Which is better, Galgotia College or ABES Engineering College

DK
Divya Khosla Posted On : May 11th, 2021
Studied at ABES Engineering College, Ghaziabad

Galgotias College of Engineering and Technology is obviously better than ABES Engineering College. It should not be confused with the Galgotias University as it is different from this college.

Galgotias College edges past ABES Engineering College in almost every aspect; quality of infrastructure, teaching methodology and faculty, and most importantly placements.

  • Looking at the placement record for 2019-20, Galgotias College of Engineering and Technology had the highest CTC and average CTC of INR 11,18,669 per annum and INR 3,86,000 per annum respectively 
  • ABES Engineering College had the highest CTC of INR 10 LPA.
  • They both are close in case of the locality as well; ABES Engineering College is in Ghaziabad while Galgotias College of Engineering and Technology is in Greater Noida.
  • Both have equally competent faculty, placements, and facilities

So, as we can see there is not much of a difference, in reality, to sway in favor of one over the other. Any college you choose will be equally good for you. More important is your performance in the college to land a top job otherwise no college can give you anything readymade.

Why would you prefer DTU over IIT?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

If you have an average rank but want to get a decent branch then DTU is the best option especially if you are looking forward to the excellent exposure offered in Delhi. A plethora of opportunities are available here and you can intern all through the year. 

Varanasi, Kharagpur, or Roorkee have very few startups and you won’t be gaining the kind of exposure you will be getting here. Additionally, you can avail the benefits of a metro city like better placement opportunities.

Another major reason why you should choose DTDU over IIT is the diversity of the alumni of DTU. You can find DTU alumni literally everywhere from government, PSUs, and startups to high posts in big private companies. Some go for IAS, and IES or are pursuing MBA or MS abroad. The alumni pool is therefore versatile so you can get inspired to pursue a variety of careers rather than restricting yourself to Engineering only. 

However, it’s important to note that the brand value of IITs, their global recognition, flexible curriculum, and excellent faculty pool can never be compared to DTU.

Why is IIM Calcutta not so talked-about as IIMA or IIMB?

DG
Deepak Gupta Posted On : November 24th, 2022
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (Graduated 2017)

I think IIM Calcutta is not as recognized or talked about as IIMA or IIMB because it did not gain fame from Bollywood. Bollywood movies have been shot at IIMA and IIMB. So they are more talked about than IIMC. It has nothing to do with its own facilities. That being said, some amazing features of IIM Calcutta are

  1. Top notch alumni base 

  2. Beautiful campus: The campus of IIM Bangalore is not an average one. Its beautiful infrastructure and location give it a surreal ambiance.

  3. Amazing Placements: IIM Calcutta is the best for finance placements. Reputed banks like Merrill, Credit Suisse, JP Morgan and Chase, Goldman Sachs prefer students of IIM Calcutta over IIMA and IIMB. For consulting IIM Calcutta has all the top 4 Mckinsey, Bain, BCG and AT Kearney.

So nothing about IIM Calcutta is less than other IIMs. It just lacks the general fame, not the works.

Is IIFT Delhi equal to FMS?

SL
Saija Luthra Posted On : January 9th, 2023
IPM from Indian Institute of Management Rohtak (Expected 2024)

Not at all. IIFT Delhi is not equal to FMS. Despite sharing a geographical location, both institutes have established very different standards and are leaders in their respective fields.

FMS is known for its ROI because the total course fee is only INR 1.92 lakhs and the average placement is INR 26.20 lakhs per year. You won't have to worry about EMIs and will have more financial freedom after completing your MBA.

On the contrary, if you want to specialize in international business, IIFT is the place to be. FMS will give you a general management degree, and your electives will determine what you specialize in, whereas the entire IIFT program is geared toward International Business.  FMS lacks infrastructure, which is shared by all DU colleges. IIFT, on the other hand, has a superior infrastructure.

During the IIFT Delhi MBA IB placements 2022, the average package offered was INR 25.16 LPA. Previously, the average packages offered during the 2020 and 2021 IIFT Delhi MBA IB placements were INR 20.48 LPA and INR 21.08 LPA, respectively. As previously stated, FMS, Delhi has an average package of INR 26.20 LPA.

Finally, it comes down to your personal preferences and the institute(s) to which you were admitted. If given the opportunity, there is no reason not to attend either of these two institutions.

Which is better BHU or AMU?

ST
Sakshi Tripathi Posted On : November 15th, 2022
Studied at Banaras Hindu University

BHU and AMU are sister concerns. Both institutes carry forward the same legacy so I don’t think they are comparable. 

People usually want to believe that these biased universities will divide Hindus and Muslims and worsen their relations. But that’s not the case.

Both universities are loyal to their cause- Education. 

As an AMU student, my sister loves her university. She has never visited BHU but she is sure BHU students love their university equally as well. 

So I don’t think the two universities stand a chance of comparison when they both are equally good.

What is the best option among: TAPMI, IFMR, Great Lakes Gurgaon 1 year PGPM?

ND
Nimitya Dutt Posted On : March 20th, 2023
Worked at the Great Lakes Institute of Management (India)

 Remember that the quality of education should be consistent across all institutions. Keep in mind that the MBA program emphasizes teamwork and a unique approach to learning that may differ from traditional education.

  • Consider the financial aspect of pursuing an MBA, as the return on investment (ROI) is crucial. If you plan to take out a loan to finance your education, keep in mind that a significant portion of your salary may go toward paying off your debt. Additionally, the average salary package may include variable pay, meaning you may receive less money than expected.
  • Think about the turnaround time for completing your degree. Some institutions, such as GLIM, offer a one-year PGPM course, which means you can start earning and paying bills sooner than those who opt for a longer program. This can also give you a head start in terms of gaining work experience and building your bank balance.
  • Consider the brand value of the institution you choose to attend. While brand value is important, particularly when seeking employment, it may not hold as much weight in the long term. Ultimately, your achievements and experience will be more important than where you earned your degree.

In the end, it's up to you to determine the best approach for your career. Keep in mind that the right balance of ROI, turnaround time, and brand value will depend on your personal circumstances. For example, if you have the financial means, ROI may not be a priority, while if you're just starting out, turnaround time may be more important than brand value.
