Which one is best for Computer Science Engineering, Jaypee University of Information Technology (Solan), CGC, Chandigarh University, Chitkara University or Lovely Professional University?
My suggestion would be to go for a BTech (CSE) at LPU. First of all, LPU is ranked 50 among top engineering institutes in India by NIRF Ranking 2023. Moreover, you’ll have the option to pursue specialised BTech programs at LPU, for e.g. industry collaboration, work integration, international credit transfer option, etc.
Here are some of the top features of pursuing a BTech (CSE) at LPU.
- BTech at LPU has industry collaborations with top global conglomerates like Google, Microsoft, Dell, Cisco, Bosch, etc.
- BTech Placements at LPU are excellent with the highest package being INR 64 LPA in 2023.
- Every year there are over 900 recruiters that visit LPU for BTech placements.
- Pursuing a BTech at LPU can give you the opportunity to serve as a campus ambassador for Google, Amazon, Intel, etc.
- LPU offers various scholarships and tuition fee waivers for its BTech students.
Based on the above reasons, I would suggest you choose LPU for your B.Tech CSE programme.
Which certification course is the best for project management, IIM Rohtak or Six Sigma Green Belt from Indian Statistical Institute?
Both the certification courses PMP and SSGB fall under the Operations domain yet are very different in reality.
PMP: This course facilitates handling and delivering projects efficiently and quickly. If you are interested in Project Management, the best option is the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification which is affiliated with Project Management Institute, PMI, USA. It
also provides PDUs.
SSBM: This course facilitates proper optimization of business processes, minimizing waste and time wastage. If you are interested in the Six Sigma Green Belt (SSGB), then Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) Kolkata is the best option available. Some even think ISI Pune is good yet I will recommend you to go for Kolkata itself.
Is it necessary to be sponsored by the company to get enrolled in CBA (Certificate program in business analytics) offered by ISB Hyderabad?
No, it’s not necessarily sponsored by your company in order to get enrolled in the Certificate Program in Business Analytics offered by IBS Hyderabad. In case you are not sponsored, all you have to do is finance the program on your own. So the issue lies in financing and not getting a sponsorship.
However, you might need your company's approval for pursuing the course as the course requires 6 visits (once in 2 months). These visits last for 5 days so you have to take frequent leaves from your company. If you are confident that taking such leaves won’t be an issue you can get away with an approval. However if taking such leaves becomes an issue, you should inform your company regarding the program beforehand so that they can easily grant you the necessary permission.
THE CBA program in ISB Hyderabad just requires the salary slip of the last two months as proof of your employment. They do ask for the No-Objection letter from the company but if anyone fails to produce it, it’s not a big issue.
How do companies perceive these IIM Rohtak EPGPX courses like?
Even though all IIMs have converted their PGP and EPGP programs into MBA degrees, IIM Rohtak continues to offer Post Graduate Diplomas. Companies do not regard this program as an MBA qualification. It is regarded as a Diploma course from IIM Rohtak, a step down from the two-year EPGP or PGP. Candidates who complete this course are not eligible to pursue a Ph.D., FPM (or even EFPM) from any IIM (including IIM Rohtak).
Fees for a one-year online program are also extremely high. All IIM MBA programs are now GST-free, but IIM Rohtak continues to charge fees that are "inclusive of taxes" even though there aren't any (if the course is truly an EPGP/PGP). Businesses would place a higher value on two-year PGP or EPGP programs, like the one offered by IIM Kozhikode.
Is IILM good for MBA/PGDM? What other courses does it offer in management?
MBA/PGDM from IILM University is one of the best Management courses offered. This course is a rich blend of quality education, experiential learning, live industry projects to work on, subjects co-taught by the top industry people, paid internships, and very good placements. The course excels in almost every aspect. Some major reasons why an MBA from IILM is worthwhile are
- The university helps students get placed by keeping special placement sessions from year 1
- Special group discussions and interview skill enhancement sessions are conducted to improve overall personality
- Mentoring is one of the major highlights of the course, wherein every student is allotted an industry mentor and a faculty mentor.
