What should I choose between Sydenham PGDBM and K J Somaiya MMS?
Having known some students of both these colleges, I can say that both the colleges are really good in terms of infrastructure, culture, and faculties. There are of course some differences too and for that let me share with you a few details.
- K J Somaiya has better infrastructure and the campus is located at the heart of the city. SIMSREE doesn't have such a big infrastructure.
- SIMSREE has a better ROI than K J Somaiya.
- Placement usually depends on your profile and how you perform in your management education & certainly performance in interviews.
- Professors, peers both are good in both colleges.
- At SIMSREE, the finance course is much better as there are several guest lecturers visiting from JBIMS.
- Both SIMSREE and K J Somaiya’s program in MMS is Mumbai University affiliated. Its degree is acceptable for several government jobs as well.
| Categories | MMS at SIMSREE | MMS at K J Somaiya |
| Course Fee | 1.36 lakh | 3.24 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 20 LPA | - |
| Average CTC | 12 LPA | 8-9 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | American Express, Barclays, ITC, KPMG, etc. | Amazon, HUL, Deutsche Bank, Wipro, etc. |
It must be noted that PGDBM is not offered at SIMSREE rather the institute also offers MMS in affiliation with Mumbai University.
Also, while choosing between MMS at Sydenham and K J Somaiya, it is suggested that you talk to alumni of both colleges, which would definitely give you a clear idea.
Which college would be better for Finance, IMT Ghaziabad or NMIMS?
If you are aiming for a finance profile, then you should go for NMIMS Mumbai any day without a doubt. There are various reasons for the same. Some of which are as follows.
- Batch Size - NMIMS Mumbai has a smaller batch size than IMT Ghaziabad. A smaller batch size always helps especially during placements.
- Location - Mumbai is the financial capital of India and thus many companies have their offices here. So it will be easy for you to get internships and other industry relationships.
- Placements - The final placements are of much better quality and the profiles offered are also quite good. The average CTC offered at the institute is around 17 LPA.
- Faculty - The finance professors are also quite good here.
So I think that NMIMS Mumbai will be the college you should choose if you are interested in finance.
Among PGDM-FS from K J Somaiya, GIM PGDM, and SIIB, what should I choose?
For a PGDM FS, KJ Somaiya is the best option among these. The institute has a locational advantage since it is situated at the financial hub of the country, i.e. Mumbai. KJ Somaiya placements are great. According to the 2022 interim placement report, the average CTC offered to the students was INR 10.25 LPA, while the highest CTC offered was INR 26.50 LPA.
Between GIM and SIIB, the letter offers better industrial relations and better job roles in campus placements.
Which would be a better choice, instrumentation in BITS Goa campus or instrumentation at NIT Trichy?
There is nothing called instrumentation engineering. The students usually study the syllabus of the electronic branch that includes learning low-level languages along with the complete command of them.
- There is a very high demand for highly skilled engineers who know the top programming languages like TopCoder, GitHub, and many more.
- Learning these languages totally depends upon the person that they can do without going to college.
- Becoming an electronics engineer totally depends upon the person, and their effort, not the college.
- Some of the students follow the GATE syllabus to enter into the government sectors.
- Some get recruitment in top private companies by learning these programming languages. The college can help you out only by giving a proper study environment that can promote your overall development.
If you wish to join the private sector, then only the placement facility provided by the college is useful to you.
| Categories | Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering at BITS Goa | Instrumentation and Control Engineering at NIT Trichy |
| Course Fee | 19.19 lakh | 5.65 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 24 LPA | 22 LPA |
| Average CTC | 12 LPA | 10-11 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, Western Digital, JP Morgan, etc. | TCS, Infosys, Reliance, Morgan Stanley, etc. |
Last but not least we can say that the college for the instrumentation branch is the version of the electronics branch of engineering. It totally depends on you how much effort you are putting into the same and not depend on the college.
Which is better, SRM or Manipal University?
Among SRM and Manipal University, the latter will be a better option. Manipal has a better peer group. The student-teacher ratio is good. Manipal offers excellent opportunities for personal and overall development. Manipal has a strong alumni network owing to its more than 60 years of existence.
Manipal University Jaipur placements are pretty good. For 2022 placement, the average CTC was around INR 7 LPA.
Manipal has a great research environment. There are also many clubs and societies that you can join.
Which is better for a B.tech in EEE: LNCT Bhopal or BIT, Bhilai?
I have lived in Bhopal for the past decade, so I know a little bit about LNCT. It is basically a tier-3 engineering college.
- It is regarded as the top engineering college in Bhopal, behind MANIT (NIT Bhopal) and possibly RGPV. It is ranked among the top 10 colleges in MP, not only in Bhopal.
- This college has an outstanding placement record, with nearly 100% placements (or so they say). According to the 2020 placement highlights the highest CTC offered at the institute was 27 LPA.
- Bhopal is a fantastic place to live. Life here is immensely enjoyable because of the clean atmosphere, kind people, and excellent infrastructure.
- From an academic aspect, there are numerous coaching institutes that cater to the needs of students preparing for competitive exams such as GATE, UPSC, GRE, CAT, and a variety of others.
These are the reasons why you should choose LNCT over BIT Bhilai.
Got admits from IIMA PGPX, IIM Bangalore EPGP, and IIM Calcutta PGPEX. Which one should I go for (I'm really confused about the placements, no clarity whatsoever)?
My friend is a PGPEX alumnus and claims that the program helped him double the salary he receives from his regular MBA. The ‘X’ in the program often is a source of hesitation for many prospective students ao it’s better the programs get the hype they deserve.
As far as choosing between IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Bangalore is concerned, I would recommend you go for the latter. IIM Bangalore has a better placement scenario and also has common classes across the institute in elective terms giving you a wider peer network. IIM Ahmedabad on the other hand has a bit of a location disadvantage and the exposure offered is nothing compared to Bangalore.
Here is a comparative analysis of the placement scenario of the 3 programs namely. IIM Ahmedabad PGPX. IIM Bangalore EPGP and IIM Calcutta MBAx

Which is better for a Ph.D in machine learning, ISI Kolkata or IISc Bangalore?
When choosing between a computer science or statistics perspective for ML, it's important to consider your goals. Statisticians have high standards for theoretical guarantees and usually publish in journals. It may take 5-6 years after initial conception for a method to be accepted and used. On the other hand, computer science and ML move quickly with conferences as the primary venues. Methods and code quickly spread, and people start using them.
In general, computer science is considered a better choice for ML than statistics departments. If you're considering the ISI Machine Intelligence Unit, note that it's mostly made up of statisticians who research fuzzy logic and publish in stats or application-specific journals. Their papers don't usually appear in flagship ML venues like NIPS, ICML, or KDD.
When deciding between a CS or statistics Ph.D., also consider your employment options after graduation. The majority of people in top Indian labs like MSR, Google, and XRCI are CS PhDs, if not 100%. Statistics PhDs, on the other hand, typically work in actuarial firms or investment banks, which have different work objectives.
Is OP Jindal a good college for an MA in public policy? How does it compare with NLSIU in Bangalore?
O P Jindal Global University offers a well-designed MA in Public Policy. The faculties have good experience in teaching and research. If your goal is to work in corporate jobs, research institutions, think tanks, etc. the institute can give you decent exposure. They have extensive industry reach and a large alumni network.
NLSIU Bangalore is among the top-most law schools in the country and offers excellent academics in Law. If you want to have an academic-oriented career in Public Policy, then you should prefer NLSIU over O P Jindal.
