How does ISB Compares to IIM Calcutta? Provided a candidate is looking for Operations/General Management Roles post MBA.
The MBA course from ISB or the Indian School of Business specializes in offering Operations and General Management roles. My cousin is from the same B School. She has listed down some reputed companies that offer you Operations and General Management roles.
- Amazon
- Flipkart
- Uber
- Myntra
- ABG
Apart from these specialty roles are also offered by big firms like Apple and Fung group. Many start-ups offer good packages in Operation and General Management roles. But IIM Calcutta is nowhere behind in this aspect. Both offer equally good roles.
Which is better, mechanical engineering from NIT Silchar, NIT Patna or NIT Goa regarding placements?
Having some friends studying in these institutes, I can say that as per what they mentioned, NIT Patna arrives with a better placement rate than the other two counterparts.
- In a nutshell, there are multiple core companies that visit the campus during the placement drive.
- These include major firms like Alston transport, L&T HED, L&T Constructions, Thermal, Havells, TATA Motors and many others.
- Other than these few, various other students secure placement offers in companies belonging to the IT sector and the Consultancy services.
| Categories | Mechanical at NIT Silchar | Mechanical at NIT Patna | Mechanical at NIT Goa |
| Course Fee | 5.42 lakh | 5.70 lakh | 5.38 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 21 LPA | 12-14 LPA | 11 LPA |
| Average CTC | 7.25 LPA | 6-7 LPA | 6 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Wipro, TCS, Infosys, L&T, etc. | GE, L&T, Tata Motors, Alston, etc. | Bosch, Capgemini, HP, IBM, etc. |
But, apart from the factors mentioned above, NIT Silchar is several steps ahead because it has established one of the best campuses, unlike many. That is the only brownie point NIT Silchar enjoys. It is best if you still research vividly about the prospects implanted in either institutes, and see what suits you best.
Which institute be selected for admission IIFT Delhi campus, IIM Trichy, IIM Udaipur, IIM Ranchi, MDI international Management?
If you are looking just for a brand name and high ROI, then your options are
- IIM Udaipur
- IIM Trichy
- IIM Ranchi
If you are looking for legacy, established alumni, and faculty with decades of experience within the same institute, your options are
- IIFT Delhi campus
- MDI
Now let me further elaborate on the last 2 colleges.
IIFT: This institute is a good option for people who wish to get into International business. I can any day prefer IIFT over the new IIMs.
MDI: MDI specializes in Marketing so anyone interested in this sector can go for MDI.
So it eventually depends on you and the specialization you want.
Is honours in maths necessary for admission in the MSC (financial mathematics) from MSU Baroda?
Yes, in fact Bachelors is necessary for any Masters course. So in order to get admission in MSc Financial Mathematics, you will have to complete Bachelors in Financial Mathematics first.
Now coming to your question, Honors in Margs is necessary for admission in MSc Financial Mathematics, I don't think so because I have many friends who are pursuing MSc in Financial Mathematics despites graduating from universities that don’t even offer Honors in Maths. I think all you need is a graduation in Maths.
For detailed information look up on the official website of MSU or contact an alumni.
Which course is better...mechanical engineering dual degree at IIEST Shibpur or 4 years degree mechanical engineering degree at NIT DURGAPUR?
When you complete a course of four years normally, you complete your graduation with the fundamentals of your branch which allows you to pursue higher studies if they are in your interests. It also gives you the option, at the same time, to complete your undergraduate degree in another subject if you wish to.
If you want to pursue a dual course, it can probably put a dent in your freedom to pursue your interests and you will be ‘rewarded’ with the master’s degree. Another problem after receiving the master’s degree would be the confusion about looking for a job, pursuing a doctorate in the field of your interest(s).
The dual degree in mechanical will demand more dedication from you but the four-year degrees are easier compared to those. Mechanical engineering is a good option if going for higher studies is in your interests.
