Which program is better, PGP HRM at IIM Indore or PGPM at IIM Sambalpur?

SJ
Sidhharth Jain Posted On : January 12th, 2023
Director, T.I.M.E, Pune IIT, IIM Grad. 30 yrs INTL Corp exp

A specific program at one IIM cannot be compared to a general program at another IIM.

In any case, you shouldn't think about enrolling in a course at IIM Sambalpur. It is too recent and has no prior performance. Additionally, given its location, it won't even draw in top faculty. Instead of IIM Sambalpur, you would be much better off attending some high-quality non-IIM colleges.

The best institute for HR professionals is currently XLRI, followed by TISS, Mumbai. Considering that IIMI is one of the top IIMs and has a brand-new HR program, your learning and employment prospects are both promising. However, make sure you enjoy HR. It is practically impossible to later switch out of HR once you are in it.

Which is better: IT at IIIT Allahabad or CSE at BIT Mesra?

AA
Aarti Ahuja Posted On : August 17th, 2023
Lives in Allahabad

One of my friends chose CSE at BIT Mesra over IT at IIIT Allahabad. However, he regretted his decision and after a month, got admission into IIIT Allahabad IT through the CSAB spot round.

BIT Mesra has a huge campus, however, its student intake is much higher as compared to IIIT Allahabad. Even in terms of location, Allahabad is a better choice than Mesra. 

In terms of placements, the average package for BIT CSE stood at INR 19.27 LPA 2022. At IIIT Allahabad, the average package for B.Tech stood at INR 30.68 LPA during the same year. 

The course fee is also much more affordable at IIIT Allahabad. The total course fee for B.Tech IT from IIIT Allahabad is INR 8,44,700, while at BIT, the B.Tech CSE course fee is INR 13,04,500 (does not include the hostel fees at both).

Thus, I would suggest you choose IT at IIIT Allahabad over CSE at BIT Mesra.

What should I choose between IIT Mandi Civil and DTU CSE?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : May 23rd, 2023
lives in New Delhi

My sister too had to choose between IIT Mandi and another institute but chose IIT Mandi mainly because of its highly lenient branch change policy.

Placement-wise too, IIT Mandi gives an edge to DTU and NSIT. Here is a head-on comparison between the placement statistics of IIT Mandi and DTU.

Particulars 

DTU

IIT Mandi

Highest CTC 

INR 1.8 ???

INR 60 LPA

Average CTC 

INR 15.16 LPA

INR 25.23 LPA

Top Recruiters 

Amazon, Palantir, Adobe

Flipkart, 1mg, Microsoft, Uber,

Amazon, Walmart

While the highest CTC of DTU might seem higher, it’s the average package that actually determines the placement scenario of an institute. Considering that IIT Mandi is better than DTU. In fact, Electrical in IIT Mandi is even then DTU. Secondly, DTU’s increasing batch size is another major concern these days. I personally think DTU is overhyped because of its NCR location. Considering the fact that Delhiites get a quota of 80% you can infer how diluted the talent pool of DTU is.

Which is good for fire and safety engineering, NFSC Nagpur or CUSAT?

VK
Vivek Kumar Posted On : February 12th, 2021
Studied Fire Safety Engineering, National Fire Service College, Nagpur (2020)

Both the institutes are government institutes and provide best in class education when it comes to Fire and safety engineering. They offer good placement opportunities in government and private organizations with good packages. However, NFSC Nagpur might be the choice to go due to the following reasons.

CUSAT:

Let’s discuss CUSAT first. 

  • The institute offers both fire and safety which includes more topics related to engineering courses which are very useful from a placements perspective. 
  • CUSAT is both AICTE and NBA accredited so has a good curriculum.
  • One of the downsides is that in CUSAT fire drills do not take place regularly which is required by some companies during the placement process.
  • Even though it is a very famous college in South India and has a good placement record, the infrastructure is a bit old compared to NFSC Nagpur.
  • The competition here for the Fire and Safety course is more and you need to have a good rank in the CUSATCAT.

