Many of my friends have been students of the institute and thanks to it, I can say that they have succeeded quite well.

• Jaipuria taught them a never-give-up attitude.
• Their education gave them an upper hand in the competitive world outside.
• Jaipuria Lucknow pays equal focus on the fields of entrepreneurship creating not just quality professionals, but also future leaders.
• In addition to that, of course, the infrastructure, the faculty, the exposure, and the opportunities are all a plus point.

Through the campus drives for placement, many of my friends got into a rather famous telecom giant in the country, where they worked with top executives of the region, before quitting and starting their own business. I don’t know about other entrepreneurs, but I do know that other institutes wouldn’t really spend that much focus to move students into realizing their true place.

As an alumnus of NIT Raipur, here are my views on this institution-

• Faculty- The faculty lags behind in terms of NIT standards. It is slightly above average. This is because their teaching method is not very engaging. That being said, the teachers are helpful. They will advise you to engage in extracurriculars as well.

• Student Interaction- The senior-junior interaction is good. 

Despite IIT Raipur and AIIMS Raipur being in close proximity, interaction and

idea-sharing with them is negligible.

• Industry Connect- It has a good industry connection for some core branches like mining, metallurgy, and civil.

• Campus Life- The campus life isn’t good. But eventually, you’ll learn to cope with things and enjoy yourself. You’ll learn a lot during your degree from this campus. 

• Infrastructure- There is a lot of room for improvement in the infrastructure of this college.

• Placement- Placement records are decent. Last year an average package of INR 10.1 LPA was recorded by the college. A total of 738 offers were made by 101 companies. Some of the companies that visit the campus for placements include- Infoedge, Siemens, Adobe, Barclays, Capgemini, FIAT, Reliance, TATA, SapientNitro, Oracle, Amazon, Samsung, JP Morgan Chase, Cognizant and Wipro. 

Overall, I would say that NIT Raipur is a bit lacking in many respects. However, you’ll get a good chance to rise over here because of low competition.

SP Jain is a very good institution of Management yet it lacks the necessary popularity. It is not hyped like the IIMs but this does not mean it is any less than the top B Schools. In fact, there are many aspects that distinguish it from others in the family. The primary points of distinction are

• It has completely different criteria for admission wherein emphasis is given not only to grades but also to the individual’s personality. This is assessed by the firms the students submit answering various questions asked by the college.
• The batch is extremely vibrant and diverse comprising engineers, commerce graduates, and art graduates
• They give considerable weightage to work experience which is often ignored by other B Schools
• It has many international student exchange programs which open doors to new learning experiences and opportunities 
• It stresses on value-based education. This means grades are important but not to the point that a student is merely surviving to score high and learns nothing.
• The faculty is extremely capable with a necessary mix of professors with theoretical and industry experts.

So SP Jain offers many areas of development and helps you grow as a human.

CGC Landran is a reputed technological institute with an impressive placement record. It is especially good for Computer Science. If you are skilled and have a decent academic record, you can get good placement opportunities through the campus drive. CGC Landran placements highlights show the highest CTC offered is around INR 40 LPA. 

After a critical analysis of Sona College of Technology, my cousin analyzed the pattern followed by the engineering colleges all over India.

Here is what she has to say about her experience from her time as a student of that college:

• It is a private college and she strongly advises looking for other, better options.
• The faculty is inexperienced and the faculty is not in touch with what they are imparting.
• This college is not the right place for foreign students. The students come through counseling and most of them have never heard about IITs or the AIEEE and/or JEE exams. Their IQ is low.
• The college system is absolutely horrible. They do not care about your interests or goals.
• If you are a foreign student, then go for NITs and/or II(I)Ts. Or you can opt for studying in some country or stay back in your native country.
• Most of the teaching staff as well the non-teaching staff verbally abuses the students and more often than not in public.

Despite the college having a good reputation when it comes to providing opportunities, there are a lot of drawbacks.

The faculty demands to be ‘respected’. Some of the teachers pry into the personal lives of their students and use that against them. The staff uses unfair scrutiny while signing records and attendances. They unfairly judge the students and belittle them thus, denting their self-esteem. Partiality is rampant in this institute. No wonder my acquaintance had such a traumatic experience in college.

At IBS Hyderabad, you will experience a unique and transformative journey in your MBA education. This college is not bound by traditional discipline-based curriculum but instead provides you with the opportunity to develop your skills and become a better working professional. The journey can be divided into three phases: Realization, Launchpad, and Accomplishment.

During the first few months, you will have realizations about the challenges of college life, such as average quality food and poor facilities. However, you have the option to either complain about these issues or try to adjust and make the best of the situation. Choosing the latter will allow you to turn IBS Hyderabad into your second home, where you will build relationships with classmates and make your studies enjoyable.

In the third semester, after completing a summer internship, you will experience a completely different environment. The college challenges you to improve and perform better in all areas of your life. With competitive placements and classmates, you will push yourself to reach your full potential.

Finally, in the Accomplishment phase, you will achieve remarkable things and develop friendships that will last a lifetime. You will also be challenged to try new things, such as a stand-up act, which will help you grow as a person.

In conclusion, anyone can join IBS Hyderabad regardless of their background or scores. However, to fully take advantage of the opportunities available, it is important to be willing to work hard and change yourself. The college will give you what you contribute to it, so it is up to you to decide if IBS Hyderabad is worth your investment.

SIOM Nashik offers a different kind of campus life compared to other management schools. It is known for Operations Management. USP of SIOM is its syllabus and course content. You will get to learn in-depth about Operations. During the first year, the coursework may seem a bit overwhelming. But with time, you will start enjoying the learning process. SIOM also conducts many events and fun activities around the year.

According to the recent highlights of SIOM Nashik placements, around 100% of students get placed through the campus drive. The average CTC offered during the last campus placement was INR 11.77 LPA. 

Although there is still good scope for improvement in infrastructure, it is an excellent option for students interested in Operations Management.
