Which is better VIT or Tezpur University?
One of my cousins was in the same situation. He had very few options, mainly VIT, Tezpur University, and few NITs. He did some research and found that Tezpur University is considered the best central government institute. After talking to some students of the institute he also learned that the institute is great although the placement rate is not that good. It is a decent option if you want to pursue research.
His focus was placements. So, he chose VIT, Chennai and now he is a proud alumnus of the institute.
Here is a brief comparison of Tezpur University and VIT.
| Parameters | Tezpur University | VIT |
| Course fee | 2.11 lakhs | 7.83 lakhs |
| Average CTC | 3.5 LPA | 6.39 LPA |
| Highest CTC | 14 LPA | 44 LPA |
| Major recruiters | HDFC, ICICI, Axis Bank | HP, Infosys, Microsoft |
So, choose an institute based on what you want out of your degree.

Which is better for an MBA between Doon Business School and LPU?
I pursued my MBA from LPU, while my younger sister is doing her MBA from Doon Business School.
Out of my personal experience, here are a few disadvantages of doing an MBA from LPU-
- Faculty- At LPU, the MBA faculty significantly lacks experienced faculty members. Most of the teachers are freshers. And while being taught by a fresher teacher is alright, the lecturers are under extreme pressure. They find it difficult to cope up with such high pressure in their early stage of teaching.
- Fees- The MBA fees are quite high. For those who live far away, it is better to look for other options.
- Placement Packages- MBA graduates from LPU do not receive satisfactory packages. The offered packages are between 2-5 LPA.
Doon Business School offers a better ROI, and in fact, the climate of the place is comparatively pleasant in summers. For an MBA, DBS has a better brand reputation, experienced faculty and better curriculum. DBS does not offer just an MBA degree, it offers numerous other industry oriented courses too.
Thus, I would suggest you choose Doon Business School for an MBA.
Which institute should I join, IIIT Naya Raipur or NIT Raipur?
As a student of IIIT Naya Raipur, I will tell you about the facilities provided at my college-
- IIIT Naya Raipur is newly established which means it has a modern infrastructure. The labs and lecture halls are well-equipped with ACs. Electronics labs contain all the necessary hardware and software equipment. Data science labs are good as well. The library is two-floored and contains a wide range of books. The hostel rooms are well-made. Canteen and mess facilities are provided in the hostels.
- The entire campus, including the hostels, canteen area and ground, all are covered by a strong wifi network.
- The curriculum is well-designed and in close alignment with the syllabus of top IITs and IIITs.
- You’ll be studying your branch from the first year itself.
- The institution has special cells developed to make its students prepare for their PG studies.
- There is a provision for special scholarships for the students, based on their performance in semester exams.
- The students from this institution have won several coding, robotics and cultural competitions at various IITs and NITs.
I don’t know much about NIT Raipur, so I can’t compare the two. However, I would suggest you reach out to some seniors from NIT Raipur as well. This will help you establish a clear comparison between the two colleges.
As far as IIIT Naya Raipur is concerned, it is a good institution with modern infrastructure and all the facilities.
Is Career Launcher good for the IPM, IIM Indore entrance examination?
No, the Career Launcher is not a good option to prepare for IIM and it will be a total waste of time and money. Some of the people I know took this option and here’s what they had to say about it.
- The faculty of this course are very slow and they are not serious at their jobs.
- The weekend batch is not serious enough. The teachers are neither encouraging nor enthusiastic about the studies.
- The teachers were unable to complete the entire syllabus, as they often delayed the teaching process.
- This created a lot of problems for the students as without completing the syllabus they couldn't perform well in their exams.
- Although the teachers had increased their working hours after the students talked to them regarding their problem, it still couldn't make any difference.
- Also, the teaching style of the faculty members is very poor.
- The test series of this course is good, but it is of no use if you are unable to complete the syllabus.
It will be better to join some other offline coaching classes or go through some online courses and references for your preparation, as it will be more time and cost-efficient. Paying 42,000 for this career launcher program is a total waste as you will get nothing in return.
Hence, it will be better to not join the career launcher as it is completely not worth your time and money. Instead, join other coaching classes or self-study with the help of the internet.
Is it better to study an MBA in FMS Delhi or IIM Kozhikode ?
FMS Delhi is better for an MBA. The institute is ahead of IIM Kozhikode in terms of fees, placement, ROI, cutoff, and other aspects.
FMS Delhi fees are only INR 1.92 lakhs, while the average CTC for the institute is INR 32.4 LPA. So, the return on investment is pretty good. Around 100+ companies participate in the placement drive each year.

Can I get IIM Bangalore with 77.4 in 12th and 56.6 in graduation?
If you are a General Engineer Male, even with a perfect CAT score, getting into IIM Bangalore is nearly impossible. Your 12th-grade point average is low. Your UG grades are even worse. If you are not an engineer, you may have a chance with a high CAT percentile, but there is no guarantee.
IIMB looks for consistent and high academic performance throughout the 10th, 12th, and UG years.
Over the years, IIMB has discovered that students who perform well in the academic program typically have a consistently good academic record throughout their school, high school, and graduation levels, in addition to demonstrating sufficiently high aptitude as measured by the CAT (Common Admission Test of the IIMs)/GMAT. As a result, IIMB evaluates candidates' suitability for the PGP program using a variety of criteria, including academic performance in school, high school, and graduation programs, as well as CAT/GMAT scores.
How can I score well at LNCT (main campus in Bhopal) in the mid-semester and semester exams (I'm in the 1st year.)?
You must have 75% attendance to be eligible for mid-sem. It is not required to have this much attendance, but 75% is a relevant number that will help you over the course of time (Semester Exams). The boundary criterion for shortlisting students to appear for mid sem is 50% attendance. You will be unable to appear for mid-sem if your age is less than 50.
Technical books are recommended for semester exams. The majority of the books are available in the college library, but they are out of date. Purchase new books for significant topics such as ED, mechanics, and M-1. Studying books aids in the development of concepts and numerical approaches. Never place your full confidence in Shivani that is a guide to passing the exam.
Is the IPM program provided in IIM Bangalore?
No. At the moment, only IIM Indore and IIM Rohtak offer these courses, for which students must pass the IPMAT, which is administered separately by both IIMs. IIM Indore launched it in 2011, and IIM Rohtak launched it in 2019. However, due to its high potential and demand, all IIMs will soon launch this course.
There is a pre-doctoral program that generally takes about a year and allows students to study the core subjects in a doctoral program before deciding whether or not to pursue a Ph.D. and, if so, in what field.
