Is it valuable doing MA after Bsc from IGNOU?
No, it’s not valuable for someone to go for an MA after graduating from science. Unless you have a specific target or reason behind pursuing PG in arts it’s not recommended at all.
The course you are opting for should have a direct connection with the industry you are planning to enter. Focus on your goal and pursue the program related to that specific field.
People with no specific goals regarding the industry or profession are much more likely to come across such questions. Redefine and recognise your goals and then if it still suits you best, go for PG in arts.
What were subjects taught or 'majors' in Nalanda University in ancient India?
Most of the things we know about Nalanda University are from Tibetan traditions and preachings. There are many accounts about Nalanda by Hiuen Tsang and Yijing who preached Buddhism in China by adapting many texts from Nalanda University.
Apparently, there are four doxographies on Buddhist philosophies taught at Nalanda which are as follows.
- Sarvastivada Vaibhasika (which is based on early orthodox Kashmiri Buddhist tradition)
- Sarvastivada Sautrantika
- Madhyamaka, the Mahayana philosophy of Nagarjuna
- Chittamatra, the Mahayana philosophy of Asanga and Vasubandhu
Along with these, for major preachings, Nalanda also focused on Vedic learning which revolved around Vedic texts, rituals, Samkhya, and the Vedangas. Medicine, law, astronomy, city planning, linguistics, and reasoning were also part of their curriculum.
How do the new HR programs of IIM Ranchi, NMIMS, and XIMB measure up to the established ones of XLRI, TISS, MDI and SCMHRD?
The simple answer to your question is no, the new HR programs of IIM Ranchi, NMIMS, or XIMB are not at par with the established ones XLRI, TISS, MDI, and SCMHRD. The established programs especially that of XLRI are the epitome of HR programs. They cannot be compared to the new ones at any given level or parameter.
- Faculty: The professors of XLRI are renowned throughout the industry for their competency. They specialize in almost every domain one can think of be it Law, Competency Modeling, Compensation, or Performance Management.
- Peers: It’s the cream students who get the opportunity to get into a prestigious college like XLRI. You can see tough competition between the finest students at college. Every individual has a valuable opinion and stands to contradict others. Their thinking pattern is broad and given a case study, they look at all angles from accounting to finance to laws while proposing the solution. The situation at TISS is also quite similar.
Now one can say that the curriculum can be replicated and learned faculty can be sought to match the quality of the HR program at these institutes. But the truth is faculty and curriculum are the main but not the only factors that determine an institute's worth. Its own culture, ethics, and background have a lot to do with the programs it offers.
So one cannot match XLRIs programs no matter how much they try.
What are the best one year full-time executive MBA courses in India? Can anyone who has done the IPMX course at IIM Lucknow share their experience?
There are mainly 3 MBA programs in India:
- Two Year Program in Management- Aimed at people with less than 2 years of experience
- One Year Program in Management- Aimed at people with 2-15 years of experience
- Part Time Program in Management- Aimed at working professionals
Before we dwell on the best one-year full-time executive MBA courses in India, let’s understand what exactly a one year program is.
The 1-year-program gained fame in India after the success of ISB in the early 2000s. IIMs and other institutes initiated the same and have been offering the 1-year program since late 2000s. This program mainly offers high-quality education for experienced professionals. Some best programs offered in India are
- ISB- PGP (Post Graduate Program)
- IIM Ahmedabad- PGPX (Post Graduate Program for Executives)
- IIM Bangalore- EPGP (Executive Post Graduate Program)
- IIM Kolkata- PGPeX (Post Graduate Program for Executives)
- IIM Lucknow- IPMX (International Program in Management for Executives)
The admissions happen on the basis of GMAT, Essays, and Interviews. It is primarily meant for people with several years of experience but who want to upgrade their managerial skills.
The best part is that the 1-year-program is equivalent to an MBA internationally. Infact, major international rankings such as Financial Times consider the 1-year program. So the 1-year program at the top B-Schools in India will give you a similar experience academically.
