One of my friends is a final-year student at IIEST Shibpur. According to him, the placement last year has been great. Microsoft IDC (PPO), Mentor Graphics, CESC Ltd (PPO), Tata Steel (PPO), Bentley Systems completed their recruitment process on campus and hired more candidates than they did last year. Companies like Atlassian, Samsung R&D, and PwC are also expected to recruit on campus. A brief discussion about placements and other aspects of the institute are as follows. 

Placements:

• Pre-final year students got internship offers from various firms like Microsoft R&D, Deutsche Bank, Wells Fargo, and Texas Instruments this year. Other firms which will be having on-campus recruitment will most likely be hiring interns also. Hence, needless to mention that the placement scenario has continued its trend of improvement this year as well.
• Students have been hired in companies like Microsoft IDC, Cognizant, Samsung R&D, Infosys, TCS Research and Innovation, Z. S. Associates, etc. from campus placements. Off-campus placements also include Google (Bangalore). 
• The median salary that has been offered is around 7 LPA and every one of the scholars participating in placements got placed. The placement cell improved and has become more proactive and efficient in training and placement of scholars.

Infrastructure:

• All departments, libraries and hostels are Wi-Fi enabled with decent speeds. The Science and Technology Department features a 1Gigabit backbone network. 
• The rooms and labs are well maintained and have all the specified equipment. The central library is not extremely big but features a good assortment of useful titles. There are smaller departmental libraries also. 
• The hostels are decent and clean but might be improved. They need indoor game facilities also. A replacement hostel for women has just been built and features a far better review. 
• There are multiple canteens on Campus serving good quality food at reasonable rates and a CCD stall with significantly cheaper rates than usual. 
• Other amenities include Gymnasium, Sports fields, Court and Infirmary.

Faculty:

• The college consists of highly qualified and knowledgeable teachers. They clear the doubts if consulted. Most teachers teach using both chalkboard and multimedia aids. 
• There are multiple teachers and other lab assistants to guide the students during the lab classes. 
• The course curriculum is aligned with most other national institutions and contains the essential topics necessary for the course.

The campus is lush green and located on the bank of the river Ganges. Right beside the institute is Botanical Gardens. Many events take place at the institute all year around. There are annual Techno-Management fest Instruo, Annual Cultural fests Rebecca and Anuranan, and departmental fests. Besides that, there are also sports events. Meritorious students can avail scholarships sponsored by the Alumni Association.

The academics of almost all B Schools across India are more or less the same. IMI Delhi claims to be the third in intellectual capital which is the quality of faculty. This ranking is however justifiable as IMI Delhi does have the best pool of faculty.

The next thing to consider while analyzing the worth of a B School is the kind of culture it offers to its students. The culture is still not at par with top institutes like IMT, MDI, SP Jain, IIM, etc., and is growing steadily. Still, over the last few years, IMI has witnessed a drastic change in culture mainly stemming from the various administrative changes made. These efficient and transparent changes have increased the culture quality at IMI Delhi.

The placement scenario has been improving at a steady pace like any other B School. Most 2 and 3-tier institutes will provide a similar experience and can be considered for an MBA. However, do not target a B-school lesser in worth than this because MBA mainly depends on the worth of the institution.

IMI Delhi is among the top B Schools in tier 2 and the only B Schools better than this are old IIMs, FMS, MDI, IIFT, SP Jain, Jamnalal Bajaj, XLRI, and NM Mumbai.

My review of SVNIT is a mixed one. It is a good choice in almost every aspect other than sports.

For sports enthusiasts, SVNIT is not the right choice. The condition of sports facilities at our college is not good. The sports grounds are not in a good shape. The cricket/football ground becomes a grassland from July to December. 

The indoor badminton courts, which are two in number, are immensely insufficient to cater to around 4000 students. Each one has to wait a long time for their turn, and is given around 10 minutes to play the sport. Such a huge number of students can not access the badminton courts for sufficient durations. MMNCT is the best sports event of the year. It is an inter-year cricket tournament that takes place at night. The gym is well designed and has all the modern equipment.

Many classes are boring. But a lot of the professors, especially in the Civil department, teach really well. The marking system is very transparent, and after 15-30 days post the exams, answer sheets are made available for students to have a look. The classrooms are also very school-like in appearance. The rules are lenient, and most teachers are satisfied with a 60% student attendance. 

The location is quite good, and malls, theaters, etc. are easily accessible. The campus is located in a posh area of Surat. Places like Mumbai, Daman, etc. are easily accessible for getaways. The placements are top notch, the clubs are plenty and quite decent. The mess food is quite good as well.

Unless you are very serious about getting the best sports facilities, SVNIT is a good college. But for sports facilities, I would recommend you try for MNIT Jaipur.

