5 years down the line which will benefit you better, SP Jain or JBIMS?
Both SP Jain and JBIMS are highly reputable, but objectively speaking, SPJIMR should be the preferred choice between the two. Its selection process is highly unique, based on profile and fit, and extremely thorough. The school thoroughly evaluates if a candidate matches its culture and academic standards. It is recommended to visit the SPJIMR campus for the interviews. The social integration through the DOCC and Project Abhudaya programs helps to produce well-rounded leaders. Placements at SPJIMR are also noteworthy, so be sure to review their placement reports.
In conclusion, if you do not have experience with A, B, C, L, FMS, and XL, then SPJIMR is the ideal campus for pursuing an MBA.
Which college is better for an MBA, RA Podar or Jaipuria, Jaipur?
I have a few friends at both the institutes, so I can give you some ideas about them.
- RA Podar is affiliated with Rajasthan University, so the curriculum of the courses offered by the college is not updated. On the other hand, the curriculum and syllabus followed by Jaipuria are industry-relevant.
- In RA Podar, you will not get any opportunity for practical exposure and skills. The students here are always struggling for their internships and can not even think about their final placements and recruitment procedures. In recent years, only 7-8 companies visited for campus recruitment and most of them were Insurance Companies.
- The top recruiters that visit the college almost every year are Delloite, KPMG, HDFC Bank. The average salary package offered to the student is around INR 4 Lakhs per Annum. Almost 60% of the students get selected by companies every year.
- In Jaipuria, more than 300 companies visit for campus recruitment, and 100% of the enrolled students get placed there.
According to NIRF rankings, Jaipuria stands among 75-100 bands in which only IIM Udaipur is there from Rajasthan. So overall, we can say that Jaipuria is way better than RA Podar.
How is Pondicherry University for an MCA and how are the placements?
One of my friends graduated from Pondicherry University. Here are some things you need to know about it before making a decision.
- Pondicherry University is good in terms of infrastructure and facilities.
- It's a central University and has a very good campus.
- The faculties are moderate.
- The placement scenario is not very good at Pondicherry University.
- Students here are mostly dependent on off-campus placements.
My friend got a good rank (read AIR-1) in 2014 but he ended up pursuing it in NIT Durgapur. So think wisely.
In general Pondicherry University is a good university. But not fit to meet the requirements of the industry. Better join some other university. In the long run, PU is not a good option. Placements are not up to the mark.
Which one should I choose between IIIT Allahabad IT and Jadavpur University CSE if I am interested in coding and research in computer science?
Both JU and IIIT-A have their own set of strengths and weaknesses. Here are a few strengths of each to help you determine which institution to finally opt for
- IIIT-A:
- IIIT-A is better than JU when it comes to coding. The students at IIIT-A are into coding all year round. Labs are open 24*7 and students are allocated a personal desktop with internet facilities for 4 years, 24*7 basis
- Core courses are introduced at IIIT-A in the first sem. This gives students extra time to prepare for GATE and placements
- Research facility at IIIT A is good enough. The professors are helpful and supportive towards the students who wish to engage in research work
- IIIT-A has a much better infrastructure than JU. It has world-class labs and all the facilities are top-notch
- The faculty at IIIT-A is very helpful and supportive
- In terms of placements, IIIT-A is the winner, with placements increasing exponentially each year
- Hostel facilities are excellent. It has a strong alumni base
- JU:
- JU provides the students with the freedom and the right mix of interdisciplinary research opportunities
- The faculty at JU is also very cooperative and supportive. The Research students are supported in every possible manner
- JU ranks at the 11th position in the NIRF India Rankings 2022: Engineering
- Being a public state university, the course fee at JU for a four-year B.E. CSE program is only 10,000 INR/year
Thus, both JU and IIIT-A are good options for you to consider.
B.E. CSE program at JU can be compared with B.Tech IT program at IIIT-A to reach the conclusion.
Which is better, ECE at IIT Madras or ECE at IIITH?
IIT Madras does not offer B.Tech ECE. Instead, it offers B.Tech in Electrical Engineering. The Electrical Engineering department is one of the oldest at IITM.
- Electrical Engineering at IIT Madras: Students in the Electrical Engineering department of IITM secure an admission to top universities like Stanford, UCB, Harvard, Georgia Tech, and The University of Michigan. The highest package offered to Electrical Engineering students of IITM during 2023 placements was INR 68.5 LPA, and the median package is INR 35.89 LPA.
