What is the difference between the advanced construction management and project management course offered by NICMAR, Pune? What is the difference between the work profile?
There is a clear demarcation between the both. Project management is basically preparing a student for the project industry whereas advanced construction management is related to construction projects.
- At NICMAR, the first year of both the courses are the same as any other general management.
- But from next year you get the projects according to your subjects like PEM students get the project industry experience in the oil or gas industry whereas ACM students get exposure to the construction projects.
- For both the courses there is a perfect mix of faculty internally as well as some renowned professionals from outside, so that students can learn every aspect of their course.
- Considering the profile, it totally depends upon your interest but mostly it has been seen that the civil engineers opt for ACM while mechanical or electrical engineers opt for PEM.
- Though it is not mandatory, it totally depends upon the choice of an individual.
Lastly, we can say that there is a clear difference between the two courses, so search for the same before taking admission in any of the fields.
Which branch should I choose among IIT Delhi Chemical, IIT Delhi Biotechnology, IIT Bombay Aerospace, IIT Roorkee Electrical, IIT Roorkee Electronics?
I am a second-year student of Aerospace Engineering at IIT Bombay. I think you should opt for Aerospace Engineering at our institution. You should especially choose this branch if the area of research interests you as it is a research-focused department.
The Aerospace Engineering branch of IIT Bombay consistently performs well in placements. The highest package in 2023 was INR 1.68 CPA, while the median package was INR 19.63 LPA for B.Tech Aerospace Engineering students of IIT Bombay.
Some of the prominent recruiters from the department are- Rolls Royce, Boeing India, Akasa Air, Airbus, etc. After graduation, you can work in aircraft design, or as a technical officer, or in some other related field.
Here are some details of the Aerospace branch at IIT Bombay:

Which college is the best for a B.Com, Maitreyi, Kamala Nehru, Motilal Nehru, or Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma??
Among the colleges mentioned above, Maitreyi College is the best option for pursuing a B.Com degree. However, it is a girl's college. The infrastructure of the college is quite good. The campus offers a decent learning environment. The area surrounding Maitrayi is neat and clean with many embassies.
Which is best option, the executive program in sales and marketing at IIM Calcutta or the postgraduate certification in business management at XLRI, Jamshedpur?
Only the full-time PGP courses of IIM Calcutta or XLRI are valuable. All other degrees/certificates are the only means of earning money by the institutes.
-
They have no real value in real life or the corporate world.
-
They won’t be very useful if you want to learn.
-
They add no value to your CV
-
You will not be considered alumni of the institute
So these certificate courses/ part-time programs/ Executive programs carry no real value at all. Most people are misled to believe that they might add value to their CV.
Which is better in terms of the syllabus, placements and college life: NSIT in ECE vs BIT Mesra in CSE?
My friend did his B.Tech ECE from NSIT. According to him, NSIT ECE is a better choice than BIT Mesra CSE. Here are the reasons for his preference for NSIT ECE-
- Location- NSIT graduates have greater access to major industries due to its closeness to cities like Noida and Gurugram. For CAT, GRE, GMAT, etc., Delhi has a good coaching center facility.
- Brand Value- The brand value of NSIT is greater than that of BIT Mesra.
- Faculty at NSIT - You will be taught by some of the best professors in the country at the NSIT ECE department. Their letter of recommendation will open numerous doors for you.
- Seniors at NSIT- The seniors at NSIT are very helpful. Some of your seniors working at top firms may even refer you for an internship/job interview.
- Classes are held regularly at NSIT- There is a 75% attendance criteria at NSIT. The teachers also come for the lectures regularly.
- Coding Culture at NSIT- The coding culture at NSIT is great and their coders make it to GSoC every year. Some of them are also ranked highly on sites like TopCoder and CodeChef.
- Placements- The placements at NSIT are better than BIT Mesra. ECE students from NSIT get placed in core electronics companies, tech, and non-tech firms. Some of these companies are- Texas Instruments, Airtel, KPMG, Bain, BCG, McKinsey, TCS, Maruti Suzuki, Expedia, Google, Uber, etc.
- The ECE course has been recently updated by NSIT as per the industry standards. You will get to choose among electives from the first year itself. The electives range from Finance to Sports.
- NSIT is the only Indian college to send delegations to the prestigious Harvard MUN.
Thus, I would suggest you choose NSIT ECE over BIT Mesra CSE.
Is CSE faculty at IIIT Hyderabad good?
My friend studies in IIIT-Sricity which shared some faculties with IIIT Hyderabad initially as it was under its mentorship.
