Which one is better, NIT Rourkela or NIT Warangal?
NIT Rourkela and NIT Warangal are among the top NITs. In the NIRF Rankings 2023 for Engineering colleges, NIT Rourkela is at the 16th position while NIT Warangal is at the 21st position.
One of the reasons why NIT R is behind NIT Trichy and NIT Surathkal is because of its poor connectivity. NIT R does not have proper airport and railway facilities. However, the infrastructure and placements at NIT R are top notch and at par with other top Indian Engineering colleges.
Both NIT Rourkela and NIT Warangal are top colleges. It also depends on the branch you get at these two. I would suggest you talk to the alumni from both these colleges before making a final choice.
Which is better, VIT or Thapar University?
Since I have friends from both VIT and Thapar, I think I can answer this.
Thapar University:
- Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology is an esteemed institute and among the best institutions in the country. It is considered among the best innovation-driven private universities and technical institutes in the country. After BITS Pilani, it has been ranked as the best private institute.
- The admissions here are based on JEE score.
- There is no management quota at Thapar.
- The placement opportunities at Thapar University are tremendous. The average package at Thapar ranges around 6.7 LPA.
- The faculties at Thapar are great. You will get to learn both practical and theoretical aspects of subjects. The students are exposed to various internship opportunities as well.
VIT:
VIT Vellore is yet to be at par with Thapar University. Since VIT takes in a huge number of students, the placement quality is declining over the years. The average package at VIT is around 2-3 LPA.
Unless VIT Vellore is closest to your place do not opt for it. Thapar University is better in comparison to VIT Vellore. Hence, go for TU without any hesitation.

The placement depends on the type, ranking, students, and a lot more. All the colleges listed above have a good record of placement. Some have the highest number of students placed in CSE, the some in ECE. It purely depends on the choice of the student of what he/she chooses.
Which is better: RICS or NICMAR?
Both RICS and NICMAR are reputed. On an overall scale, NICMAR will be a better option. It has huge contribution in the construction industry of India.
NICMAR Pune placements are pretty good. You will get opportunities to join reputed MNVs, Contractors, Banks, and IT companies. According to the recent placement highlights, the Real Estate Urban Infrastructure Management had an 100% placement rate. Some of the major recruiters that visit the campus placements are ITC, KPMG, Goldman Sachs, etc. The average CTC offered by the institute is INR 6.75 LPA.
In the construction management sector, NICMAR is a well-recognized brand name.
Which college has a better quality of students, NIT Trichy or BITS Pilani, Pilani?
Both BITS Pilani and NIT Trichy have attracted the best minds in the country and are at par with each other in terms of infrastructure, academics, labs, job opportunities, and alumni network. However, there are two major differences
- NIT Trichy like any other national institute has a quota/reservation for SC/ST/OBC etc but BITS being a private institute accepts students solely on the basis of merit. So the crowd here is more filtered and of better quality.
- BITS Pilani fees are very high so the students there are from the high strata while NITs have competitively low fees so students from weak financial backgrounds also join.
- BITS is hyped for its no-attendance policy and flexible time schedule.
Overall, BITS Pilani certainly gives an edge to NIT Trichy in terms of infrastructure and facilities but that stems from the fact that it is a private institute that charges high fees. So, if you are getting the same branch and you have no financial constraints, go for BITS while if you have money-related issues then NIT Trichy will do you enough. Always prioritize branch over Institute!
GIM or TAPMI: Which one is better for marketing and why?
GIM is definitely better for Marketing specialization due to factors like location, small batch size, and past records.
Here are the salary highlights of 2021 for Marketing -
- GIM Average Package - INR 11.11 LPA
- GIM Highest Package - INR 21.34 LPA
Also, GIM alumni can be found in top marketing companies across the globe.
Other than great placements, GIM is known for its Marketing curriculum. They offer the best case-based theoretical solutions. The visiting faculties at GIM are well-known across the country. Some of them have industry experience of over 10 years. You won’t find the tips and tricks they share about practical marketing in any book.
Should I prefer Sreenidhi or GRIET?
I have a few friends at GRIET, so I can give you some information about the institute.
- Although GRIET is an autonomous college under JNTU, it follows the same syllabus as JNTU. Don’t expect you will learn anything differently at JNTU.
- Most of the faculty members are good however there are some associate professors and professors who don’t have a thorough knowledge of the subject. They use slides to cover the whole syllabus and give assignments that are of no use.