NFSC Nagpur:

  • NFSC Nagpur has a course curriculum that is in line with the world’s top institutes with more focus given to physical standards and course syllabus.
  • The institute focuses more on the fire drill process and physical fitness along with the academic part.
  • It is a central government institute and provides the best placements for its students. The institute's alumni hold top positions in top fire organizations in India. The value of fire engineering here matches the IIT tag when it comes to fire engineering.
  • It is very much necessary to have proper time management to align yourself with daily routines. All the hard work you put in will be reaped as many top companies including PSU’s come for recruitment here.
  • BE in Fire course is a newly added one in this institute and competition is a bit less. The first few batches have passed with flying colors and have good placement records with the average package being around 10 LPA.

Considering all the facts above it is safe to say that NFSC Nagpur is the best option of the two. It is a central Govt. college under the Ministry of Home Affairs and has a rich alumni network in major public and private organizations.

Does IGNOU notes on BA and MA public administration help for optional public administration in the UPSC?

C
Chetan Posted On : November 2nd, 2022
BA in Economics and Mathematics from Indira Gandhi National Open university (IGNOU) (Graduated 2022)

Yes, IGNOU notes on BA and MA public administration are surely helpful for optional public h administration in the UPSC. This is because IGNOU study material is prepared by experienced professionals. They are PhD degree holders.

There are many candidates who have passed UPSC alongside pursuing a PG course from IGNOU. They give the rightful credit to IGNOU for passing the UPSC. Times of India has interviewed many such candidates of IGNOU who have claimed the study material from the university to be their best friend.

IGNOUs study material has been designed to facilitate self study. This is why it is easier than other course material. Also, the quality is top notch. It is available at your study centre for a fairly low price.

What should be preference order of IMT Ghaziabad courses- PGDM, PGDM marketing, PGDM finance, PGDM DCP, PGDM banking, insurance and financial services?

DC
Dhruv Chatterjee Posted On : January 25th, 2023
PGDM from Institute of Management Technology, Ghaziabad (Graduated 2022)

IMT Ghaziabad offers a variety of courses that cater to various specializations. These courses have been listed and explained in their order of preference

  • PGDM Marketing/PGDM Full Time (Marketing): This is the most coveted program among IMT students mainly because today its alumni have acquired top positions in big firms. Other major reasons include top-notch faculty, great internship and placement opportunities in terms of role and CTC, IMT’s eligibility, and excellent performances in recognized marketing and strategy B Schools competitions.
  • PGDM Finance/PGDM Full Time (Finance): This one is most suitable for aspirants who are interested in Finance. However, this program offers lesser opportunities than the Marketing program in terms of role and CTC. 
  • PGDM Full Time (Operations): This program offers opportunities similar to that of Finance. But the batch size of PGDM Operations is smaller than PGDM Finance, so it may be easier to secure an internship/final placement, but the opportunities come less compared to Finance.
  • PGDM DCP: DCP or the Dual Country Program is for those who are keen to get international exposure. Compared to an MBA from a foreign university, this program is cheaper and yet offers an opportunity to explore a different culture and learn to make decisions in an international context. This is best suitable for those who are in the Marketing domain.
  • PGDM Banking and Financial Services (PGDM-BFS): This program was launched in 2019 and is relatively newer. It targets the core Banking and Finance sector. While the MBA program aims to provide a holistic view of management, this program solely focuses on Banking and Finance.
  • PGDM Full Time (HR): This is the least taken course and offers very less in terms of opportunities.

The courses have been arranged preference-wise so will make it easy for you to choose one.

Which is better between IIT Patna and Jadavpur University for an equivalent branch?

SR
Sushmita Rajput Posted On : June 22nd, 2023
Lives in Patna

I have seen many students prefer JU to new IITs because of the experience and legacy it holds in contrast to recently established IITs. None of these students regret their decision of choosing JU over IIT. 

JU has the upper hand in terms of both placements and the quality of research work here. In fact, top NITs, BITS, JU, DTU, NSIT, IIITs, and such institutes are all better options than most of the newer IITs. These institutes have good credibility owing to their strong alumni network thus providing better opportunities. Those who prefer to stay on the safe side give more preference to these institutes than newer IITs.

The new IITs are expected to reach heights in the future and only then will you be able to benefit from their IIT tag. As of now, they lack credibility and opportunities. 

Ultimately, it’s your call to make because you can even avail the best opportunities through minimal resources.

Shruti Dasgupta Posted On : August 9th, 2022
B.Tech in Computer Science, SRM University, Kattankulathur

SRM placements in 2022 witnessed the highest CTC of INR 1 CPA. The institute offers decent exposure. The networking opportunities are ample. Here is an honest review of the SRM University
