How is the scope of 1 year courses such as quantity surveying and health and environment safety from NICMAR?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : May 8th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

These two courses, PGP in QSCM and HSEM, are offered only at the Hyderabad campus. As both these courses are very specialized so they ensure core jobs in core sectors. 

The main reasons why most people feel reluctant to join these courses are;

  • As these courses are very profile specific so the scope gets further narrowed down.
  • As these courses are offered by only NICMAR in India so people feel alone and don't have much scope.

Nevertheless, if you are really interested in the above courses then you should go for them because they are really good. PGP in QSCM will open the construction sector and the PGP in HSEM will bring opportunities in petroleum, manufacturing, and mining.

What are the best courses to take in IIM Lucknow?

AM
Amit Mourya Posted On : February 2nd, 2021
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (2019)

There are several excellent courses to be chosen to take in IIM Lucknow. Here is a list of some of the preferred choices.

  • Marketing-- Consumer Behaviour – Taken by Professor Dash.
    Professor Dash has his own eccentricities. Even after leaving that aside, just doing a proper pre-read and being attentive in the class, students can gain a tremendous amount of knowledge. It is heard that AMR is even better.
  • Strategy—Strategic Alliances – Taken by Professor Amita Mittal.
    Professor Amita Mittal is patient, has her own wit, and explains each strategy concept carefully. She elaborates theory concepts with real-life examples, and this keeps her audience engaged to listen. She is known to deliver excellent pre-reads.
  • Decision Science—Game Theory Application—taken by Yogesh Kumar Agarwal. He is very popular among students. 

These are some of the personal choices. There are several other professors who deliver excellent lectures and are equally reputed among students.

Which college is better for BBA course Loyola College or Madras Christian College?

SM
Subhashree Mukharjee Posted On : October 4th, 2021
B.Sc. Physics,Loyola College,Chennai

There is not much difference when we talk about the course and the subjects but the environment is significantly different for both. Here are some things that you should know about the institutes. 

Freedom- MCC offers a lot of freedom to its students in the way they dress and express themselves as compared to Loyola. Even for attendance, it is not as strict as Loyola. Loyola asks its students to pay for condonation and then sit for an exam. 

Ragging- It is still very much prevalent at MCC and sometimes it crosses the healthy limit as well. On the other hand, ragging is very rare at Loyola.

Drug scene- MCC is infamous for its drug-related incidents. While enrolling their children, parents are quite worried about this. On the other hand, Loyola does not have such a problem.

Campus- Both the campuses are extremely beautiful with an amazing experience of studying in the college.

College life- When it comes to cultural and extracurricular activities, MCC is more active as compared to Loyola. They conduct a lot of fests and different events which offer its students a lot of opportunities.

Here is a brief overview of the institutes. 

Category Loyola MCC
Companies Visited MRF, Infosys, TCS, etc. Deloitte, TCS, Wipro, etc.
Average CTC  3.5 lakh 2.31 lakh
Highest CTC 5.2 lakh 3.5 lakh

Therefore, it depends completely on what you want out of your college. If you want a good college life then you should opt for MCC. But if you want good academics then you should opt for Loyola. MCC has a diversified culture whereas Loyola has students mostly from Chennai.

NK

Studied at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad

Some Chartered Accountants or commerce graduates may have struggled with final courses at IIM Ahmedabad, possibly because the courses are far too advanced and specialized (such as financial engineering subjects), or because IIM A likes to surprise students in a variety of ways.

However, this is a rare case. This does not happen very often.

Some major advantages and disadvantages of a PGP through IIM Kozhikode are:

Is it worth to do Post graduation from IIM Sambalpur?

AM
Ashutosh Mohapatra Posted On : January 24th, 2023
Former Studied at DAV Public Schools, India (2009–2017)

Whether Post Graduation from IIM Sambalpur is worth it or not depends solely on what you want from your MBA and your career interests.

For instance, if you are already prospering in your current workplace, pursuing MBA is not worth the time and fees you will spend. The MBA degree will add no value to your profile so it’s better for you to keep working. I have seen many people forgoing offers from IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, and XLRI mainly because they are certain the MBA degree will add no value to their career and is just a waste of time and money.

While choosing any B School be it IIM Sambalpur or any other B School, you need to check if an MBA degree will help you escalate your career or if you will just end up with a hefty loan to repay and no career upgrade.

Coming to IIM Sambalpur specifically, I don’t think a person who is prospering at his current job and wants to do MBA just for the sake of it will want to join IIM Sambalpur. The MBA degree from that institute specifically adds no value at all to his profile. In other cases, you can think of joining IIM Sambalpur.
