It’s your attitude towards learning that matters more than the college itself. Yet if I have to comment on the two colleges, I would say Christ University is a fairly good choice. The main reasons are
However, if you are joining the college with the mindset of being taught then you need to rectify it. Here it’s you who has to force yourself to learn no one is going to push you. Anyone who wants to learn about business, in reality, will not be able to gain much from this B School. The B School churns out managers only. Rarely does it give birth to a business owner or entrepreneur despite the university’s module for entrepreneurship in a semester.
For the reasons listed below, you ought to select IIM Indore:
In terms of infrastructure and natural beauty, the 197-acre campus ranks among the best B-school campuses in the nation.
If you are working in a company with great turnover and managing a leadership role, this programme is of little benefit to you. But if you want to open your own start-up and are willing to learn the know-how of business management and leadership skills this course welcomes you. Some major benefits of the course are:
Many companies sponsor for you and are willing to take you back after the course
This programme should be undertaken with long term benefits in mind. You should be confident that broadening your horizons will definitely pay you back one day later or sooner.
For people who are always willing to learn more and more it’s the perfect course. It’s a tightly packed one year programme
But every coin has two sides. As much as this course is beneficial in the long run it has its own drawbacks. Some drawbacks you should definitely know are:
People who have lost their touch in academics will not be able to cope with the tight scheduled course
The placement opportunities are rare around 10-20% of the entire batch
People who are low on budget tend to take educational loans which are not worth this course.
So this course has its benefits but they are long term and one needs patience to uncover them.
TISS offers one of the best HRM programs, rivaling that of XLRI HR, and has produced highly competent individuals in this field. If you have a strong passion for HR and are confident in your choice, TISS would be an excellent choice for you to pursue this specialization.
On the other hand, if you are uncertain about your career path, it may be advantageous to keep your options open. In this scenario, it would be best to choose a college that allows you to decide on your stream later, rather than committing to a specific specialization immediately. This approach has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it ultimately comes down to personal preference and what best suits your individual needs and goals.
Regardless of your choice, both TISS and JBIMS have top-notch individuals in all areas of management, so you can be assured that you will receive a high-quality education and have the opportunity to be mentored by skilled professionals.
Material Sciences in CEG started 9 years before and in such a short span it has gained recognition. It has made a significant contribution to the research of the country. The significance of the program has been described on the basis of the following aspects.
Research: Research is the most impressive feature of this course. The funding provided by the Center for Technology Development and Transfer during the third year is extremely helpful and encourages students to take up research.
Faculty: Although the faculty is extremely supportive, some of them lack specialization in materials science.
Course: The course has a variety of options for electives. It is extremely structured and moderate-paced.
Infrastructure: This is where the course lacks the most. It does not have a separate department and operates under the department of Mechanical Engineering. Also, there is a lack of equipment required for the course.
Alumni: The number of alumni is less as the course has recently started. But most of them are now working at extremely good universities around the world and India or are placed in very good companies (both in core materials science and IT).
Internships: CEG renders excellent exposure. A vast amount of undergrads perform research in various laboratories across the world during their second and third years. This helps in securing jobs in the future.
Your options at CUSAT will vary depending on your domicile. If you are from Kerala, you can expect to get almost any branch at CUSAT with your rank. In that case, opt for Ship Tech or Safety and Fire Engineering. CS is also a good option.
If you belong to some other state, you won’t get Ship Tech or Safety and Fire. You can get the second one during spot round, if you are lucky enough. So, you’ll be left with EEE, ECE, Civil, IT, CS and Mechanical as your options. Out of these, CS and ECE are the best choices at CUSAT.
Consider your options carefully, and make the decision accordingly.
As a fresher, you will find the curriculum quite hectic and unapproachable. Yet with proper motivation and enough time you will find yourself adapting to the rigor and it will become a part of your life. Some major highlights of the course are

According to my friends at XLRI,it is a very popular and reputed business school. There are basically two famous PG Diploma courses - PGD-PMIR (Personnel Management and Industrial Relations) and PGD-BM (Business Management)
These are considered equivalent to MBA courses by AICTE. The PMIR program has been now updated to HRM (Human Resource Management) program. These programs have a strong reputation in the corporate world. The BM program is also as good as the IIM-A, B, and C.

You can definitely join this college to continue your studies in the field of business and commerce.

It may not be right to compare the colleges under DU among each other. As most of them have similar curriculum and teaching techniques.
But if infrastructure is considered Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College (DDUC) is far better than other colleges under DU. As it is a newly established institution, the facilities provided are upgraded with the latest technology.
They also are known to have a very highly experienced faculty, some of them even having 20-30 years of teaching experience. DDUC is popular for its Science and Commerce streams.
Therefore if you wish to choose among DDUC and ARSD College for an Honours degree in Computer Science, it is suggested that you go for the former rather than the latter.
