One cannot easily choose IIM Ahmedabad over elite business schools abroad like Harvard Business Schools. But if one actually does then the main reasons could be

  1. Long term market: If you are willing to work in India for the long term, then IIM Ahmedabad is for you. This is because every business school provides best access to domestic markets. So if you want to stay in India IIM Ahmedabad offers the best access throughout Indian Markets.

  2. Opportunities at fairly less cost: India is a developing country and its market is slowly coming at par with the US market. So if you are looking for an investment less earn more opportunity, IIM Ahmedabad is a good option.

  3. Personal Convenience: It is not an exaggeration to say the quality of life you will be experiencing in your home country with your family will never be the same as that of abroad.

So both the B Schools are fantastic options. It depends on your convenience which to choose. If you wish to stay in India, IIM Ahmedabad is for you. But if you want to explore the US market go for any elite business school abroad.

Which college is better, IIT Guwahati, or IIT BHU ?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : May 1st, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

If you are currently deciding between IIT Guwahati and IIT BHU, it is important to consider several factors before making your final decision. While both institutions are highly ranked and reputable, they do have some differences that may be important to you. Here are some things to keep in mind:

  1. Choose a branch based on your interests: It is crucial to select a branch that you are passionate about, rather than one that is popular or has a higher ranking. Pursuing a field that you enjoy and excel in can lead to a more fulfilling and successful career.
  2. IIT Guwahati has better infrastructure: If you value modern facilities and equipment, then IIT Guwahati may be the better option for you. It is known for its advanced laboratories, libraries, and classrooms.
  3. IIT BHU has better placement opportunities: If job prospects after graduation are your top priority, then IIT BHU may be the better choice. It has a strong alumni network, and more international companies tend to visit the campus for recruitment purposes.
  4. Consider cultural societies: If you are interested in extracurricular activities, then you may want to look into the cultural societies at each institution. Both IIT Guwahati and IIT BHU have a range of clubs and organizations, but they may differ in terms of focus and opportunities.
  5. CSE at BHU is better than ECE or Mech: If you are considering a specific branch, such as computer science, then it is worth noting that IIT BHU has a particularly strong program in this area. This may be a factor to consider if you are specifically interested in CSE.

In summary, both IIT Guwahati and IIT BHU have their strengths and weaknesses. Ultimately, the choice between the two comes down to your personal priorities and interests. If you prioritize infrastructure and facilities, then IIT Guwahati may be the better option. On the other hand, if placement opportunities and a strong alumni network are your main concerns, then IIT BHU may be a better fit. Whatever your decision, be sure to choose a branch that aligns with your passions and goals.

I have a choice between IT (Information Technology) in NIT, Surathkal and CS (computer science) in RVCE, Bangalore. Which one would be a better choice in terms of placements, Brand name etc.?

RS
Rima Sarkar Posted On : March 22nd, 2021
IIT BHU (2019)

Between the options, you should choose NIT Surathkal IT. Here are the reasons why. 

  • The syllabus difference between IT and CSE is not so much in this institute.
  • The placement process in the institute is exceptional, specifically for the circuit branches, including IT, CSE, ECE, and EEE. However, in the last year, students are recruited by Google and Microsoft.
  • NITK has its own brand name. Maybe it is an NIT, but the students here get a lot of exposure. JEE Mains toppers mainly take admission in this institute every year.

Here is a full overview of NIT Surathkal

You will have to stay here in the hostel, which provides a good experience for them. During the tenure of the course, you will learn how to take care of yourself. Also, if your hometown is Bangalore, then you can frequently visit home.

Which is better, IIIT Sonipat, IIIT Una, or IIIT Vadodara?

TG
Tanmay Ghosh Posted On : March 26th, 2021
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Information Technology, Vadodara (2022)

Direct communication cannot be compared but one of my friends suggested that IIIT Vadodara is an older institute in comparison to the others. The placement officer of IIIT V is good and will be helping in getting good placements by calling good companies to the campus. The college also sends for internships in companies like Amazon. Some of the students also got selected in Google Summer of code.

