Which MBA is better for operations: XIMB or NMIMS?

RD
Rittim Das Posted On : March 13th, 2023
Studied at Symbiosis Centre for Management and Human Resource Development (2017)

If I was in your place, I would have gone for NMIMS. Operation profiles are usually offered in these 3 industries.

  • FMCG
  • E-commerce
  • Consulting

Comparing these industries, you will find NMIMS as the best option. There are many big companies from these industries that visit NMIMS like 

  1. FMCG: ITC , Dabur, HUL, Marico, Asian Paints, Pidilite, Kelloggs, Loreal, HCCB, Britannia, Perfetti.
  2. Most of these companies do not visit XIMB and even if they do the roles offered are average.
  3. E-Commerce: Flipkart, Amazon, Shopclues, Girnarsoft(Car Dekho), Bluestone. None of these visited XIMB.
  4. Finance: Goldman Sachs, Nomura, JP Morgan, ICICI Bank
  5. IT: Microsoft, Google, SAP, Cisco, National Instruments
  6. Conglomerates: GE, Mahindra, etc.

All in all, the top recruiters combined with locational advantage, industry relations, and broad career prospects make NMIMS the better option of the two.

Is an AKTU degree worth it?

RV
Ronak Verma Posted On : November 9th, 2022
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering from Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (2017)

The AKTU degree holds a lot of value. But in this era of neck-to-neck competition and an abundance of degree holders, its value has decreased.

To add worth to your degree, you can add skill certificates in any language like C, Java, or Python. You can also add certification in various skills like

  • Web Development

  • Web Design

  • IOT

  • Networking

  • Artificial intelligence 

  • Machine learning

However, collecting too many skills might devalue your CV. Try to learn one or two skills and master those skills only. This will help you add value to your degree and get you the desired job.

What cutoff (CPI) does Goldman Sachs keep for ECE students in internships at MNNIT Allahabad?

SB
Sourav Bera Posted On : April 24th, 2021
MNNIT Allahabad

My cousin belongs to the 2020 batch of B.tech at MNNIT Allahabad. Goldman Sachs visited the campus for an internship for their batch. The general selection criteria for this internship are:

  • You must belong to either of these branches: BTech All, MCA, MSc
  • You must have a CPI of 5 or above

If you are preparing for getting selected at Goldman Sachs, just focus on your problem-solving and coding skills. Also in their technical round, you will be asked Quant questions that are very hard if you lack practice in that. Yes, Quant questions are the type of questions that are asked in CAT exams.

However, it is quite common to see students with a CPI of 8 or higher being selected most. This is the harsh truth, thus you might see your name in the first shortlist but not in the second list as your CPI is lower. Hence, work hard enough to get a CPI of 8 or higher and emphasize more and more on your coding skills as the coding exam for Goldman is very tough.

Is SVNIT not good as it used to be before?

AA
Aarti Ahuja Posted On : January 6th, 2024
Lives in Ahmedabad

The reputation of SVNIT has comparatively declined over the years. 

The same is evident from these facts-

  1. The NIRF rankings of SVNIT have seen a sharp decline over the years. From the 16th rank in 2016, SVNIT has dropped down to 65th rank in 2023 from among top Engineering Colleges in India.
  2. In recent years, a case of corruption in the bus tendering system in SVNIT came to light. A Professor from the Civil department was suspended in this matter.
  3. There were also talks of a Promotion Scam, i.e. instead of deserving Professors, other undeserving ones with strong connections were given promotions. The Professors went on a two day strike because of this scam.

Though plenty of improvements have been made in the college infrastructure, I tried to shed light on some of the unfortunate incidents from the past. 

There are plenty other reasons for the declining state of SVNIT, and the administration should take appropriate actions to re-establish the reputation of this institution.

Which is a better option IT at IIEST Shibpur or CSE at IEM??

