from the previous year. The average remuneration and median remuneration grew by 12.75% and 14%, respectively, with an average salary of INR 29.71 LPA achieved and the highest offer of INR 42.50 Lacs.

The PGDBA program is a rigorous academic program that spans three semesters, with each semester being held at one of the three premier institutes. During the coursework at ISI Kolkata, students develop expertise in statistical learning theories for analytics, while at IT Kharagpur, they apply these theories to Machine learning and Artificial intelligence. At IIM Calcutta, candidates learn how to utilize these tools in functional areas of management.
Will a 65% in graduation be a deterrent during the placement process of a B-school like IMT, IMI, TAPMI, IIT-KGP?
A 65% in graduation shouldn’t be a deterrent during placements. Companies generally look at how you perform in your MBA. The academic percentages are only there for cut-offs and having more than 60% for that is sufficient.
During placements, you should be able to showcase your skills and those skills should align with what the firm is looking for at that point in time. Make sure you participate in competitions as it opens up your mind and helps you gain significant knowledge on a number of different topics and perspectives. Perform above average in class when it comes to academics/cgpa, and have some achievements under your belt. That will help you stand out.
Which MBA college should I prefer (background is from B.tech hons (CS) and have 15 months work experience), IIT KGP or IIM Trichy?
The best way to answer your query is to mention the core highlights of MBA from both institutes.
IIT
- The MBA course here is more of technical nature as the program is one of the many departments of a huge Technical institute
- The peers are very talented and genius
- The small batch size increases the opportunities for placements
IIM Trichy
- The MBA experience here is much more diverse and challenging. You will find peers from diverse backgrounds.
- The pedagogy here is top notch as they specialize in this area
- IIM Trichy has a better academic rigor and their style of Management education is too good
- IIMs offer better food and infrastructural facilities
I will sum up my answer with 2 points. If you are looking for job prospects outside India, IITs are a good choice. But within India, IIMs are a better option as their style of Management surpasses that of IITs.
Which is better, IIT Bhubaneswar ECE or IIT Kharagpur Aerospace ?
IIT Bhubaneswar ECE is a better choice among these. It offers better placements. IIT Bhubaneswar placements 2022 had witnessed an average CTC of INR 22.40 LPA for ECE. 100% of students got placed from the branch. The highest CTC offered was INR 44.10 LPA.
Aerospace Engineering is a niche field. The career prospect in Aerospace is limited. Choose IIT KGP, only if you are passionate about the field and want to pursue higher studies.

Should I join M.Tech IIT Kharagpur/Bombay/Madras if I want to prepare for IES?
This is a bit of a subjective question. An M.tech from the IITs won’t help in your IES preparation in any way. So both the paths are very different.
If you decide upon pursuing an M.Tech, then IIT Kharagpur will be an ideal choice. The M.tech program from IIT Kharagpur is one the best among the IITs. Here you will get to learn in-depth concepts of your preferred specialization.
You will also get to develop an academic mindset. The faculty is kind and helpful. They will encourage you to write papers and publish them. You will have the option either to go for a Phd or to apply for jobs at top companies. Because of IIT Kharagpur’s vast industry network, you will get to sit for the interviews of top companies.

Why there are so many (nearly 200) dropouts every year from IIT Delhi, IIT Kharagpur?
There are many dropouts every year from IIT Delhi and IIT Kharagpur. This is because there is intense academic pressure on the students at the IITs. The IITs have strict academics, and the huge coursework can be very overwhelming for the students.
The students are under constant pressure to produce the best results. This causes most of them to suffer and eventually drop out. They face burnout and stress, which is why they take such a big step.
Another reason is that some students enter the IITs with unrealistic expectations. These are obviously not met, so they choose to drop out. Some students also take this step because of financial difficulties and family emergencies. Then there are students who get good job opportunities, and so they choose to drop out during their PG or doctoral degrees. There is also a group of students who take this step to follow their passions, as they come to realize that IITs were not their dream after all.
These are the most common reasons why students end up dropping out from top IITs like IIT Delhi and IIT KGP.
Will it be worth doing mtech in transportation from iit bhubaneswar instead choosing water resources from iit kgp ?
This totally depends upon your interest in the subject. You should give preference to the subject rather than a degree from college because your subject will shape your future.
The school of water resources is one of the pioneer centers for education and training in water quality and quantity management. There is an advanced research water quality lab in IIT Kharagpur. It is an old IIT and will provide more opportunities for higher studies in foreign universities, people also go to foreign universities from IIT Bhubaneswar but opportunities in IIT KGP will be more.
The water resources have limited scope considering the Indian employment scenario. If you are giving preference to the subject then join IIT Bhubaneswar. If your preference is not the subject then join IIT KGP because exposure and opportunities will be more in IIT KGP. A student planning for Ph.D. after M-tech will have much better scopes in IIT KGP than IIT Bhubaneswar.
