I got call letter from BIMTECH Greater Noida for admission to PGDM course but my college exams are clashing with the interview date. What should I do?
One of my friends graduated from BIMTECH and having read online reviews regarding this here are a few things worth mentioning:
- Birla Institute of Management Technology (BIMTECH) was established in 1988.
- It has been accredited with an ‘A+’ grade by NAAC.
- BIMTECH offers two years of Full-Time AICTE approved post-graduate diploma courses in PGDM in General Management, PGDM in International Business, PGDM in Insurance Business Management, and PGDM in Retail Management.
It is advised that you should send an email to BIMTECH and attach your exam datasheet along with it. Tell them that due to your exams it’s not possible to attend the PI process. The PI process will be either preponed or postponed according to your convenience. They generally have a flexible schedule for the interview date.
Which is better purely in terms of placement, XLRI BM or HRM?
Although choosing a course just based on placement records is not a good idea, there are some insights you must know before deciding.
- Placement is for the first job which you might do for 2–3 years while your career will span for 30–35 years. You should choose what you feel you want to be doing.
- You must have heard that HR roles offer you better work-life balance but it might not be true in every case. It depends a lot on the company, your manager, and your role. If work-life balance is your criteria, you might feel a shock when you join a company. HR might not have business targets but you may face other pressures.
- Placements in any campus depend on your luck too. HR batch strength increase in XL might make the competition for the good roles a little higher because the number of HR roles is limited. BM batch is still divided amongst Fin/Mar/Ops camps giving them specific roles but the number of opportunities might be higher.
All in all, placements won't secure your future in any way if you choose a field where you aren’t interested.
Which one is better, an M.A. in Education (Elementary) from TISS or from Azim Premji University?
Tata Institute of Social Science (TISS) offers M.H.A, PGD, MA, B.Ed courses. Azim Premji University offers BA, MA, L.L.M, B.Sc. courses. A friend of mine recommended M.A in Education from Azim Premji University(APU) as it is better, considering various aspects:
- Faculty: Azim Premji University includes faculty from all over the world. Eminent educationists like Aman Madan, ex faculty of TISS and Rohit Dhankar are now part of the renowned faculty of APU.
- Infrastructure: Both the universities are well known for their state of the art infrastructure, with the APU campus being a marvel in progress and will have an even more of a competitive edge against other universities.
- Diversity: The geographic diversity among students is well matched in both TISS and APU, with their campuses being colloquially dubbed as “Mini India”. On one hand, TISS focuses more on reservation and representation from each state and a majority of the urban student population. On the other hand, APU encompasses an urban to rural student population ratio of 50:50.
- Field Connection: The Field experience in both institutes are considered exemplary. TISS is known for giving the field exposure of working in various NGOs, experience of working in rural areas and slums whereas APU gives field experience at NGOs as well as at Azim Premji Foundation, an umbrella body for all NGOs.
- Financial Support: At TISS, financial assistance is provided on the basis of reservation and APU provides financial assistance on the basis of economic status. Economic status is confirmed through a field visit by a team of APU to the student’s home to confirm their candidature for financial support. At APU, all students in need of financial support can avail scholarships and also many students take up side jobs to earn extra money while pursuing studies.
In conclusion, TISS is known for its legacy of many famous social workers, but APU is favoured now by those who are education oriented.

How is the food at NIT calicut? Can people from other states adjust?

How is the girls hostel at VSSUT Burla?
VSSUT Burla has 3 girls' hostels, each with its pros and cons.
- Anuradha H.R: This hostel is for first-year students with 4 seater rooms. Excessive sharing may give a congested experience but it is also crucial for binding between peers. This hostel has all the basic amenities one could ask for.
- Visakha H.R: Currently it’s the hostel that accommodates 3rd year students. It’s an old hostel with not very well-maintained rooms. The best part however is the direct LAN connection for 24 hrs. This hostel also has an excellent canteen facility.
- Arundhati H.R: This is the biggest girls' hostel of VSSUT run by the government. All the facilities are run by students including the mess and common room. This hostel accommodates final-year BTech, 1st year MTech, and MSc students. As it’s recently renovated, this hostel offers the best facilities.
All the 3 hostels are in close proximity to the college and students can stay out till 7 PM. Hope the information was useful.
