How do students at IIM Bangalore, IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta choose their elective courses? Is there any system?

SK
Saloni Kaushik Posted On : September 16th, 2022
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Silchar (2017)

For elective course selection, IIMs usually have a course bidding system. Every student receives 1000 points and has to choose 6 courses. The institutes organize a bidding day. At the scheduled time, everyone needs to login into the system and starts bidding. Each course takes a maximum of around 75 students. On average 200-300 students bid on popular courses such as Finance, Marketing, Strategy, etc. It isn’t wise to use all the bid points on one/two courses. As there are many options to choose from, students usually get a course of their preference.

Which one is better, DAV University Jalandhar or DAVIET Jalandhar?

PK
Priyank Kasture Posted On : March 28th, 2023
Studied at DAVIET Jalandhar

 If you are considering pursuing higher education in engineering, it's important to choose a college with experienced and highly qualified faculty. When it comes to DAVIET and DAVU, here are some things to consider:

  • DAVIET, or the DAV Institute of Engineering and Technology, is a well-established engineering college located in Jalandhar, Punjab. DAV University is a newer university that also offers engineering programs.
  • One advantage of DAVIET over DAV University is that it has more experienced and better faculty. DAVIET's faculty members have years of teaching and research experience, and many of them have published research papers in reputed journals.
  • On the other hand, the faculty at DAVU may not be highly qualified. Most of them have completed their M.Tech without decent research publications and are not capable of guiding students in research. This may not be the case for all faculty members at DAVU, but it's important to do your research and assess the faculty's qualifications before making a decision.
  • The management at DAVU is pathetic. It's important to research the college or university's management and assess whether they are supportive of students and committed to providing a good education.
  • Another consideration is the location of the college or university. DAV University is far away from the city. This may make it more difficult to access resources and opportunities outside of the college or university.
  • There is no job guarantee at DAVU. While this may not be the case for all colleges or universities, it's important to research the college or university's placement record and assess whether they have a good track record of helping students find employment after graduation.

DAVIET may be a better option than DAV University due to its more experienced and qualified faculty, better management, and overall positive learning environment. However, it's important to do your own research and assess whether DAVIET or any other college or university is the right fit for you based on your academic and personal goals.

Between JNU and Delhi School Of Economics, which option will be the best to pursue a PhD in economics for an individual?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 4th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

Ph.D. is different from other degrees in which you learn and take exams. During your Ph.D. you need a research guide who takes an interest in your work and is involved in active research in the same field as you.

Unless your guide is active in research, they can not guide you. Here research refers to publishable research in good journals.

Your field of research will determine the better option out of the two to pursue your Ph.D. in Economics. If say, you wish to work on Marxism/Communism or related topics, CESP JNU is the right choice for you. You will find ample assistance in JNU.

If you wish to work in Micro Theory such as on Contract theory or Industrial Organization, DSE will be the right option. There are more faculty members in DSE than CITD JNU who work in these areas.

If you wish to work on DSGE literature ( Macro), the guide will exist as a formality and you will be on your own for the most part. This field of research is not pursued by most in India and you will mostly have to rely on yourself.

Also, if you wish to work in the corporate after your Ph.D. , join DSE as it offers very good placements. JNU does not offer on campus placements. The economics at JNU though, is very enriching. There you will be exposed to a variety of subjects, debates, etc. 

You must choose between JNU and DSE for your Ph.D. Economics, based on your personal preference and your field of research.

What should I choose between Pondicherry University, JNU, DU for MA philosophy? Why? Which is more economical?

MLISC from University of Delhi (2021)

You should choose JNU for MA in Philosophy. It offers better learning opportunities. JNU is also the best economical choice. MA Philosophy from JNU costs only INR 654. 

JNU has wonderful History, Aesthetics, and Sociology department. This is an advantage if you want your Philosophy course to be thoroughly interdisciplinary. The residential university life of JNU is a unique learning experience in itself.

How has NIT Hamirpur changed your life?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : September 13th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

One of my friends recently passed out from NIT Hamirpur and shared his experience. He learned a lot of things from college. I have listed a few below

  • You aren’t special and all your peers are equally special. So do not consider yourself superior or inferior to others.
  • Every student here has his own strengths, talents, and life experiences. So, do not compare yourself with others. Instead of competing with your peers, compete with yourself.
  • Always adopt a humble attitude and socialize well. Maintain good relations with the people around you. 
  • Work smart, not hard. Invest your efforts smartly and manage your time really well.
  • You will learn about the culture of Himachal Pradesh.

These were just a few things that changed him completely in four years at NIT Hamirpur.

Should I go for MDI or IIM-Indore?

SR
Sucheta Roy Posted On : August 30th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad

Both IIM Indore Mumbai Campus and MDI Gurgaon are very good institutes for Management Studies. Both institutes are on a par with each other on an academic level however there is a slight difference when it comes to job opportunities and such. Another factor is the alumni network. IIM has a better alumni network than MDI.

  • The IIM tag will definitely help you in the long run. 
  • When it comes to placements companies tend to offer more salaries to IIM Indore students when compared to MDI. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at IIM Indore is 23 LPA. For MDI, the average CTC ranges around 20 LPA. 
  • Even for consultancy job roles, IIM Indore is the preferable choice of the companies.
  • IIM Indore has a strong international linkage and is well connected to the nearby industry. 
  • IIM is also preferable due to its vast spread network of alumni who are in every major company in every major position spread across the globe.

Due to the above reasons, IIM Indore is better than MDI.
