One lesser-known fact about IIM Calcutta is the unhygienic conditions caused by the dirty lakes surrounding it. Mostly this truth is underestimated. But the reality is the pictures of the lakes at IIM Calcutta are misleading. They are nothing near surreal or beautiful. If anything they are the brooding ground of mosquitoes. Snakes and other poisonous creatures are also present here. Anyone who comes in contact with its water is bound to get skin infection or other ailments.

These lakes have been used as a marketing element for IIM Calcutta and it’s shocking that people believe such lies. 

Life at SCMHRD is amazing with a balance of academic rigor and fun activities.

Pros: 

• The rich legacy has produced a number of prominent alumni. These alumni have uplifted the value of the BIT tag to a great extent through their achievements. 
• BITS has a highly flexible curriculum and campus life making it possible to grow as a whole.

Cons

• The college is not well-known among the masses and is only recognized by the people of Bihar, Jharkhand, and some parts of Bengal.
• The administration does not pay heed to the student's complaints. 
• The students cannot enjoy the city life colleges in Delhi and other metro cities offer.
• There are many hostel restrictions and students cannot roam around after sunset.

It can be said that NLSIU is the best institute for law. Here are some reasons as to why.

• The library at NLSIU is one of the biggest in the country. 
• As far as extracurriculars are concerned, every trimester has something to offer. 
• In the first semester, there's Spiritus which is the biggest sports fest among all the law schools with participation from more than 20–30 colleges. 
• In the second trimester, there are Strawberry fields which is one of the biggest music festivals in the country with the participation of more than 60 bands from all over the country. 
• Lastly, in every trimester there's also some sporting event within the campus like gully cricket league, football league, and basketball league, and so on. 
• If you include debate moots, etc. it has so much to offer. 
• In the third semester, a whole week is devoted to extracurriculars from dance to music to dress-up competitions, etc.

Studying at NLSIU is hectic but never boring and the statement about no extracurricular activities is false. There are so many extracurricular activities that you might sometimes get confused about which to take part in.

BITS Pilani has the best mess food of any other institute in India. They fed us delicious food that felt homey. Students also have access to small shops nearby to satisfy their bellies. The students are given non-vegetarian food on all days except Tuesdays, and on some days they will get add-ons like ice cream and sweets. So do not worry about the food available here. BITS Pilani never disappoints you.

One of the most cited B Schools in India, the Faculty of Management Studies focuses more on management education and not just on business management. The pedagogy comprises fieldwork, case studies, and feedback with a strong emphasis on concepts and theory.

According to IIFT 2022, its national rank is 4th. I will try to give an unbiased review based on the following aspects 

Placements

FMS Delhi maintains a stable placement record of almost 100% over the years. Students receive high salary packages every year. The highest salary this year stood at INR 58 LPA whereas the average salary stood at INR 34.2 LPA which increased by 30.5% as compared to the previous year. Some major firms that visited the campus for recruitment are Boston Consulting Group, Nykaa, Paytm, Adobe, Adani Group, and BYJU.

Infrastructure 

Although FMS offers no special hostel facilities, the DU hostels are also a choice. Around 20% of the batch go for hostels test search for PGs or flats near the campus itself. The students can avail of playground and sports facilities at Delhi University.

Faculty 

The faculty is top-notch and very experienced. The teaching is not restricted to classrooms and assignments rather the faculty adopts a case-based approach. Various live projects are conducted every year. Top management executives visit the campus and hold guest lectures to provide maximum exposure to its students. Other assignments and field projects have tight deadlines and aid in the proper evaluation of the students.

So overall I think FMS is really a good choice for someone who wants to learn from the best at minimal expenses.