- B.Tech ECE at IIIT H: ECE at IIIT Hyderabad revolves around signal processing. It also includes applied areas such as computer vision and speech, communications, VLSI/embedded systems, robotics, IoT, etc. The highest package offered to B.Tech ECE students of IIIT H was INR 45 LPA during the 2023 placements. The average package for the same year was INR 27.24 LPA for B.Tech ECE.
Both these institutions are highly reputed in the field of engineering, and they offer equally good academics and placements. But I would recommend you opt for Electrical Engineering at IIT Madras since it has a bigger brand name and a richer legacy. Moreover, Electrical students at IITM receive even better packages as compared to ECE students at IIIT Hyderabad.
What is the objective of admitting freshers in Ivy B-Schools like IIMs, FMS, JBIMS, SIMSREE, SPJIMR, XLRI, etc.??
MBA admission in Indian B Schools is a fairly weird process in comparison to that of foreign B Schools. In India, the admission process requires a candidate to have some work experience and in certain B-schools, it even carries a certain weightage. But during Final Placements, this scenario changes entirely as the recruiters prefer freshers over experienced candidates. The major reasons for this contrast are:
- The recruiters offering Marketing roles are on the lookout for candidates who can initially go through a sales job for a few years. They believe that the route to Marketing is through sales only. Now Sales requires a lot of traveling that too to rural areas. The recruiters know that these tough job conditions cannot be undertaken by Experienced professionals and thus prefer freshers who they can mold easily.
- The companies offering Finance roles know that the candidates with prior work experience won’t be working for the long hours they require them to. So they prefer freshers who can work long hours without complaining.
Recruiters are looking for candidates with work experience of not more than 11-12 months. Honestly, this strategy is illogical as a person with more work experience is bound to excel much better than a fresher, and restricting him from getting a job just because they cannot be exploited to the fullest extent is a bit cruel.
The scenario is pretty much the opposite in foreign countries that prefer MBA candidates with work experience only. This is because in India MBA is considered a way to become more employable or earn a fatter cheque. Whereas in the West, it is a means to upgrade your career and take it to new heights. The entire concept of MBA is at fault in India thereby this illogical strategy.
In my opinion, MBA candidates should have a work experience of at least 1 year, only then they can harness the MBA program to the fullest and not approach it just as a source of placements.
With a 48,919 rank in the JEE Mains, in which NIT college can I expect?
You can hardly get into NIT Arunachal Pradesh in biotechnology engineering, NIT Srinagar in Mechanical Engineering, or NIT Nagaland in Civil Engineering if you do not belong to the general category.
If these aren't your dream colleges then you must listen to my friend’s experience.
- He got around 48K ranking during his first attempt in the 2017 JEE Main.
- It was clear that he couldn't get into his dream college. He decided to drop a year and gave in maximum effort.
- He was nervous after the exam about his results and hoped that he didn't have to take another drop year.
- Finally, when the results were out it was ranked around 16K which was good enough to get into NIT Trichy.
It is suggested that a drop year could prove to be beneficial for you, as it helped my friend too. Study hard for a year and give your best shot. You will definitely score a better rank.
What should I know before I enter Lady Hardinge Medical College?
There should be nothing in particular that one needs to know to enter the Lady Hardinge college as the only thing one needs to carry is the confidence and the passion to learn and get involved in the new things.
- Always remember that anything in excess is bad and one must always keep a balance of everything.
- No dress code is followed in the college.
- No kind of ragging takes place but still one should have good relations maintained with the students of the particular batch and one year senior to avoid any future problems.
- The campus is not that big but is under construction and is beautiful and admirable.
- There is no café or library available on the campus but it is present near the hostel and is a good place.
Therefore, a student should keep these things in mind before going to Lady Hardinge College to live a hassle-free college life.
My friend has got 77K AIR in JEE Main. He wanted to know if he should go for GNDU Amritsar or GNE Ludhiana?
You are considering pursuing either mechanical engineering or electrical engineering. We highly recommend you consider GNE Ludhiana. The Amritsar Campus of GNDU only offers three B.Tech streams: Computer Science, Electronics and Communication, and Urban Planning. However, the mechanical and civil engineering streams are available at the regional campus of Sathiala and were established in the 2014 batch.
The faculty for Computer Science and Electronics at GNDU is exceptional. However, it is important for you to research placement statistics and other relevant information before making a final decision.
If your rank is 77k, there may be a slight chance for you to get into mechanical engineering at GNE. However, there is an option for you to change streams after one year if there are any vacant seats in your preferred department.
