RS
Rishi Sharma Posted On : January 16th, 2023
Studied Sustainability & Management, Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (Graduated 2019)

Long-term survival is a key component of sustainability. Providing for the needs of the present generation without compromising those of future generations is what is meant by the phrase "sustainable development," which is also related. Sustainable management is a managerial approach to ensuring long-term viability and development.

IIM Lucknow is the first IIM to offer this course. It is available at the IIM Lucknow Noida Campus. Finance, marketing, strategy, economics, organizational behavior, ethics, and some subjects related to sustainability and CSR are included in the course (Corporate Social Responsibility). A 70:30 ratio roughly represents the distribution of general management and sustainability-related subjects.

Companies will need managers who are knowledgeable about sustainability for successful strategy and market leadership as a result of growing awareness regarding the environment, entitlements, climate change, rapidly changing energy mix, etc. Sustainable Management provides a great opportunity for talented individuals. The first batch's final placement as well as the second and third batches' summer placements were all in consulting firms, development organizations, infrastructure, automotive, heavy engineering, and renewable energy.

Which one is the best: an M.Sc in Applied Psychology from Annamalai University’s distance education or an M.A in Applied Psychology from Chandigarh University’s distance education?

NT
Niraj Thakur Posted On : November 19th, 2022
Ph D in Psychology & Organizational Behavior, Periyar University (Graduated 2019)

It will be difficult to choose between Annamalai University and Chandigarh University, just as it is difficult to choose where to study when there are so many options. I recommend that you look into Chandigarh University's distance learning program. Chandigarh University's distance education department is relatively new, but it is very promising.

The Institute of Distance & Online Learning at Chandigarh University is UGC-DEB accredited, making it an approved distance learning program. Moving on, the facilities and support in distance programs are very helpful and student-friendly. First and foremost, you will receive all study materials and have free access to their online content, which includes videos, e-courses, SLM, and quizzes. Aside from multimedia and course materials, the CU LMS (Learning Management System for distance learners) includes features such as rubrics, teacher and instructor-facilitated learning, a discussion board, a course tracker, download and submit assignments, interact with faculty, and a virtual programming environment and e-library.

Furthermore, despite being a distance learner, you will be able to visit the campus, participate in numerous workshops and seminars, and gain first-hand experience with industry tools. With a curriculum that meets international and industry standards, you will also have access to the university's placement drive, which means you can even be placed via distance education.

What should I choose between CSD at IIIT Delhi and IT at DTU?

SK
Sanjana Kapoor Posted On : October 9th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

CSD and IT have practically the same core subjects. You’ll have a similar curriculum in either of the options. Unless you have a strong interest in the design aspect of CSD, the choice is mainly between the two colleges.

IIITD is very research-oriented. It has state-of-the-art research labs and facilities. You’ll be exposed to dedicated and active research groups over there. Academics are taken quite seriously. You’ll study your subjects in depth for the next 4-5 years. 

At DTU on the other hand, academics are very laid back. You’ll get lots of time for extracurriculars. You can polish your skills in the area of your interest. 

If you are sure to build a future in Computer Science, join IIIT Delhi. But if you wish to explore yourself, and polish your skills in some other field, join DTU.

Which is better, IIT Kharagpur aerospace or IIT Dharwad CSE?

AS
Atul Sharma Posted On : March 28th, 2023
Works at Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IIT KGP)

The choice of both branch and institute depends a lot on factors like your career prospects and areas of interest. However, since you haven't decided on a branch yet, I will assume you aren't yet sure of a branch and are open to exploring more branches. Don't worry, as most students clearing JEE Advanced face a similar situation. Personally, I will recommend you to go for IIT KGP over ISM Dhanbad because of 2 strong reasons
IIT KGP gives you the chance to explore and identify your area of interest. Even if you go for coding and later realize you don't like it, you can always go for non-core jobs that are in abundance at IIT KGP. But in the case of Dhanbad, you will have to stick to coding irrespective of your career inclinations. This is a major factor as it is your passion that determines your success rate.
IIT KGP has a more diverse group of individuals that are literal geniuses. Even if you are an above-average student you will face tough competition and thus will always strive to excel and grow. Dhanbad has an average-quality peer group and thus your growth might be restricted there.
I can only guide you to make a good decision, the final authority lies with you.

Which course is the best? IIM Indore's IPM, BFIA / BMS at SSCBS, DU; BSc Fin. at NMIMS or BBA at Christ?

AS
Anusha Soni Posted On : January 4th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Indore (Graduated 2021)

In my opinion, the best course among these is IPM. Some might even think I am a little biased towards this course but in reality once you learn the advantages of this program you will change your mind.

The Programme consists of 15 terms spread over a period of 5 years, with each year having 3 terms of 3 months. The subjects of the initial 3 years focus on the foundation and the last 2 years have core subjects that focus on Management.

  • The programme is designed by renowned experts.
  • IIM-I tag
  • Amazing infrastructure
  • Excellent faculty 
  • Extensive network of alumnis
  • Peers from diverse backgrounds (The last 2 years are along with PGP students )
  • Great placement opportunities 
  • Wide range of co-curricular activities

Cons :

  • Programme is new so recruiters and big companies don’t trust it much
  • It experiences bias when compared to the old PGP model.
  • In case one doesn't like the programme, you can not change the stream again.
  • IPM offers very limited scope
  • No specialization 
  • Freshers are not much preferred in comparison to experienced placements.
  • High fees

Still if you are not convinced that IPM is the best alone the courses you mentioned, the order for the other courses is

SSCBS> NMIMS> Christ

The only advantage the other courses have over IPM is that their model is tried and tested and open to lesser risks. Hence the scope is not that much limited.

The five-year IIM Indore IPM degree combines undergraduate and postgraduate management courses. Students who want to start their management career after 12th grade should take this course.

The BMS programme at Xavier College Mumbai may be preferable for you if you desire a more conventional undergraduate education and then management.
