Are there single seated rooms in hostels of MNIT Jaipur?

Sk
Shubhangi kailas Posted On : October 10th, 2023
MNIT Jaipur

As a resident of Gargi at MNIT Jaipur, I will shed some light on my hostel-

  • Gargi Hostel does have single rooms, but you’ll get one only after your first year.
  • All the freshers’ are allotted either A block or B block. 
  • A block has three/four seater rooms, and B block has two-seater rooms. 
  • Rooms are allotted in the order of fee deposition/ college enrollment. Those who enroll early get block A, while late ones get block B.

Your rooms will change every year. The girls’ hostels are clean, but you’ll have to compromise with the poor quality mess food. 

This is all the information about Gargi girls’ hostel of MNIT Jaipur.

Is it worth leaving a Master's in Public Policy at NLSIU to pursue an MA in Development and Labour Studies at JNU?

PB
Pratik Bahera Posted On : April 6th, 2023
Master's program from Jawaharlal Nehru University (2021)

 If you have been contemplating leaving your Master’s in Public Policy program at NLSIU Bangalore to pursue an MA in Development and Labour Studies at JNU, it is not worth it. Here's why:

  • Pursuing a Master’s in Public Policy from a reputed institute like NLSIU Bangalore opens doors to promising and lucrative career opportunities. In comparison, job prospects in Development and Labour Studies are relatively meager.
  • A Master’s in Public Policy program helps you develop a wholesome understanding and a holistic idea of Policy Making. It also allows you to understand the broader spectrum of key issues related to policy-making. In contrast, the MA program in Development and Labour Studies at JNU may not provide a 360º approach towards understanding public issues or cultivate a knack for Policy Making, as this course is primarily focused on issues related to Labour and Trade Unions.
  • There are several reputed Think Tanks in India that offer lucrative and respectful career opportunities to Public Policy Graduates. Some of them are - the Centre for Policy Research, NITI Aayog, Observer Research Foundation, Research Foundation for Governance in India, Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies, India Policy Foundation, Indian Institute for Advanced Studies, and so on.

In conclusion, if you are already selected for pursuing a Master’s in Public Policy at NLSIU Bangalore, it is not worth leaving it to pursue an MA in Development and Labour Studies at JNU. Pursuing Public Policy at a reputed institute like NLSIU Bangalore will open doors to lucrative career opportunities and help you develop a wholesome understanding and a holistic idea of Policy Making.

Is IBS Pune good to pursue MBA/PGPM?

PS
Prasangna Sharma Posted On : February 17th, 2021
Faculty member IBS Pune

You should go for better alternatives if you have the options. The other campuses of IBS, i.e. Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Gurgaon are definitely better than the Pune campus. Hyderabad is the best among all the campuses of IBS. So, you can wait for the next list of IBS results and see if you can get a better campus. 

PGPM: 

If you have alternatives, it will be wise not to choose PGPM. Since it is a certificate course and not a degree. But there are provisions for getting a PGPM degree equivalent to MBA from the duly accredited campus. You should do a cross-check for it. 

Factors to consider for the PGPM (Post Graduate Programme in Management) program offered by IBS Pune.

Average CTC

6.73 LPA

Highest CTC

50.23 LPA

Top Recruiters 

Google, Amul, Zomato, Wipro, Oracle, Vedanta, TNS, Colgate, DLF, Deloitte, etc.

Student Intake 

447

Admission 

CAT/IBSAT/GMAT/NMAT

Course Fee

INR 8.01 lakhs


So, if you have the opportunity, you should wait for a better campus or consider different colleges that can offer either PGDM or an MBA degree with greater ROI, infrastructure, and better placement.

Why is the cutoff rank of the IIIT Allahabad IT branch so low (4550 as of 2017) when it is comparable to CS in other NITs and some IITs?

AR
Anupama Rawat Posted On : March 9th, 2021
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (2021)

My younger sister has enrolled in the CSE program at NIT and it has excellent facilities for the program. The brand name of NIT and IIT is still more popular for some of the engineering aspirants because they lack awareness. Even my sister thought so before admissions, but NIT ranks #16 on the NIRF Engineering scale, IIIT A ranks #103, and IITs are usually in the top 5 in the same. 

Furthermore, your decision may change based on the following-

  • The location of IIIT Allahabad is a factor contributing to its low popularity. It is located in a small village area called Jhalwa. There are no recreational facilities around and the only eating outlets are MacDonald's and Dominoes, which harm in the long run.
  • The placement statistics of IIIT A show that it has a good 96% placement rate, but not many top companies come to visit because of the location. Networking is not an issue, but an institute in a developed area would have easy accessibility, lectures by renowned faculty, spots of refreshment; which are not present here.
  • The hostels are not very good and those who reside in them, face difficulties related to social outings.
  • Another fact of importance is that this institute has only two departments: Information Technology and Electronics and Communication.

You can see below, the comparatives of the institutes:

Parameters

NITs 

IIIT Allahabad

Top Recruiters

Microsoft, Samsung, Amazon, Google, TATA

Amazon, Mellon, Goldman Sachs, BNY 

Adobe, Aakash, Accenture, American Express etc

As you may see, IIIT A and NITs have excellent placement rates. The faculty will be more brilliant at IITs but students are dissatisfied even there. So you can see for yourself according to location, placement scenario, and brand name if that matters.
