What were subjects taught or 'majors' in Nalanda University in ancient India?
Most of the things we know about Nalanda University are from Tibetan traditions and preachings. There are many accounts about Nalanda by Hiuen Tsang and Yijing who preached Buddhism in China by adapting many texts from Nalanda University.
Apparently, there are four doxographies on Buddhist philosophies taught at Nalanda which are as follows.
- Sarvastivada Vaibhasika (which is based on early orthodox Kashmiri Buddhist tradition)
- Sarvastivada Sautrantika
- Madhyamaka, the Mahayana philosophy of Nagarjuna
- Chittamatra, the Mahayana philosophy of Asanga and Vasubandhu
Along with these, for major preachings, Nalanda also focused on Vedic learning which revolved around Vedic texts, rituals, Samkhya, and the Vedangas. Medicine, law, astronomy, city planning, linguistics, and reasoning were also part of their curriculum.
How do the new HR programs of IIM Ranchi, NMIMS, and XIMB measure up to the established ones of XLRI, TISS, MDI and SCMHRD?
The simple answer to your question is no, the new HR programs of IIM Ranchi, NMIMS, or XIMB are not at par with the established ones XLRI, TISS, MDI, and SCMHRD. The established programs especially that of XLRI are the epitome of HR programs. They cannot be compared to the new ones at any given level or parameter.
- Faculty: The professors of XLRI are renowned throughout the industry for their competency. They specialize in almost every domain one can think of be it Law, Competency Modeling, Compensation, or Performance Management.
- Peers: It’s the cream students who get the opportunity to get into a prestigious college like XLRI. You can see tough competition between the finest students at college. Every individual has a valuable opinion and stands to contradict others. Their thinking pattern is broad and given a case study, they look at all angles from accounting to finance to laws while proposing the solution. The situation at TISS is also quite similar.
Now one can say that the curriculum can be replicated and learned faculty can be sought to match the quality of the HR program at these institutes. But the truth is faculty and curriculum are the main but not the only factors that determine an institute's worth. Its own culture, ethics, and background have a lot to do with the programs it offers.
So one cannot match XLRIs programs no matter how much they try.

What is better, BTech IT from KIET Ghaziabad or CSE from ABES Engineering College Ghaziabad?
As a former BTech student in the IT branch at KIET, let me tell you that this branch is the best among all the others.
Just last year in 2023, the placement percentage from the IT branch was around 93.81%. The highest package was INR 48.89 LPA. The average package was around INR 6.78 LPA.
Not only last year, but the placements have been consistently good since the last 5-6 years.
What is the average and highest package of JNTUH and Osmania University I want to take up CSE course?
The average and highest package offered to students can vary from year to year, depending on various factors such as the current job market, the performance of the students, and the reputation of the institutions.
Both JNTUH and Osmania University are reputed institutions for Computer Science and Engineering courses, and their students have secured good placements in the past. The average package offered to CSE graduates from these institutions can range from 3 to 10 lakhs per annum, while the highest package can go up to 20 lakhs or more per annum, depending on the company and the job profile.
While a good package is important, it's not the only factor to consider when choosing a college or course. Other factors such as the quality of education, faculty, infrastructure, and opportunities for research and innovation should also be considered.
Which is the best college to apply for a one-year construction management course in Canada, George Brown, Centennial, or Fanshawe? Do all three offer internships?
My brother is currently pursuing the Construction Engineering Technician (T161) course from George Brown College. It is a two year course, and an extra year places it into an advanced diploma (T105).
George Brown offers plenty of job opportunities from a variety of construction companies across Canada. The college regularly holds a job fair in which prominent companies like Bird Construction, Aecon, EllisDon, PCL, etc. take part. A large number of alumni from our college work at one or the other of these reputed companies.
All the three colleges offer internships, but according to my brother, George Brown is a better option for the construction management program.
