One of my close friends attends Thisgarajar College of Engineering, Madurai, and here is her insight into the Mechanical Engineering branch.

• Despite the college being government-aided, the faculty is stellar with really good experience. All of them either have a Ph.D. or are pursuing one.
• The department has also collaborated with TVS and the courses are now being restructured as per industry requirements. TVS starts monitoring students in the first year so that by the 4th year, they are ready to work there.
• The labs are also fully well equipped with instruments like UTM, injection molding machines, and CNCs.
• The alumni network is also quite strong. There are frequent get-togethers and meetings held at the department.
• The teachers are also well renowned nationally in their fields of work. You will also receive support for higher education from the college for pursuing MS, ME, Ph.D., MBA, etc.
• Despite the geographical drawbacks, the college has many top companies visiting for placements. But, due to the lack of mechanical industries around the college, securing an internship or work experience may prove to be difficult for you.
• The courses offered might be a little restricted. Due to this, it might prove a little hard for you to secure a specialization in a specific field.
• There are also only 120 students per batch of mechanical engineering admitted to the college. Because of this, it is quite tough to find like-minded people who share your interests and would like to work with you.

Thus, despite being a good college, every place has its pros and cons. In the end, it boils down to your interests and if the course curriculum fits your requirements.

Yes, WES will accept your MBA degree from ICFAI University and distance education but the process for this is very complicated.

One of my friends did his distance MBA from the institute and recently got his result. Here is what he had to say about the whole process.

WES accepted ICFAI University as a recognized university and the Tripura Distance Education program is considered equivalent to the 4 years bachelor's degree in Canada and you must be prepared to get ECA as a 4 years bachelor's degree in Canada if you have done your MBA from ICFAI University, Tripura through distance education mode. This will have a major change on your CRS scores if you have considered your education as a Master’s degree.

But keep in mind that this is only true for ICFAI University, Tripura, and not for other ICFAI universities.

One of my cousins completed her MBA from M.S Ramaiah only recently and can put his opinions in a better way. MSRIM is in fact situated close to the M.S Ramaiah Memorial Hospital, while RIMS at New Bel Road. Here is a detailed outlook of the overall MBA program of the institute as my cousin mentions,

Course Offerings:

Speaking in terms of education, MSRIT offers dual specialization in both Marketing in Human Resources and Marketing in Finance, out of which Marketing is the compulsory elective.

Placement Reports:

However, with regard to placements, it is not up to the mark since it is an autonomous institute. It is due to the fact that MSRIT is primarily known for B.Tech and the placement of it is usually top tier, unlike its MBA program. Here are the placement highlights of M.S Ramaiah (MSRIM) of recent years.

The infrastructure of the institute is good and you can avail a decent environment to pursue your studies. MSRIM mainly offers PGDM and MBA, the overall placements of which are as mentioned above. In fact, several students from various parts of the country visit and enroll through the management seats.

One of my friends studied in Gems B School. According to him, Gems B School offers a variety of courses that are designed to meet the requirements of today's industry.

• It has been ranked as 41st Best B-school in India and is one of the premier colleges for aspiring managers.
• Apart from Bangalore, it has campuses in Mysore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pondicherry, Srinagar, and Tirupati.
• The Bangalore campus is the largest, and it has a strategic affiliation with international universities as well as a business synergy that allows students to get an internationally recognized MBA degree.
• You will be trained to get accustomed to the work culture of India and abroad.

The table shows a brief overview of the institution:

Their classroom learning is enhanced by industry experiences, resulting in a competitive environment that prepares students to become future managers at some of the big corporate houses.

FMS BHU is a Central Government university, and they lack proper quality classrooms, ambiance, and all.

You can expect to get a proper MBA (rather than a PGDM, which is what most top-rated B schools offer) with an average package of 6 to 7 lakhs per annum by paying an overall fee of 1.6 lakhs for both two years (including hostel rent plus food equivalent).

Here are the recent placement statistics for the institute, in brief.

It is the cheapest when compared to other top-rated B schools where you spend around 16 lakhs plus interest on loans, and you get a package of 10 to 12 lakhs. Even if you earn well after getting placed, the majority of your salary will go to the repayment of the loan. Most of the banks want students to take loans so that they become their useful mode of income.