The comparison table of IIIT Sonepat, IIIT Una, or IIIT Vadodara is as follows:

IIIT Una

IIIT Vadodara

IIIT Sonepat

Placement percentages

100%

100%

82%

Average package

8-9 Lakhs

13 Lakhs

8.19 Lakhs

Highest package

13.6 Lakhs

43.5 Lakhs

40.63 Lakhs

Top recruiting companies

IBM, Reliance Jio, L&T InfoTech, Ebiz ON, First American etc.

Amazon, Mathworks, Adobe, Quikr, Siemens, Sigmoid, ICICI Bank,etc.

Adobe System, IBM, Q3 Technology, Posist Technology etc.

Since IIIT Una has recently opened, it is not working independently. This college has no relation with NIT Hamirpur which makes it a bit risky. 

IIIT Sonepat is much better in terms of placement. The reason is that the companies find it much closer in distance as compared to other institutions. It can be suggested that you first check admission at IIIT Sonepat then at IIIT Vadodara and then go for IIIT Una. 

It is always suggested to look for more information from the old alumni IIIT V as they will better tell you about the past placements.

Which one is more prestigious, a B.A.L.L.B from NLSIU, Bangalore, a B.Tech from IIT or an Arts degree from St. Stephen's College, DU?

TS
Tiyasa Saini Posted On : September 28th, 2021
Studied Business Economics & Psychology at University of Delhi (2019)

These are three very different fields that can not be compared with each other whatsoever. Each of them is prestigious in itself. They can not be put in an order. Still, here are some basic points worth mentioning.

  • If earning a decent amount of money is your ultimate goal, it is suggested that you go for IIT, as it will provide you with the most straightforward career path.
  • If you aspire to be in a powerful or influential position, you can opt for NLSIU. But this will require immense hard work and practical training.
  • If you want to study in a popular institution and their brand value interests you more, go for IIT.
  • If you are competent enough, you can opt for NLSIU, as it is claimed to be tougher than the IITs as well.

A more important question that you should ask yourself is “What does my interest lie in?” The way you pursue the course will decide its worth then. You should make sure that you flourish in whatever you do and build a good career out of it.

Which is better, new IITs or BITS Hyderabad and Goa?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : December 19th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

There are several parameters on which one can compare BITS Hyderabad/Goa with the new IITs. Some of them are-

  • Infrastructure- BITS have a much better infrastructure as compared to the new IITs. Moreover, at BITS, one gets single occupancy hostel rooms from the first year itself.
  • Education- In terms of education, all the IITs, NITs and BITs are mostly at par with one another. But BITS doesn’t have an attendance criteria, unlike the IITs. This comes as a relief, especially if one is preparing for some entrance exams on the side.
  • Brand Name- BITS Pilani is as big a brand as the old IITs, and BITS Hyderabad/Goa are comparable in that sense to the new IITs.
  • Placements- BITS Hyderabad/Goa are slightly better at overall placements, but the scenario is better for core jobs at new IITs.
  • Campus life- The campus life and senior-junior interaction is again better at BITS campuses.

The decision is yours, but you won’t regret choosing any of these colleges.

What is the best MBA college in Bangalore amongst these three: Don Bosco Group, National School of Business & IIBS?

SG
Saheli Ghosh Posted On : April 13th, 2021
Studied Master of Business Administration Degrees at IIBS Bangalore

One of my friends has told me that IIBS is not so good for studying MBA, as he was in the first batch of this institute. The college administrators have lied from their first day, and he is sure enough that it is still there. 

  • When my friend saw the building and experienced the administration, he becomes terrified, although he is well-placed now due to his arduous work and concentration. 
  • The placement opportunity for the first batch was horrible, but some of the students got offered in Dubai. The college has been investing in many students for its advertising. 
  • Students from low financial backgrounds are forced ridiculously to sell their savings account and their credit cards in the placement. Thus, many students were compelled to return to their homes as they already have heavy loans for their studies.
  • Students crowd is mostly from UP and Bihar, with their nasty behaviors and manners and their rural laden converse. It should not be the environment of an MBA college.
  • One of the ex-director, namely Biswas, of this institute always misguided the students. At the time of admission, he talked very nicely, but after taking the admission, the student will understand how bad he is.
  • College MD is very cunning, and he speaks very little but observes the people a lot. So the student must be conscientious if they will take admission through this person because this person earns approximately 40K as a referral code for the student admission.