As far as the IPMX course is concerned, it is not an Executive MBA.
How good is the IIM Ahmedabad PGPX 1-year full-time program?
If your current package is less than 15 LPA, pursuing PGPX 1-year full-time program at IIM Ahmedabad is good. You should look at international colleges if your current package exceeds 15 LPA. You should always do your MBA and find a job outside of India. India is simply the world's back office. It is different if you want to be an IAS officer, but Indian corporate is slavery and junk. Working here for an extended period of time will undoubtedly turn you into a lunatic.
One week of college life is enough to demonstrate the quality of American education. The tasks are out of this world. Americans are among the world's smartest and most innovative people. As a last resort, continue your education in India. Even if you have more than 5 years of work experience, IIM A/ISB will only hire you in one of India's back offices.
Which is best option, the executive program in sales and marketing at IIM Calcutta or the postgraduate certification in business management at XLRI, Jamshedpur?
Only the full-time PGP courses of IIM Calcutta or XLRI are valuable. All other degrees/certificates are the only means of earning money by the institutes.
-
They have no real value in real life or the corporate world.
-
They won’t be very useful if you want to learn.
-
They add no value to your CV
-
You will not be considered alumni of the institute
So these certificate courses/ part-time programs/ Executive programs carry no real value at all. Most people are misled to believe that they might add value to their CV.

How good is finance in IMT Ghaziabad? What are the placement opportunities? How is it compared to PGDM general?
IMT Ghaziabad is called the Mecca for Marketing. It’s well known for its specialization in Marketing, Sales, and Business Development based roles. I don't think it offers similar opportunities for finance as well. The placements are pretty good but getting internship offers is difficult for someone who is switching careers from IT to Finance.
So if you really want to pursue a career in Finance after your MBA from IMT Ghaziabad, you can try CFA, and FRM and have some past background in Finance
Which is better, IIT Hyderabad EEE or IIT Madras mechanical engineering?
IIT Bombay and IIT Madras were established in 1958 and 1959 respectively. Both these institutions have emerged as highly renowned centers of Engineering studies in India. Both IIT Bombay and IIT Madras are more than an institution, they are in fact a brand with a high relevance and strong network in the industry.
The ‘Bombay’ or ‘Madras’ is a part of this brand name. This is not the address of these institutions, as both these cities have long been renamed as Mumbai and Chennai respectively. The institution name has not been altered because of the prestige and legacy carried by both these titles.
Thus, IIT Bombay and IIT Madras haven’t been renamed over the years.
IIT Hyderabad and IIT Madras are some of the most prestigious engineering institutes in India. There’s a huge competition to get into either of them, and both accept JEE Advanced results for B.Tech admissions.
Here is a comparison between B.Tech EEE at IIT Hyderabad and B.Tech Mechanical at IIT Madras-
| Parameters | B.Tech EEE at IIT Hyderabad | B.Tech Mechanical at IIT Madras |
|---|---|---|
| Highest Package (2023) | INR 63.78 LPA | INR 66.26 LPA |
| Average Package (2023) | INR 20.07 LPA | INR 15.92 LPA |
| Top Recruiters on Campus | Google, Oracle, Deloitte, Paytm, Accenture, Jio, Razorpay, L&T, Paypal, KPM. | Texas Instruments, Bajaj Auto Ltd, Cetak Ltd, Qualcomm, and others. |
| Total Fee | INR 8 Lakh | INR 2.15 Lakh (1st Yr Fee) |
| Curriculum | Microwave Engineering, Communication Theory, Semiconductor Packaging Technology, Introduction to Automated Testing, VLSI Digital Signal Processing. | Functions of Several Variables, Physics 1, Thermodynamics, Introduction to Programming, Chemistry, Engineering Mechanics, etc. |
Both the options offer equally good academics and placements. But if Mechanical Engineering truly interests you, I would suggest you opt for IIT Madras without second thoughts. Take some time and thoroughly think about your interest and passion before choosing one branch over the other.
