What are the immediate changes you wish for in VNIT Nagpur?
VNIT Nagpur is my alma mater, and I deeply respect my college.
However, here is something about VNIT that needs immediate improvement-
The college authorities follow curfew timings for girls’ hostels, without taking any consent from parents or students. This is a form of gender bias, and I am strictly against it. In-time prevents female students from accessing the reading room and labs after a certain time of the day. Instead of restricting the movement of female students, the campus should be made safer for women.
I sincerely hope that the college authorities make positive changes in this direction.

- IIT has fees of 8 Lakhs compared to fees of 21 Lakhs for XIMB.
- IIT Roorkee is ranked 18th in the NIRF ranking while XIMB is ranked 46th.
- IIT Roorkee has an Average Package of 18.34 LPA while XIMB is at 19.53 LPA.
- MBA started at IIT Roorkee in 1998 while XIMB was established in 1987.
- IIT Roorkee has better infrastructure and a bigger campus of 358.5 acres.
Is IMS Noida good for a BBA program?
Since your investment in terms of money, time, and effort is significant, it would be advisable to consider alternatives like IP University or Delhi University for pursuing a BBA program. Alternatively, if you come from a commerce background and wish to pursue a career in management, B.Com (Hons) is also a good option to consider.
IMS Noida has a placement record of around 50% for its BBA program, with companies like Wipro and Air India being the major recruiters. However, the roles offered are generally limited to Managers, HR, Sales Executives, and so on.

How good is Msc Finance at Anil Surendra Modi School of Commerce, NMIMS?
Anil Surendra Modi School of Commerce at NMIMS Mumbai started offering an M.Sc in Finance quite recently. Here are some of the things that you should know about the course.
- The course structure is very good and is at par with JBIMS as well.
- The college does not have its own hostels. So campus life is virtually zero. But that’s the kind of norm at Mumbai colleges.
- Faculty will always be a mixed bag at any school/college. While some may be excellent some may not be so good.
- The course fee is around INR 3 lakhs per year which is not cheap by any standard.
- It has an intake of only 30 students which has its own advantages and disadvantages.
The placement data are not shared by the institute. So do not expect a salary in the league of the MBAs. Also do not compare it with other top commerce colleges such as DSE.
How was your IIM Ahmedabad interview experience for the batch 2021-23?
A friend of mine attended the interview for the 2021 batch of IIM Ahmedabad. Here is his experience in brief.
- Academic range so far- 98.72% in 10th, 97.83% in 12th and 85% in Graduation
- CAT score: 99.71
- Work experience: 37 months of working under the company- Qualcomm
The interview took place in a video conferencing room. There were two panelists. It lasted for 20 minutes and to my friend’s surprise, it was more of a conversation rather than an interview. He was mostly asked about his job, his published paper, hobbies, and why MBA.
Here are some of the questions from his interview.
- Tell me about your job at Qualcomm. What were the skills that you needed?
- Is your paper more research based on some sort of survey?
- You are good at what you do, so why do you want to pursue an MBA?
- What are your hobbies?
They also asked some current affairs questions. Overall, it was a good experience for my friend and he was able to convert.
How can I get a visit into the IIM Bangalore campus?
If you need to visit IIMB for a tour, it is best if you know a current student there or if you can connect with a faculty member on campus and discuss a common subject.
You should also avoid visiting during festivals because you will most likely be barred from all but the common areas and will be unable to find anyone who can tell you anything about the location.
When visiting any secured perimeter, it is more important to appear sincere, and presentable, and not faff around on your intentions or in general. Be open and honest about your intentions. The only issue is that there are too many people talking about being prospective students, and no one wants to take a security risk.

How are M.Tech boys hostels at MANIT Bhopal?
Here is some information regarding the boys hostel for M.Tech students at MANIT-
From 2018 batch onwards, M.Tech boys are allotted rooms in the P.G. Hostel 11 (Appu Bhawan). This building is newly constructed, and contains single seater rooms. Each room has an attached balcony.
It is a logical decision to provide single seater rooms for M.Tech students, as one needs privacy at such a high level.
