Everyone in the construction industry is familiar with NICMAR, but GICMAR is less known. GICMAR, on the other hand, is AICTE-approved. (Diploma of Post-Graduation), Whereas, NICMAR (CISR accredited) offers postgraduate programs in a variety of disciplines.

NICMAR charges a lot for a management degree. The total course fee is around 12 LPA. It is really expensive. If you can afford it, then it is no problem.

For East or west industrial exposure, NICMAR is the best. In the recent placement drive, the average CTC offered at the institute was 6 LPA. 

I will suggest you do your own research and choose an institute that is best suited for you.

One of my friends is a student of XLRI and her interview experience was quite strange. When she looks back at the experience it seems quite funny. Here are a few snippets of her experience. 

• First, she was asked to explain the differences between Shakespearean Tragedy and Sophoclean Tragedy. This question is actually quite great for checking how deeply you can analyze dramatic narratives. But the fact that it was the very first question makes it funny. 
• There was a follow-up question to the previous one. The question was, ‘How do you relate Shakespearean tragedy to human resources?’ and she was asked to state it with appropriate examples.
• One of the interviewers was from Civil Engineering and asked questions like, ‘What is the most reactive metal?’ (Ans- Sodium) and ‘What is the atomic number of Sodium?’ These questions were strange for my friend as she is a humanities student.

Based on many incidents that I heard from my friends over the year, it seems that most interviews of B-schools are of non-standardized nature. In most cases, the type of questions they ask depends on what presumptions they make about the candidate, and some depending upon their bias on a particular topic. However, it is a matter of discussion. Here is an interesting anecdote, I know a few people who have failed in XLRI PI round but have successfully cracked IIMs PI.

Acharya Institute of Technology provides good placements within the ECE department. Mostly the IT companies visit very often and recruit ECE students only. Around 90 - 95% of the eligible students get placed. And many students get off-campus placements too.

Placement Stats - ECE (2021):

Students have a relatively higher chance of getting placed if their aggregate score is maintained above 60% and they have good knowledge and communication skills. Since multiple companies visit the college during recruitment drives, all students have to do is appear for these campus interviews and perform exceedingly well by giving it their best shot.

The institute observes a good blend of ECE core companies as well as IT companies, for students who may be interested in getting into the software sector.

Apart from this, your skills, individual performance in interviews, and overall CGPA will determine the results of your placements at Acharya Institute of Technology within the ECE branch.

This course is relatively new and not many students have opted for it as of now. Cryptology Department at ISI is, nevertheless, extremely renowned in the academic circle and industry. A lot of students take their Ph.D. from here and the research is of remarkable quality.

To prepare, you may download the previous year’s question papers of M.Tech Computer Science. The idea is to know the type of questions asked, it'll be similar to the questions asked in the Cryptology paper. As for Math, focus on the MMA portion to understand TOMATO and solve all of it.

Perform well in the interview process or if you have good marks in the written exam that will help you too during the interview. If your scores are low, then get ready to face tougher questions and probably many. The interviewer will test your foundation skills. The trivial will take precedence. 

Even if your answer is incorrect just be confident and say it out clearly, they will help you with the final answer themselves.
