Which course in TAPMI is better, the core PGDM, the HRM, or BKFS?

DK
Divya Kaur Posted On : May 2nd, 2023
Studied PGDM from T. A. Pai Management Institute (2011)

What's most important is that you enjoy it. The BKFS program is highly specialized and designed to equip students with the tools necessary to succeed in any financial-related field.

The PGDM's first year emphasizes variety over specialization. Two years into the program, you'll have the option to focus on either Marketing, Operations, or Finance. It's up to you to determine the kind of career you want to have. Everything in the new system will be up to the individual, replacing both the major and minor systems. Although the HR course is brand new, it will be just as rigorous and cover the same ground as other courses.

Is there any bias against IPM students during placements in IIM Indore? Are they considered equal to PGP students?

A
Aman Posted On : January 2nd, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Indore (Graduated 2018)

Yes, there indeed is a certain level of bias that IPM students face during the placement process. But the reason is well justified. Being a newly established course, IPM lacks the certainty of success. The industries are only gradually developing their trust towards this course over the years. So the recruiters are still a bit hesitant in investing in an IPM student.

But if you look at the figures, you can see that the course has been gaining trust and climbing the ladder drastically over the past few years. Also, I don’t think it’s justifiable to draw a comparison between a 7-year-old program that has already been recognized (PGP) to a newly established course (IPM).

People usually compare these 2 programs because they see IPM as a means to join IIM by escaping CAT. This is not the case at all. IPM is much more than that. It needs no comparison to any other program. It is a full-fledged integrated course that is way ahead of other undergrad or integrated courses across the nation both in terms of the kind of education it offers and the placements.

Average placements at IIIT Bangalore stands at around 24lpa, is it worth leaving top NITs for an Mtech CSE at IIIT Bangalore?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : October 9th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

IIIT Bangalore is at par with top NITs at least in terms of placement scenario of its MTech CSE course. But the question is, are good placements enough to choose a college? Here are a few factors to consider while choosing between top NITs and IIIT Bangalore.

  • Faculty: IIIT Bangalore has a much more qualified and learned faculty pool than top NITs and offers core CSE education in India. Most professors are Ph.D. holders from foreign universities and are at par with the top 7 IITs. 
  • Labs: IIIT Bangalore has much better labs and resources whereas NITs obsolete equipment and lab facilities.
  • Curriculum: IIIT Bangalore has a CS-tailored class which is updated frequently to meet industry trends while NITs don't. 
  • Brand: IIIT Bangalore has a better brand name mainly because it is known for its master's and doctorate level education in computer science and engineering. 
  • Placements: IIIT Bangalore has an excellent placement scenario owing to its focus on Masters and PhD education. Many top firms that prefer specialized graduates in diverse CSE streams visit the campus for placements.

I feel the primary point of difference between NITs and IIIT Bangalore is that NITs mostly focus on placements at the undergraduate level. IIIT Bangalore's main focus has been providing quality education at the master's and doctorate levels. Still, to answer your question, IIIT Bangalore is better than top NITs in almost all aspects.

Which college is better for computer science engineering: VIT, Pune or PICT? Which of these colleges promote extra-curricular activities the most?

AG

PICT is the best option for CSE in Pune followed by VIT Pune. The faculty pool of PICT stands apart from other colleges making it the dream college of many. I once visited a technical project exhibition in PICT and fell in love with the innovative environment of the college.

The cutoffs are usually high for PICT and it accepts only the best crowd. So you will get an amazing experience if you choose PICT over VIT.

VK
Vishal Kumar, Posted On : November 3rd, 2021
M.Tech Information and Technology & Electronics and Communication Engineering, REVA University (2017)

One of my friends studied at REVA University. According to him, CSE here is really good and has a great reputation. Here are some facts about it.

  • The academic curriculum is really good and updated to match modern standards.
  • The faculty is very helpful and cooperative.
  • They groom you to become industry-ready. 
  • Hostels are clean and well furnished. They are also provided with facilities like Wifi, Gym, laundry, etc.
  • Placements are also good. Several top MNCs like TCS, Wipro, Tech Mahindra participate in the placement program.
Categories CSE at REVA University
Course Fee 15.80 lakh
Placement Percentage 80-90%
Highest CTC 25 LPA
Average CTC 3.5-4 LPA

The student intake here is very high. They take around 3500-4000 students per year in B.Tech which in other colleges is 900 students.

If you are joining here through COMED-K or through management quota, then look for other options, as the money you will invest in it will not be worthy.

Which branch is better, IIT Kanpur statistics and data science (B.Sc) or IIT Dhanbad CSE?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : October 12th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Both the courses are good. 