- One of my friends was from ECE and according to him, they were assigned 1 laptop per 2 students. This seems like a nice approach but the con with this is you don’t get to choose your partner and have to do lab work individually.
- The canteen is divided into only girls and boys sections. You are also not allowed to use your phones in the canteen.
- The socio-cultural life at the institute is also very good with the institute celebrating two major events; Pragnya and Pulse. Apart from these two, the institute also celebrates many smaller events and fests as well. The classes also go on during fests as well, as with the norm in many other colleges.
- The rules and regulations can be a little strict. Some students adapt easily while others don’t.
- The placements are good but most of the students are placed in service-based companies. The ratio of getting selected for placements is 1:5 out of 1000.
Sreenidhi also has drawbacks but it is slightly better than GRIET.
How is the IT branch at IIEST Shibpur? How are the faculty and placements related to IT branch? Is it comparable to CSE here?
IT at IIEST Shibpur can be good but you need to utilize the opportunities you get properly. The infrastructure at the institute is good. Microsoft also recruits students from campus placements. In the past students have bagged good internship opportunities. One of the students was accepted for Google California (Internship). Compared to the CSE, the IT branch is a little behind in terms of salary packages offered. However, this branch has good diversity.
Faculties for CSE and IT branches are comparable and the IT department even has better faculty members for a few of the subjects. The main difference between CSE and IT is that IT is a sandwich branch of CST and Electronics. So, naturally, you will need to study some Electronics subjects too. For Communication Systems, the IT branch does not have decent faculties. Adding to that, the subject is also not that useful for the future. Despite that this subject eats a chunk of the time of IT students.
Another difference is CST introduces important subjects like algorithms in the 2nd year itself. Whereas, IT introduces these topics one year later.
Basically, the essence is the same for the two branches, there are some minor differences in curriculum and lab work. How you do in placements depends on your hard work.
Which is better IIM or NICMAR?
It is pretty clear that IIMs are better than NICMAR. I am assuming you are talking about new generation IIMs.
IIMs have a different reputation in the corporate world. All companies die to recruit candidates from IIMs, and in the future, run values of IIMs are only going to increase, and an IIM tag can help you in reaching a CXO level in the corporate world plus IIMs offer a great culture and students life, various clubs and committee and various case competitions in IIMs will help you grooming, and you can make some good connections with the IIM fraternity.
Which is better in terms of fees and placements, SIMS Pune or SIBM Bangalore? Which one should I go for in terms of ROI?
ROI should not only be looked at from the monetary aspect. Rather, ROI should also include the overall personality development of a student. This is because as an MBA student, one does not only invest money but also devotes valuable time for the course.
SIMS Pune has a lesser fee than SIBM Bangalore. For an MBA, SIMS Pune has a fee of around INR 10.5 Lakhs for general category students. The children of defense personnel are charged a lesser amount.
On the other hand, SIBM Bangalore charges around INR 19.1 Lakhs from Indian students of all categories. SIMS Pune has a larger alumni base and a greater industry connection. This is because SIMS Pune is very old in comparison to SIBM Bangalore.
In terms of ROI, SIMS Pune is better because of its lesser fee.
However, do consider these facts before arriving at the final decision-
- SIMS Pune has a 90% seat reservation for students of defense background. Because of this, general students have to score way higher in comparison to get a seat in SIMS. This affects peer learning and in an MBA, peer learning is what you do.
- Most coaching institutes such as Endeavor and TIME place SIBM Bangalore at a higher rank in the list of Tier-2 management colleges. This shows the reputation that SIBM Bangalore has created for itself in a short span.
- The placements at SIBM Bangalore are continuously increasing and have reached par with SIMS Pune. SIMS Pune is stagnant in terms of placements.
- The SIBM Bangalore tag has great value. Also, the location of SIBM B is a plus point, especially for those who wish to go for IT operations.
- Students from different backgrounds come together at SIBM Bangalore. There are ex-employees, freshers, and people from various educational backgrounds.
- SIBM Bangalore has a TEDx license, and Bloomberg terminals, all case studies are from Harvard business review, 12 clubs, and 12 committees, and there is an inclusion of courses on R, SPSS, tableau, and advanced Excel in the curriculum.
After considering all these points, I finally decided to go to SIBM Bangalore for my MBA.