- Located in the corporate hub, IILM enjoys a locational advantage to a great extent
- There are regular events conducted by various clubs and societies like the Finance club, Cultural club, Entrepreneurship, Marketing club, etc.
All these points make IILM a very good choice for an MBA. The courses it offers in Management are - BBA and MBA with specialization in Entrepreneurship, Financial Technology, Business Analytics, Marketing and Innovation, and Human Resource Management
How is PGDM from IMS Noida?
According to the general opinion, IMS Ghaziabad is better than IMS Noida. This opinion seems to be right as IMS Noida has a very poor placement scenario with many unplaced students. I will suggest you keep IMS Noida as the last option and target better colleges provided that you have a MAT score of 96+. The two options you can consider before finally choosing IMS Noida are
- IPE PGDM Banking and Finance
- BIMM Pune
Most of the time the figures revealed online are misleading and inflated solely for advertisement. You can contact the alumni, mention your area of interest in the job and then enquire about
- Job profile security
- Bulk hire, and fire
- In hand salary
With relative knowledge about these, you might get a more honest picture. The last option is to re-attempt MAT and score higher than before so that you can target top tier 1 like Great Lakes, SIMSREE, XIME, and BIMTECH Noida which have sound credibility.
Which is better for an MBA, IIM Amritsar or IIT Roorkee?
IIT Roorkee is a better option for an MBA. It is not just the IIM tag that one should consider while choosing a business school. There are various factors like the establishment year of an institute, course fee, location, placement scenario, faculty, infrastructure, alumni network, etc. that must be considered during the selection.
IIT Roorkee is a well-established institution with a long history of excellence. Its Department of Management Studies (DoMS) has been functioning since 1998. On the other hand, IIM Amritsar is one of the newer IIMs in India, having been established in 2015.
Here are the MBA placement statistics of both DoMS (IIT Roorkee) and IIM Amritsar for 2023:
| PARTICULARS | (DoMS) IIT ROORKEE | IIM AMRITSAR |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Recruiters | 50+ | 110+ |
| Total number of students | 69 | 212 |
| Highest CTC | INR 25.8 LPA | INR 25.21 LPA |
| Average CTC | INR 16.8 LPA | INR 14.63 LPA |
| Median CTC | INR 18 LPA | INR 13.54 LPA |
| Top Recruiters | Deloitte, EY, Paytm, ICICI Bank, Vedanta, Infosys, etc. | Accenture, Cognizant, Dell, Deloitte, Genpact, and others. |
IIT Roorkee offers good placements, but more than that, it provides a rich academic environment to its students. The students of DoMS don’t just interact with each other, but also with the students of other departments like engineering. This enhances their understanding of things, and helps in the exchange of diverse perspectives.
IIT Roorkee is much older to IIM Amritsar, which is why it offers a rich alumni network and a strong brand name.
Because of these reasons, I would recommend you choose IIT Roorkee over IIM Amritsar for an MBA.

Which course should I choose between IIML ABM, SPJAIN IM and IIM Shillong PGP?
No matter which B School you choose, PGP is always a better choice than ABM. But there might be a specific reason why you got an ABM offer rather than a PGP. But at IIM Lucknow, students of both programs are offered equal opportunities. These include final placements. summer placements and subsequent PPOs.
The major drawback of ABM is that you are deprived of the PGP electives and can cover ABM electives only. These electives cover strategy marketing and operations.
Talking about your offer from SP JAIN for IM, let me tell you that in this regard, IIM Shillong is a much better choice. Its campus in Dubai is a testament to its worth.
Which college is better for a BA triple major, Christ University or St. Joseph College (Bangalore) in terms of extra curriculars as well as freedom?
Both Christ University and St. Joseph College Bangalore are reputed. In terms of quality of education, the former is a little ahead. However, economically St. Joseph is a better choice. As the course fees are more affordable. But both will provide you with decent opportunities. Christ offers better foreign exposure in terms of foreign lecturers and professors.
Christ is also quite strict regarding dress codes and rules on campus. Accommodation around Christ is cheaper compared to St. Joseph. Since St. Joseph is located in central Bangalore.
You can choose either of these two institutions, according to your convenience
