Which is better IMT Ghaziabad PGDM (marketing) or IMI Delhi PGDM?

SB
Sayan Bagchi Posted On : June 4th, 2022
studied at Institute of Management Technology, Ghaziabad

IMT Ghaziabad is an excellent choice for Marketing. The faculty, resources, facilities, and brand value are better in IMT G. Marketing is the top recruiting sector for the institute. During IMT Ghaziabad placements 2022, Marketing had a whopping 66% placement rate. But there is a trade-off. The batch strength is too high. It’s extremely difficult to get good placement opportunities. 

IMI has a lower batch size. It is a good option for HR and finance specialization. The placement packages offered at IMI and IMT are similar. Both B-Schools have an average CTC of around INR 15 LPA. 

You should choose one of these B-School, based on your choice of specialization.

How is IIM Calcutta for the advanced program in data science, 1 year certification course? Is it better than the ISB Hyderabad course and IIITB PGD in data analytics?

AR
Ayush Raj Posted On : November 24th, 2022
PGDM from Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (Graduated 1994)

In my opinion, the IIM APDS is just an average course. ISB Hyderabad course is much better. It’s better to do Data Science courses from technical universities rather than Management colleges like IIM. Also, the IIM APDS course is quite expensive and more like a BA course than Data Science. It focuses more on Business Mathematics/ Business case study discussion than how to explore a data set.

ISBs course best among these courses because it has all the things that are required:

  • Brand

  • Faculty

  • Industry Connect

  • Curriculum

  • Alumni

Also this course has more time for all the subjects and capstone projects too. The only drawback is the high fees.

Should I take MSc Maths at BITS Pilani?

SD
Shruti Dasgupta Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
Student at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

Let me clear the general misconception that the level of MSc Maths at BITS Pilani is similar to the 10+2 level. Class 12th Maths is highly analytical while MSc Maths is full of definitions, theories, and proofs. The pedagogy adopted is poor and the majority of students study this subject despite a lack of interest.

For someone who has no interest in Analytical stuff, courses such as ERA, Topology, and Functional Analysis can be very challenging. Some courses which will intrigue you will be of no use because BITS follows the relative grading system where you are graded according to how well you perform as compared to others.

Overall, if you like complex theories and expressions then go for it, but if you too have no interest in complex theories it’s better to not take it. 

While many claims that Maths+CS is the best combo, let me tell you that you can take 3–4 Maths courses that help in CS as electives in your CS degree. MSc in Maths is a suitable option only if you are willing to pursue a career in Mathematical research, else the best dual degree option is MSc in Economics. The curriculum is light and knowledgeable.

Which is better for ug university college of medical sciences (ucms) or vmmc?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 25th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

As a student of UCMS, I will try to enlighten you about my college.

  • Location- It is true that UCMS is located in the periphery of Delhi, and its surrounding is not as developed as that of VMMC. Regardless, the location of UCMS offers most of the facilities required for a good college life. You can access Cinepolis, PVR and Big Cinemas from here, reach CP in 20-30 minutes by metro/private vehicle, and catch a metro from Jhilmil metro station to explore Delhi/NCR. 
  • Campus- UCMS has a beautiful campus, the best among Delhi medical colleges. It has a huge central field where you can play cricket, basketball, football, etc. Boys get single seater hostel rooms from the first year itself. The campus has two 24*7 canteens, a book shop from where you can access all your medical books, an ATM, and a post office.The hospital has undergone renovation, and looks new and well managed.
  • Academics- UCMS offers excellent academics. The faculty is skilled and teaches with sincerity. The Histology Lab in the Anatomy department is really good. 
  • Extracurriculars- UCMS has a sports society, a western dance team, a theme choreography team, a dramatics team, a musical society, a literary society and a medical education unit. You can join any of these.

According to me, both UCMS and VMMS are good medical colleges. You can choose the latter if location is a concern to you, otherwise, UCMS is a good choice too.

How is M.Tech in computer science at IIIT-Bangalore?

AG
Akriti Gupta Posted On : October 10th, 2023
M.tech From IIIT Bangalore

I completed my M.Tech CSE from IIIT Bangalore a few years back. Based on my experience, here are some pros and cons of joining this course/college-

Pros

  1. IIIT Bangalore sees a very diverse crowd. Students from various ethnic and academic backgrounds join the college each year. While some leave their jobs to pursue an M.Tech, others join right after their B.Tech. Some are very research-oriented and plan for a Ph.D. in the future. 
  2. The students are very serious about academics. But they are also very supportive of each other.
  3. The seniors are very supportive and friendly. The college alumni network is very strong.
  4. The faculty for M.Tech CSE is very dedicated and helpful. 
  5. The campus is neat, and Bangalore is just great for tech enthusiasts.
  6. Almost everyone is placed with a decent paycheck by the end of the course. Many students receive PPOs.

Cons

  1. The campus is small, and the college isn’t very old.
  2. The fees are quite high.
  3. IIIT Bangalore ranks below top NITs and is comparatively less popular.
  4. The administration isn’t student-friendly.
  5. Final sem students are forced to stay in the hostel if they intern anywhere in Bangalore. This is inconvenient if one’s office is far off, considering Bangalore’s traffic.
  6. The hostel curfew timings aren’t very convenient. No one is allowed outside of the campus post 10 PM.

In spite of some cons, IIIT Bangalore is a great choice for an M.Tech CSE.

Is it worth paying 13 lacs or more for a B.Tech CSE in KIIT University?

KS
Kalyan Sahu Posted On : July 25th, 2023
Lives in Bhubaneshwar

Whether a particular degree is worth the money you spend depends on a number of factors like your financial background and your future prospects. One of my relatives completed his BTech in CSE in 2012 and got a job that helped him pay back the loan within 2 years. However, this may not be the case for everyone. That being said, consider the following scenarios

  1. If you have zero financial constraints and want to live a dreamy college life, then KIIT is certainly the best place for you. 
  2. If your parents have been saving money for you, save that for your Master's and do your Bachelors in IITs or NITs instead.
  3. If you have financial issues and loam is the only option, then leave that option for Master

Nevertheless, if you are adamant about joining anyways, go for CS or IT which will provide better placement opportunities than other branches.