When considering joining a B-School, it's important to look at various factors to determine if it's the right fit for you. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect from IBS Hyderabad:

• Crowd: With a batch of a thousand people, there is a diverse group of individuals to interact with and learn from. It's recommended to seek out those who can aid in your growth and development.
• Infrastructure: The college buildings and facilities are of good quality and the lecture theatres offer a realistic experience of what an MBA class is like.
• Academics and Faculties: There is a range of faculties with extensive experience and influence. Some may impress you with their teaching abilities, while others may not align with your preferences.
• Clubs: The college has over 25 clubs in various fields like marketing, finance, entrepreneurship, sports, entertainment, and more. Participating in clubs can be a great way to engage and learn about teamwork, leadership, deadlines, and event planning.
• Mess food: The food quality can be inconsistent, but there is a variety of dishes available, including North Indian and South Indian cuisines. There are also 6-7 dhabas located 400 meters from the campus.
• Campus Environment: The campus atmosphere is lively most of the year and there are frequent events held. Additionally, the greenery on campus is impressive and receives a 10/10 rating.

In conclusion, if you have the opportunity to improve your entrance exam scores by taking another year, it is recommended to do so. If not, joining IBS Hyderabad can be a great opportunity for growth through its competitive environment.

The best part about the University of Oklahoma is that the fees are not exorbitant and it has a great reputation. It ranks at #133 in National Universities according to US News. The upper division classes are small which will help you build valuable relationships with your professor. In my sister’s experience with Biochemistry, the department is a close knit circle and you will also learn to develop connections and network. 

Location:

The institute is located in Norman, Oklahoma which is a free-thinking town with affordable housing and you will have a large campus to explore. It is littered with gyms, libraries and fine arts spaces with really good architecture. The college also has an active football scene and in my opinion, you will definitely end up at a game or two.

Classes:

Depending on the course you choose, your course classes may have 500+ students to small classes with just 30 students in a class. The faculty is also quite approachable and genuinely cares for students and their academics.

Placements:

On an average, their graduates make about USD 70,929 per year so you can expect to make an amount closer to this. OhioHealth and JP Morgan and Chase are some of the popular companies that hire students. 

You can expect to have a good career after graduating from the program and have a great college life as well. Just research a little about the program you want to go to and give it a shot!

The Army Institute of Management, Kolkata is a highly recommended college for pursuing a graduate management degree in the city.

Academics:

• The faculties are great and friendly.
• There are frequent external lectures and industrial visits. Through which you will get to learn the know-how of the industry.

Campus:

The hostel is compulsory. There are separate hostels for girls and boys. Mess food is good. Ragging is dealt with strict punishment.

Placements:

• Students placed in the campus placement drives are offered jobs throughout India such as New Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata, etc.
• For the 2018-20 batch, highest salary offered was INR 10 lakhs per annum and the average salary was INR 5.07 lakhs per annum with companies such as OYO Rooms, Make My Trip, PwC, TCS, DHL, etc. recruiting from the campus.

Alumni:

The vast alumni network is one of the advantages of the institute. There are more than 220 alumni who are currently working in the North American region.

So overall, it is a very good institute for pursuing a management degree.

My review of IIT BHU will be based on some very common parameters.

• Infrastructure: The academic buildings are not air-conditioned and are equipped with obsolete instruments. The hostels are surrounded by natural beauty but the living conditions are pathetic with cramped rooms and dirty toilets. The poor LAN connections are a major major problem here. 
• Faculty: The faculty again is very disappointing. some even lack basic knowledge and some are too arrogant to guide the students. The answer sheets are checked in a disorganized way and the pedagogy adopted is old school. So here, you will have to completely depend on self-study.
• Research: The majority of the faculty focuses on administrative tasks and fails to encourage students to research work. The institute has no globally recognized research work to date.
• Facilities: The library has poorly organized books and lacks good study material. The LAN network is another major issue faced by students here. The departments are closed by 6 ok and the library is locked by 10 pm. This is a major hindrance during exams.
• Campus life: The frequent student activities make the campus life of IIT BHU lively and dynamic. A number of activities are organized in IIT-Gymkhana by the students and Kashi Yatra is the annual cultural festival of the institute. There are amazing sports facilities like huge grounds and fields for Cricket, Football, Badminton, and Tennis.
• Placements: IIT BHU has one of the best placements among the top IITs. Currently, IIT Bhu Placements 2023 is being held and around 474 offers and 305 PPOs have been made. IIT BHU's highest CTC was recorded at INR 1.2 CPA. A total of 117 recruiters took part in IIT BHU Placements 2023. Top recruiters included Airbnb India, Uber, Microsoft, Accenture, Piramal, etc. Last year the highest CTC stood at INR 2.05 CPA which was offered by UBER.

Overall, IIT BHU is a great choice if you are willing to sacrifice the hostel conditions and self-study.