Generally, you can find both good and bad professors here. But the bad here does not mean underqualified, but arrogant ones. By no means will you find a professor who is underqualified and their extensive knowledge is their biggest weapon. Some of them are as great as Prof Raj Reddy, a Turing award winner which is considered a Nobel Prize or Oscar for Computer Science. So you can get an idea of the level of faculties here.
In reality, most students at IIIT Hyderabad are dependent on peers or seniors more than their faculty. So you can stop bothering about the parity of the professors here.
How good is finance in IMT Ghaziabad? What are the placement opportunities? How is it compared to PGDM general?
IMT Ghaziabad is called the Mecca for Marketing. It’s well known for its specialization in Marketing, Sales, and Business Development based roles. I don't think it offers similar opportunities for finance as well. The placements are pretty good but getting internship offers is difficult for someone who is switching careers from IT to Finance.
So if you really want to pursue a career in Finance after your MBA from IMT Ghaziabad, you can try CFA, and FRM and have some past background in Finance
Which is the best for mechanical engineering, VIIT in Pune, VIT in Pune, or MIT Pune?
Among these, VIT Pune is the best option for Mechanical Engineering.
- VIT Pune Mechanical branch is more than 20 years old. So, it had better exposure. This helps in better industry recognition, tie-ups.
- VIT offers better placements for the Mechanical branch. It offers more core placements compared to VIIT and MIT. According to the VIT Pune Mechanical Engineering placements of the last few years, the average CTC for the branch is 5-6 LPA. VIIT shares campus placement with VIT. But few companies visiting the placement drive don’t allow VIIT students to sit for placement.
VIT, VIIT, and MIT three of these colleges are autonomous, and they update their curriculum regularly. So, you can expect similar academics from all three of these institutes.
How is the mechanical engineering department in IIEST, Shibpur as compared to departments like EE and ETC (placement and research-wise)?
IIEST, Shibpur formerly known as BESU is doing really well in all the departments. Whether it is about faculty or infrastructure it is growing steadily and gradually.
But as one wants to take a deeper look in comparing mechanical engineering, EE and ETC, let’s take a look on it:
- The research facility of the mechanical engineering department is quite decent and comparable with EE and ETC.
- It is even better at some aspects like it has research collaboration with some of the renowned foreign universities, some of the excellent facilities etc.
- When IIEST, Shibpur was known as BESU even then the mechanical engineering was considered to be the highest ranking department in one of these three departments.
- Also, one cannot forget to boast of tremendous alumni including a couple of directors of IITs.

- When it comes to placement, the mechanical engineering department has a decent placement record so far.
- ME and EE have almost equal numbers of core placements. And ETC has less core placements but the highest package is grabbed by ETC itself.
- The placement for mechanical engineering is really good though. Core companies such as Maruti Suzuki, CESC, Vedanta, coal India, Tata steel, Bridge and Roof, L&T, elegant marine services come on campus.
- So you can easily expect a very bright future of mechanical engineering graduates from IIEST SHIBPUR.
- After becoming an IIEST the placements have improved and after 5 years it will improve more.
- IIEST, Shibpur has always been known for its excellent core teachings. Also, it has one of the best and oldest labs in the country in EE and Mech which has been improved from time to time.
The college is very good for students interested in any of the three departments as mentioned. All the three mentioned departments are very good in IIEST. The thing that matters is your interest and will.
Which is better: H.B.Econ. from SRCC or IPM from IIM Indore?
SRCC is an established and well-known institution affiliated with the University of Delhi. The institution has a pretty good faculty and the curriculum being taught there is also considered to be of high standards. If you are planning to prepare a solid CV for your career, I would suggest that you opt for a course of your interest at SRCC.
These are just some views I gathered by interacting with students of these institutes.
- The curriculum followed at IPM has been mocked by several candidates because of its diversity. It does not include specific topics for a particular specialization.
- However, for the batch of 2016-21, a new curriculum has been introduced by the authorities which is more focussed on areas like Economics, Quantitative aptitude, Philosophy, Psychology, and Sociology.
- These areas are also considered to be the 5 pillars of management at the PGDM level by many individuals working in the field of business and management.
- The placement of the institution is also quite good with the average package approximately equal to the amount which usually gets offered to candidates studying at the Postgraduate level.
| Categories | Economics (Hons.) at SRCC | IPM at IIM Indore |
| Course Fee | 45,000 | 26 lakh |
| Course Duration | 3 years | 5 years |
| Highest CTC | 25 LPA | 28 LPA |
| Average CTC | 8-10 LPA | 15-18 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Deloitte, KPMG, EY, Amazon, etc. | ICICI Bank, American Express, Mindtree, HCL, etc. |
My brother was eligible for admission at SRCC but instead, he opted for IPM because it was favoring his interests, environment, and several other factors. You can too make a decision based on your interests and several other factors which you think are important for your career.
