How's your life at IIM Indore? Is it worth joining the institute for IPM?
Yes. It is absolutely worth joining IIM Indore for the IPM Program. Though, you need to clear the IPMAT and the interviews. One of my friends had completed the IPM program at IIM Indore and here are some facts that may be useful to you.
- You will have some very interesting subjects from the trinity of mathematics, social science, and performing arts. It will equip you with really dynamic skills and significant learning.
- You will meet some of the best minds from diverse backgrounds in this course.
- There are over 15000 applications for 120 seats. Thus, you can assume the quality of peer and peer learning.
- The campus has two well-equipped gyms, an Olympic-size pool, a Finance resource centre, an Entrepreneurial incubation cell, and an Onus cashless card payment system.
- Also, there are regular shuttle bus services for going into the city.
- The daily schedule of the students is usually packed with classes in the morning and maybe a few more in the afternoon.
- After that, there is a complete makeover, students run to juice centers, along with the Chai shops, special Indori Poha at Poha point, HUL's Adda, and many other eating points.
In the evening, things are a bit relaxed as people pursue their interests, sports or hang out with their friends. Things might be hectic on some days, but it will not be boring at IIM Indore.
What is your review of Institute of Management Studies, Ghaziabad?
One of my cousins studied at the Institute of Management Studies, Ghaziabad. According to him, it is not a good institute, he suggests not to go for it. Let me describe why he feels this way.
- It provides 100% placement, but the majority of companies that come here are looking for sales aspirants. The packages are also inadequate, ranging from 3-5 LPA.
- The teaching is good. There would be constant group discussions and presentations.
- Academics do not have much value because just good grades will not get you a job. You need proper skills too.
- The college has been around for nearly 30 years and still cannot attract good companies. This clearly demonstrates how inept this college has been as they have been busy swindling out money from people by making false claims.
Complaints from many students like my cousin were never taken into consideration. They have spent a lot of money here, and this is the response they get from the administration.
The only good thing about this college is that they offer a Study Tour to Singapore. Honestly, it is better to remain an undergraduate or take a year off to retake the CAT and other aptitude exams in order to join a good institute.
How is the placement of ECE branch in BIT Mesra?
You’ll receive ample placement opportunities at BIT Mesra, given that you understand electronics well. You may consider joining Robolution, which will give you an edge over the others. Qualcomm visits the ECE department with good offers. A few years back, it appointed 4-5 ECE students for a package of 15 LPA. If you are willing to put in the extra effort and learn coding, you may get into good IT companies. Some of them being- Microsoft, Amazon and IBM.
Academically, the ECE department of BIT Mesra isn’t the most ideal choice. This is because the department faculty is strict, and the curriculum is tough. If you couldn’t get CSE at BIT Mesra, you can try for IT instead of ECE. The ECE branch requires a lot of effort and time, which can be overwhelming.
Which electronic gadgets are allowed inside an NALSAR hostel?
Except for mobile phones and laptops, nothing is allowed. The authority will just overlook certain gadgets like blow dryers, irons, hot plates, etc during the inspection which is not less than a raid. Gadgets like air coolers, air conditioners, refrigerators which consume a lot of electricity are not allowed.
However, to be frank you have nothing to fear. During any inspection, you will find the library crowded as all the students lock their rooms and sit there.
How does the CV of students who get selected in IIMs(any), ISB, XLRI, FMS, SPJIMER, JBIMS look like?
Naturally, it’s not possible to talk about CVs of all students who get selected at these B-schools. CVs of around the top 15-20% of students selected at IIMs, XLRI, FMS, or other popular management institutes are exceptional. But CV of an average student at these institutes usually has the following attributes.
Academics and Co-curricular activities:
Every student getting admission at these institutes doesn’t have international level or national level olympiads or other achievements. An average student usually has a few subject scores to boast about, a few competitive examination scores, some co-curricular activities, and a few certifications.
Work experience and Internships:
Most students have one or two job experiences. For this section, proper presentation helps a lot. If you present your job experience properly, your CV will look impressive.
Position of responsibilities:
Every student getting into IIM and other top management institutes doesn’t have exceptional PORs. Most student talks about their role in college fests and the responsibilities attached to it, NGO work, or a captain or vice-captain role in sports teams.
Extracurricular Activities:
Around 70% of students getting admission at these institutes have few social service initiatives, school/college level sports achievements, school/college level cultural achievements.
One of my friends recently graduated from SPJIMR, and his CV was average.
- Academics: 10th - 92.4%, 12th - 82.6%, Graduation - 77.09%
- He had nothing mentionable for Extra Curriculars and Positions of Responsibilities.
The two things that helped him get selected are his CAT score, i.e. 99.38 percentile, and work experience at a Top 20 Fortune 500 Automobile Firm.
This is the case for most students getting admission to these institutes. Only one or two sections of their CV stand out and the rest is fairly average.
Is it a better choice for choosing FMS Delhi over IIM A or IIM B when compared to placement salary?
There is no question at all if you are optimising for salary in the short term. On average, you would earn more at IIM Ahmedabad and Bangalore than at FMS. In the long run, it will be much more dependent on you and a little bit on the profile you want to work in. However, ceteris paribus and on average IIM Ahmedabad or IIM Bangalore will earn more or as much as an FMS grad. Choose A or B if you want to maximise your placement salary.
Whether you should optimise for placement salary is a different question, and the answer depends on what you want to do with your life.
Why has BIT Mesra gone down so drastically? Will it ever come back to normal?
There are various reasons combined together that have resulted in deteriorating education opportunities and quality at BIT Mesra. Despite the huge amount of funds ranging into hundreds of crores, the institute has been receiving, there is no improvement in the situation at all. Here are a few reasons why BIT Mesra has suffered a deteriorating situation over the past few years
- C.K. Birla Group is financially highly unstable and thus adds to the insecurity of the institute as a whole.
- The government of Jharkhand has bad ties with BIT because the CM of Jharkhand was kicked out of BIT without a degree.
- The faculty is worse than VIT, Manipal, RVCE, etc. The poor quality of facilities is the major reason for its drastic downfall. Most of the professors are underqualified or not interested in teaching.
- The college promotes zero research culture and this has resulted in a gradual downfall.
- There is a huge communication gap between the administration and students. Students should be given positions in administration and the administration should work on improving the facilities such as the incubation center for the betterment of the institute.
- The T n P Cell is also responsible for the fall in the placements. They have minimal connections with alumni and fail to attract better companies.
- The institute lacks International Collaborations for undergraduate internships and research.
The students should work hard to bring about the above changes if they want to save their college from falling into the pit.

- Faculty: Both the colleges have excellent faculty, so there are no clear winners that can be declared based on this parameter. The Teachers are highly qualified in their respective fields.
- Syllabus: PES University has a more relevant syllabus than RVCE but the professors' methodology to teach at PES University is not satisfactory. RVCE has a modern syllabus for core branches, but it still lags compared to other top colleges in the country.
- Students: After considering and analyzing the CET cutoffs and enrollment data we can conclude that RVCE is the choice of the majority of the toppers.
- Campus: RVCE has a larger campus as compared to PES University but the campus of PES University is better maintained.
RVCE College can be said to be No.1 but choosing PES University can not be considered a bad choice. You should try and consider other factors as well before making the final decision. You can choose either of the two colleges and can still make it big in life.