DC
Dipayan Chaterjee Posted On : September 14th, 2020
B.Tech Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Institute of Engineering and Management (2021)

Being a central university and highly popular national university of importance, IIEST Shibpur not only attracts the best faculty from across the country but also receives funding from the central government on a yearly basis which helps the university maintain its infrastructure, upgrade to the latest trends in the world and better their services. IEM is a private university with a NIRF ranking of 191 in 2020.

  • Placement Services: Considering placements are the most important deciding factor to understand the scope of an institution, let us have a look at the placement facilities across the two academic universities:

Particulars

IIEST Shibpur

IEM Kolkata

Number of Companies

90+

50+

Average CTC offered

6.5 LPA

5 LPA

Highest CTC offered

39.12 LPA

10 LPA

Placement Rate

88%

75%

  • Crowd: IIEST attracts students from all across the country due to its national importance and is the second oldest engineering college in India. IEM on the other hand being a private university does not see diversity among students and is not very popular as compared to IIEST.
  • Campus: The infrastructure of both colleges are very different from each other. IIEST is known for its beautiful huge academic buildings, library, sports complex, and research labs. IEM, on the other hand, has a relatively small campus that offers hostel facilities, a cafeteria, a library, and an auditorium.
  • Alumni: The alumni network at IIEST is unbeatable with world leaders like Dr. Bimal Bose, Leader in Power Electronics, and Dr. Kajal Gupta, Chief Technologist at NASA. IEM does not have a notable list of alumni considering it is not very popular amongst the masses.

Hence, if students have a good JEE score and are eligible to get into IIEST, it would be advisable to do so instead of choosing a private institution such as IEM- based on the factors mentioned above.

What are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at MLSU?

AP
Akhil Panigrahi Posted On : October 14th, 2021
Studies B.A L.L.B from MohanLal Sukhadia University, 2022

The first thing you should keep an eye on is the attendance policy an institute follows. There has been an overwhelming rate of students who were not permitted to take their final semester examination only due to the low attendance they had.

  • You should be well acquainted with whether or not the library at the institute is well established. 
  • It is best to study on your own scale, despite having access to an exceptional faculty. 
  • You should also keep a healthy relationship with your teachers, for as long as you are in the institute. You can choose to seek their guidance if you opt publishing research papers. 
  • On the contrary, the percentage of which acutely decreases if you fail in keeping a healthy relationship with your teachers. 
  • It is always a good idea to write and publish papers, at least a few out of many, despite the stream you belong from. This can positively contribute to your career life.
  • If you belong from the stream of law, you must do at least one national moot of more than just an average level. Do not limit yourself to the university moot by any means. 
  • You can also choose to participate in MUN, regardless of the institute you are in.

You should also consider reading more than usual to help enhance your skills of communication, alongside current affairs.

Here are a few hangout places outside of the SVNIT campus, other than malls-

  • The Fish Aquarium at Pal Hazira Road- The aquarium has a large variety of fascinating aquatic life. It is set up like the inside of a real ship, so its architecture is really unique. One of the many attractions is the fishes that have a Neon coloured glow.

PK
Poulami Kar Posted On : February 19th, 2021
Studied in BIET Jhansi (2019)

As you have come up with this doubt, I assume that you have got a good rank in UPSEE. So, congratulations on securing a good rank in UPSEE that gave you the opportunity to choose from such elite institutions.

Unless and until it is an IIT, core branches are always a better choice than non-core branches.

Forget about non-core branches in UP government colleges, there is not much facilities and exposure. So, if you are getting a chance, it is highly recommended to go for CSE in BIET or KNIT because in CSE or IT, you just need a laptop and good internet connectivity and these colleges provide WIFI facility. You will have to indulge yourself in regular practice to bring the best out of yourself, as everything is available on the internet.

CSE would be a better choice if you look forward to getting placed after your graduation. If you want to pursue higher studies then, non-core branches at IET Lucknow will give you a better exposure such as coaching institutes, because of its location.