Thus, the best suggestion is to study for CAT to get a better score and find the best MBA College rather than IIBS.

Which is better: an IT at the IIIT Allahabad, CSE at NIT Rourkela or CSE at MANIT Bhopal?

RA
Ritesh Agarwal Posted On : March 11th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (2013)

One of my friends told me that these three institutes must be in this order like; IIIT A>>> NIT Bhopal>= NIT Rourkela. Although he was a student of NIT Rourkela.

He stated that between these three, Rourkela and Bhopal are more or less equal. However, both of these institutes consist of some advantages and disadvantages as well. 

If NIT Bhopal is considered and compared with NIT Rourkela, then it must be said that NIT Bhopal's strength is a large batch size; IT+CSE. But the main advantage of NIT Bhopal is the location and nearby airport transport facilities that conceal all the advantages of this institute. For this reason, NIT Bhopal experiences big recruiters every year, and NIT Rourkela misses this entirely. This is the reason why NIT Bhopal is one step ahead of NIT Rourkela.

Categories

IT at IIIT Allahabad

CSE at NIT Rourkela

CSE at NIT Bhopal

Course Fee

6.40 lakh

5.59 lakh

Placement Percentage

Highest CTC

Recruiting Companies

Google, Amazon, Flipkart, Goldman, Nutanix, etc.

Microsoft, Dell, PwC, Goldman Sachs, SAP Labs, Analog Devices, Myntra, Amazon, etc.

Amazon, Microsoft, Samsung, Capgemini, Deutsche Bank, Barclays, TCS, L&T, C-Dot etc.

However, at NIT Rourkela, M.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) is almost similar to doing M.Tech in IITs. But in the case of Bhopal, the students can sit for placements for all the big companies in the campus recruitment process along with B.Tech companies. It will be better to avoid IIIT Allahabad for doing M.Tech in CSE, as placement opportunities in this institute are not good. This thing is that IIIT Allahabad does not allow M.Tech students to attend for placement in the on-campus recruitment process.

Thus, it can be stated that for the B.Tech course, IIIT Allahabad>> NIT Bhopal> NIT Rourkela.

Which is better, ISB Hyderabad or IIM Ahmedabad for 1 year executive MBA?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 15th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

ISB Hyderabad is certainly a better choice than IIM Ahmedabad for a 1 year MBA executive. It has better faculty, an international student profile, an amazing campus, and more than 800 students in a single batch. The admission process is also simpler than IIM Ahmedabad. ISB Hyderabad has a much more diverse crowd than IIM Ahmedabad which usually comprises CS-related people. 

PGP-X at IIMA is its flagship program whereas the one-year program in ISB is their main program so it carries more value and more focus is given to that program. 

IIM Ahmedabad too has its own perks one of them being its rich legacy of 50+ years and an excellent alumni enterprise spread across the globe. Also, since the batch is smaller the competition is less so the placement opportunities are more. Recruiters coming to hire PGP students also roll out lateral offers for PGP-X students.

Ultimately, choose the one that aligns with your personal preferences and future goals.

Which is a better option for EEE, NIT Trichy, or BITS Goa?

SP
Shankar Pandey Posted On : March 21st, 2023
B.Tech Production and Industrial Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli (2020)

You will find that both NIT TRICHY and BITS Goa are excellent colleges for EEE, and they can be rated on par based on the following parameters:

  • Teaching quality
  • Infrastructure
  • Labs
  • Campus Interviews
  • Academic Rigour
  • Hostels
  • Technical and Cultural Festivals
  • Campus Life
  • Peer groups
  • Mess food

If you have a financial constraint, you may find it beneficial to join NIT TRICHY since their fees are less than half of BITS.

Alternatively, if you value having a flexible timetable where you get to choose your own professors, or if you prefer the concept of zero attendance policy, BITS may be a better fit for you.

Keep in mind that BITS does not have a reservation policy for SC/ST/OBC.
