How are IIM A students different from students of, say, SP Jain, NMIMS, FMS or JB?
The peer pool of IIM Ahmedabad varies from that of other B-schools like SP Jain, FMS, and NMIMS because of the admission criteria and quality of intake. The majority of the IIM Ahmedabad batch comprises performing students with CAT percentile almost touching 100 percentile. and most of them got close to the 100 percentile in CAT and they get opportunities to study business studies in IIM A, B, and C. Very few students get into IIMs through the process of diversification only if they scored more than 80 percent grade in Xth, XII th and Graduate Examinations. The other B schools like SP Jain, FMS, NMIMS, or JB don’t have such strict criteria and the peer pool comprises students from diverse academic profiles rather than just top CAT rankers.
This is the major point of difference between the two kinds of B Schools. As a result of this, IIM Ahmedabad students are offered better placement opportunities at the global level than these average B-schools.

While the quality of professors and curriculum may be subjective, the proximity of IIT Madras to these companies is not.
If you choose to study at IIT Madras, you can expect to be challenged to excel in your studies, as the program is demanding. However, this challenging curriculum is accompanied by excellent professors who can guide you through the course material. Additionally, IIT Madras has a beautiful campus that can enhance your overall experience as a student.

How is IIT Ropar?
I am a student at IIT Ropar and thus I am qualified to answer this question-
- Location- Ropar is just an hour’s drive from Chandigarh. It is well-connected to major cities like Jalandhar, Shimla, Delhi, and Chandigarh. The Tricity area is
quite developed and Mohali has its international airport. Ropar itself is a very calm and peaceful city. The campus is located at the foothills of Shivalik on the banks of the Sutlej River.
- Academics- The academics at IIT Ropar is at par with the old IITs, but it has been designed by experts to lay greater emphasis on practical learning and labs than the old IITs. One of the major highlights of the IIT Ropar curriculum is the provision of allowing Minors, Honors or Concentration alongside the main B.Tech degree. This provision is not present in the old IITs. An example is that you can do a B.Tech in Mechanical with a Minor in CS.
- Faculty- The faculty at IIT Ropar is well qualified and the selection procedure is at par with the old IITs. The professors are alums of IITs and other institutions in the US. The teacher-student ratio is 1:10, which is quite good. IIT Ropar organizes workshops, guest lectures by experienced professors from prestigious institutions.
In terms of research citations, IIT Ropar ranks higher than most IITs, including the old ones.
- Placements- For 2023 B.Tech placements, the highest package stood at INR 55 LPA for CSE, 55 LPA for Electrical, and 42 LPA for Mechanical. Core companies visit less for placements in comparison to non core companies. Google, Amazon and Ericsson were the top recruiters for the 2023 B.Tech placements.
- Campus and Student Life- IIT Ropar now has its own permanent campus with state-of-the-art infrastructure. The Lecture Halls, Hostels (both boys and girls), Dining Hall, Utility Block, and Sports fields are all newly built. The campus is beautiful and spread across 500 acres. Student life is eventful and there are numerous clubs and societies through which you can enhance your personality.
I chose IIT Ropar Electrical branch over mediocre branches at old IITs and CSE at newer ones. I am quite happy with my decision and do not regret it in the least.
How is XIME Bangalore?
XIME Bangalore gets criticized by a lot of students because of multiple reasons. According to my friend, the main reasons for the same are-
- The institution does not give due consideration to improving its overall placement record.
- The location of all three XIME campuses is unfavorable for good student life. They are located on the outskirts where it is quite difficult to access some form of entertainment during weekends.
- The mess food is below average, especially that in the girl’s hostel. There are common washrooms that are not cleaned regularly. The hostel rooms are small with each room shared by 3 people.
- Students mostly end up going for marketing jobs in the end.
- There is a lack of playgrounds and extracurricular activities.
Thus, XIME Bangalore has some issues that need to be resolved and the institution should not be your first priority.
Which is better, BITS Pilani (Pilani campus) or IIT Ropar?
BITS Pilani has been in existence much before IIT Ropar and while it is just growing, BITS Pilani would be a better choice.
It’s not only the Institutes with the IIT tag that have contributed to the successful future of engineering and promoting it, but the institutes other than IITs such as BITS Pilani, IIEST, and Jadavpur University have played a significant role.
| Categories | BITS Pilani (Pilani Campus) | IIT Ropar |
| Course Fee | 19.19 lakh | 8.58 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 24 LPA | 18-20 LPA |
| Average CTC | 15 LPA | 8-9 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Wipro, TCS, Accenture, Dell, etc. | HP, Tata Steel, Deloitte, Capgemini, etc. |
The education they furnish is the same as that of any IITs. Therefore, BITS can be taken into consideration.
How good is NIMS University?
Other than some of the medical courses, the other programs offered by NIMS University Jaipur aren’t good. The quality of education isn’t good. Proper lectures aren’t scheduled regularly. The faculties usually focus on completing the syllabus fast. The teaching approach is outdated. There is less focus on practicals.
When do we get original degree from Delhi university?
Delhi University is a highly prestigious institute offering premium education to its students. Every student completing his or her studies from here is awarded a degree certificate. This certificate is issued by the university and is an official recognition of the student’s educational qualification.
However, it's crucial that a student procures his/her original degree certificate from the university as it plays a big role in the admission process of higher studies as well as jobs and other opportunities.
The availability of this degree depends on the course and the duration of the course.UG students usually receive their original degree certificate within 3 months of the completion of the course.
You can check the same by going to SOL and ask someone from their administration department. Sometimes it may take a year or more to get the original degree from Delhi University.