However, with the advancement of technologies like AI and ML, and one’s increasing dependency upon them, Data Science has become a field with immense potential. 

Data Science has a lot of future scope, and its demand will only increase with time. This field requires a good understanding of Statistics, Mathematics, and Computer Science (Especially Python Language). 

BSc. in Data Science is an even better option than CSE at present. Moreover, college-wise, IIT Kanpur is way ahead of IIT Dhanbad. 

Therefore I would recommend you choose BSc. Statistics and Data Science at IIT Kanpur over CSE at IIT Dhanbad.

How is life at IMT Ghaziabad and scopes after MBA in marketing?

SG
Saurabh Gupta Posted On : January 27th, 2023
Studied at Universal Business School

The general campus life at IMT Ghaziabad is pretty hectic for first-year students. Right after you join, the Personality Development Program is conducted by the seniors. After this, the committee selection process begins. College life is extremely rigorous and includes fest management, mess, seniors placements, and internships. You have to manage and prioritize all such activities altogether. You learn to manage your time, face tight deadlines, and maintain your emotional stability throughout.

Some other aspects of life at IMT Ghaziabad are

  • Placements: IMT Ghaziabad placements are known to be the best in the Marketing sector. While many think that only freshers or people with less experience can get Marketing roles, it’s not true. It completely depends on the company offering the role. IMT provides you with lots of opportunities in sales and a few roles in core marketing, media & advertising, and digital marketing. IMT Ghaziabad is the best to kickstart a career in Marketing as it offers the best opportunities and has a strong alumni network.
  • Fees: IMT Ghaziabad fee structure for PGDM, PGDM Marketing, PGDM Banking, and Financial Services and PGDM Finance is INR 19.38 lakhs.
  • Hostel: IMT Ghaziabad has two hostels, one inside the campus and the other CDL, 4 km by walking distance. You can choose to stay at either during the first year but in the second year, you have to stay at the on-campus hostel only. CDL has much more freedom and better amenities like Air Conditioned rooms.
  • Food: IMT Ghaziabad’s mess food is managed by the mess committee which is run by the students themselves. The quality of food is good but once in a while students get bored and ask for a change of the menu. The CDL students can come to the campus mess for the food.
  • Prospects: Today the corporate world requires more from MBA graduates rather than specialization in certain fields. IT and Services are doing fairly well and are expected to do so in the future without much change. Analytics is in great demand and will continue to be in demand for at least 5-7 years 

The Indian market has been witnessing an increase in demand for jobs where MBA graduates have a great variety to choose from.

Is it good to join IBS Hyderabad or Siva Sivani Institute of Management, Hyderabad for doing an MBA

Dr
Dugyala rishitha Posted On : February 17th, 2023

SSIM is one of the premier B-schools in Hyderabad, which has over 30+ years of legacy and 5000+ alumni. Currently, I am in my 2nd year of the PGDM TPS program. SSIM helped me to become a corporate-ready individual by the end of 1st year itself which helped me to qualify for an internship at Deloitte and receive a Pre-placement Offer (PPO) just after the completion of my 1st year of PGDM.

SSIM Curriculum includes managerial competency development courses such as Experiential Learning, Book review sessions, Social projects, and Company Review Sessions to name a few. In our Experiential Learning Project during Term 1 we visited a manufacturing company. This was my first exposure to a corporate which helped me to understand how corporates function, get acquainted with the corporate culture, allocation and optimum utilization of resources, and most importantly corporates’ expectations of management graduates.

SSIM will nurture and groom students for long-term professional careers along with the vision of making socially responsible business leaders. Wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Which is better, IGDTUW CSE or NIT Calicut CSE?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : August 21st, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

I have a cousin who is currently working as a senior software engineer at Walmart. He is anex-student of IGDTUW. This alone negates all the claims of people stating IGDTUW is a below-average institute with poor infrastructure and zero placement opportunities. In fact, the first job he landed with campus placements was at Adobe. His juniors got placed in better companies like Google, Facebook, etc which speaks of the improving placement scenario.

Here is a comparative analysis of the placement scenario of these institutes 

Particulars

IGDTUW BTech CSE

NIT Calicut BTech CSE

Batch Strength

156

148

Students Placed

98

148

Highest CTC

INR 55 LPA

67.62 LPA

Average CTC

-

20.54 LPA

Its true that NIT Calicut may have an upper hand in terms of infrastructure, but in the long run, that does not really matter. A college can give you the wings to fly and it's on you how high you rise. Moreover, being a girl, you will have better opportunities in a girl's college like IGDTUW.

Yes, you will have to make small sacrifices like moving away from your home and adjusting to minimal facilities but in the end, it will be worth it!
