I have done part time MBA from IIM Lucknow (WMP), Is it okay to apply for PGPX courses at IIM A/B/C?

SA
Sonal Agarahari Posted On : January 9th, 2023
IPM from Indian Institute of Management Rohtak (Expected 2024)

No, I wouldn’t recommend you apply for a PGPX course at IIM A B or C if you have completed a part-time MBA from IIM Lucknow. The reason is the huge overlap of electives in almost all the programs offered at IIMs. Leaving a few courses most of which are repeated in all the programs be it part-time or full-time.

Towards the end of the course, you might end up spending a hefty fee and lots of time and yet not learning anything new. If anything you might just get placed at a better firm. But that too will be useless if you are unable to harness the acquired knowledge and skills in the open market. The question is if your job will be worth your year lost, your lost opportunities, and 25-30 lakhs of loan.

Still, if you want to pursue the course go for a top MBA course abroad. That might make a difference in your resume and job prospects.

Which is better, a PGDM in banking and financial services at IMI, Delhi or a PGDM general in LBSIM, Delhi?

RP
Rajan Patel Posted On : March 3rd, 2023
PGDM Finance, Institute of Management Technology, Ghaziabad (2018)

I can speak with certainty that PGDM at LBSIM is a far better option than PGDM in Financial services at IMI Delhi. My brother is a recent pass out from LBSIM and the following highlight of the institute are based on his personal experiences 

  • The IIRF ranks LBSIM 25th among private colleges
  • It has a spectacular ROI in terms of placements and fees
  • LBSIM is famous for its student culture
  • You can get an insight into various angles of the industry you will be dealing with in the future 
  • You can avail an abundance of opportunities through live projects and get to have a detailed experience in your specialization.
  • The institute prioritizes a practical approach over theoretical knowledge through academic activities outside the classroom
  • Various academic and non-academic clubs make the environment a friendly one 
  • The institute boasts of a 100% placement record
  • It has an elaborate alumni network that is spread across top companies like Big Four’s, Arcesium, Marsh & Mclennan, Asian Paints, Crisil
  • LBSIM collaborates with various international universities for its student exchange program. Some of them include Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, Northern Illinois University, USA, European Higher School of Economics and Management, Bulgaria etc.
  • A unique feature of the B School is its Bloomberg Terminal which is restricted to the top B Schools like IIM B, IIM C, and FMS only.

All these points clearly state that LBSIM is a very good choice for a PGDM program.

Which one is better between Bangalore Institute of Technology, BMSIT, RNSIT and Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering for ECE and placement-wise and college life?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : July 24th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Both Bangalore Institute of Technology and Dayanand Sagar College are great colleges and much better than BMSIT and RNSIT. However, they are comparable based on 2 aspects, placements, and college life.

  • Placements-wise, BIT is the best among the aforementioned institutes.
  • In terms of college life experience, DSC is better than BIT. 

While some may say that college life is a subjective matter and varies from person to person, I think the campus itself plays a major role.

AR
Aditi Roy Posted On : October 11th, 2023
lives in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

NIT Kurukshetra IT is a much better choice than NIT Delhi CSE. IT is in fact a much better branch these days considering the syllabus of both branches.

  • NIT Kurukshetra B.Tech ranking by NIRF is 58 out of 200 colleges in India in 2023.
  • NIT Kurukshetra is as old as NIT Delhi so its infrastructure, alumni network, and brand name are at par with NIT Delhi.
  • NIT Kurukshetra has air-conditioned classrooms, and well-maintained hostels and is located remotely in a serene area whereas NIT Delhi, is nowhere located near the city of Delhi.

NIT Kurukshetra IT placements have been mentioned below:

Number of eligible students

91

Students placed

Placement% 

93.41%

Should I go for a PGPM in MDI Gurgaon or for IIM L ABM?

RS
Rishika Shindde Posted On : February 22nd, 2023
MBA in Marketing & Finance, Management Development Institute, Gurgaon (Graduated 2018)

Go for the IIM Lucknow ABM program only if you are sincerely inclined towards agri. If not then choosing ABM will limit your career prospects considerably and you might even regret it later.

MDI Gurgaon PGDM is one of the oldest programs that have great value. MDI Gurgaon can easily be called the country’s best B School. The admissions are solely based on merit so the quality of your peers is top-notch. Some major highlights of the institute and its PGDM program are

  • Experienced permanent faculty
  • Student-driven clubs
  • Student-driven Mutual Fund 
  • Elaborate alumni network 
  • Lush green campus
  • Excellent peer learning

So you will not regret choosing MDI even over IIM Lucknow.

What should I choose. 1. CSE Jadavpur University 2. B.Tech + M.Tech dual degree CSE @ IIEST, Shibpur 3. CSE @ NIT Durgapur?

IB
Ishika Biswas Posted On : March 22nd, 2021
Studied at Jadavpur University

First of all, never compare Jadavpur University with NIT Durgapur for the Engineering stream. Second important thing is, people usually prefer B.Tech and M.Tech students over the one who has opted for Dual degree program. The reason for this is dual degree programs are not valuable in industry or research.

Talking particularly about CSE, Jadavpur University is quite good and even better than the new IITs and most of the NITs. Among the given options, CSE at Jadavpur University is the best option to opt for. You will enjoy your studies here. You will have a good range of research projects. You will get abundant internship opportunities from here. Although placements at JU are not as great as compared to IITs, NITs, BITS, and IIITs.

Which must one choose: M.Tech. from IIT Bombay or MBA from IIM Bangalore?

AB
Arun Balakrishnan Posted On : February 27th, 2023
Startup Enthusiast, Biker, Music Lover, Cricketer

An MTech from IIT Bombay and an MBA from IIM Bangalore are two very different options. While one focuses on technological aspects the other focuses on managerial aspects. So before even dwelling on the worth of the courses individually you should self-analyze your inclinations and choose one path you are sure about.

Jot down your short and long-term goals. What exactly are you willing to do in your life apart from earning money? Are you more inclined to the corporate world or are the technical elements that attract you more? Having clarity of goals and understanding of what you want from your life is the primary determining factor for choosing your college as well as course.

Objectively, both courses offer a plethora of job prospects and you will gain a lot by choosing any of the two. But making a wise decision here is most important. Choosing an MBA just because it has good career prospects despite having an interest in technology is deluding yourself. You cannot attain success unless you are sincerely passionate about the field you are pursuing.

Which one is better for CSE: Jaypee Institute of Information Technology or NIT Hamirpur?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : September 14th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

There are several factors which one can consider while comparing two institutions. Here are some things that I considered while choosing my college.

NIT Hamirpur will offer you the prestigious ‘NIT’ tag. As compared to other colleges in this region, the environment over there is superior. By environment I mean the learning, interaction and personal development offered at an institution. The placements are continuously improving with new companies visiting the campus each year, offering better packages. This college has shown positive growth in terms of exposure and student- teacher interaction as well.

Even though I’m a student of NIT Hamirpur, my opinion is devoid of such biases. Thus, according to me, NIT Hamirpur is a better choice for your CSE program.
