Which is better, bootcamp or an MBA from new IIM (Udaipur, Trichy) to switch to data analytics? I have a 3 years work experience as a QA engineer.?

I will give you an insight into both the options you mentioned, i.eMBA from IIM or Bootcamp. 

Bootcamp: If you are very passionate about Data Analytics then Bootcamp is the best option for you. I deem this course better than an MBA from B School as a B School covers various arenas of Management while Bootcamp solely focuses on what you are looking for. Moreover, you will end up paying hefty fees and will have to pay loans for years. It provided a detailed approach to Data Analytics and you don’t have to study irrelevant topics

B School: B schools like the new IIMs are good for people who are not certain of their career interests. In that case, B-school would teach you much more than Data Analytics, and then you can pursue the field you excel in or are most passionate about. The excellent pedagogy of IIMs enables you to inculcate skills like handling a project, building a workforce, execution, etc. Basically, you are groomed on an overall basis and get industry exposure as well.

I have seen many people pursuing MBA and also online courses that offer Certification in Data Analytics specifically. So that is also a viable option for you.

Which will be a better choice, 5 year MTech in IIT Bhubaneswar or 4 year chemical in IIT Hyderabad or aerospace in IIST?

NR
Nikhil Raj Posted On : August 14th, 2020

M.Tech from IIT Bhubaneswar makes sense only if you are willing to study more on research-based topics of the subject. It is best if one is looking for a career in Teaching, Researching, etc. to further gain knowledge about the subject and not work in MNCs.

IIT Hyderabad ranks 8th in the Engineering category by NIRF 2020. The number of students who got placed from the Chemical Engineering department in the 2019 placements was 26. The average salary package offered to students with Chemical Engineering is 15 lakhs per annum.

IIST is a space institute under the Department of Space. The students from IIST are recruited as scientists and engineers in the Department of Space facilities and Indian Space Research Organization centers all over India. They receive a starting salary of 10 lakhs per annum. Facilities like Infrastructure, Library, sports facilities, Computer labs, clinics, Data centers in IIST are much better and well equipped than the IITs.

Thus it is your choice to opt for what course you are interested in.

What is going to be a better option among the following B schools - VGSOM, new IIMs (Ranchi, Trichy, Raipur), or NMIMS?

RT
Rajat Tokas Posted On : February 8th, 2023
Xaviers || NIT DURGAPUR || L&T || MDI gurgaon(2020-2022)

When it comes to choosing a business school, the competition is fierce and the options can be overwhelming. Three institutes that are considered to be among the top in the country are the Vinod Gupta School of Management (VGSOM) at IIT Kharagpur, the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ranchi, and the Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS).

If you are interested in an operations profile, then VGSOM is a great choice. It is considered to be one of the best institutes in the country for operations specialization, after NITIE. Additionally, the return on investment (ROI) is high. IIM Ranchi, on the other hand, may have a lower average package compared to the other two institutes, but it has the prestige of the IIM tag and a decent profile. The hostels are also fabulous, with single rooms available for students.

NMIMS is considered to be more costly and the batch strength is over 500 students. The top 150-200 students get superb packages and roles that are at par with other top B-schools, however, the next lot of students may have a lot of start-ups, etc. If you want to play safe, VGSOM or IIM Ranchi might be the best option.

However, if you are willing to take a risk, NMIMS might be a good choice as the profiles there are really good. It's ultimately up to you to decide which institute aligns best with your career goals and objectives. Rest assured, whichever institute you choose, you will be choosing a great institution as all three are among the top institutes in the country.

What should i choose RGIPT IDD in CSE and AI or IISER BHOPAL Engineering Science??

NT
Nivedita Trivedi Posted On : July 31st, 2023
Lives in Bhopal

RGIPT IDD is a relatively new institute in comparison to IISER Bhopal which is more established. RGIPT IDD has gained popularity because of its quality of education. 

  • The RGIPT curriculum focuses on cutting-edge fields like artificial intelligence and machine learning whereas the IISER Bhopal curriculum gives students a broad foundation in the natural sciences.
  • RGIPT has strong industry ties, so its graduates receive great job opportunities after graduation. at the same time, most IISER students pursue a Ph.D. or a career in research.
  • IISER Bhopal is older than RGIPT and hence more established.

Ultimately, the ‘better’ institute for you depends on your own interests and goals. If you are willing to pursue a career in applied fields such as artificial intelligence or machine learning, then RGIPT IDD is great for you but if you want a career in research or academia, then IISER Bhopal may be a better choice.

Which is better, civil engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar or chemical engineering at BITS Hyderabad??

Muskan Agrahari Posted On : June 24th, 2025

Both choices are good, but it will depend on your priorities — branch interest, campus life, or brand value. Here is a condensed comparison to guide your decision:

Quick Comparison: IIT Bhubaneswar (Civil) vs BITS Hyderabad (Chemical)

Category IIT Bhubaneswar (Civil) BITS Hyderabad (Chemical)
Institute Type Govt. (IIT), NIRF Rank 47 Private (BITS Pilani campus), well-ranked
Admissions JEE Advanced BITSAT
Avg. Package 12–13.6 LPA (Civil avg. slightly lower) 10–13 LPA (Chemical)
Placement Rate ~68% (Civil) ~80–90% (Chemical)
Highest Package 64 LPA (IITBBS overall) 30–40 LPA (BITS Hyd overall, rare)
Academics Traditional IIT model Flexible curriculum, dual degree options
Campus Life Growing student life, IIT tag Very vibrant, student-run fests & freedom
Brand Value IIT system legacy Strong BITS industry reputation

Both of these colleges provide good education and placements, but IIT Bhubaneswar provides you with the IIT label and main civil exposure, while BITS Hyderabad provides a free-flowing, student-oriented experience with good placement support in and outside chemical engineering. Decide according to what suits your long-term interests and learning pace.

Which has better placements, IIT (BHU) Electrical or IIT (BHU) Electronics??

VB
Vinima Bhola Posted On : June 23rd, 2025

Electrical Engineering at IIT (BHU) has a well-documented and strong placement record, with high placement rates (81–86%) and top packages reaching up to ?1.68 crore per annum (in B.Tech overall, with Electrical also benefitting from high offers).

The Max CTC for Electronics Engineering is ?50 LPA for 2024–2025, which is less than the highest mentioned for Electrical. However, placement details for Electronics Engineering are less commonly recorded. This might, however, represent a single offer or a particular position rather than the branch's highest or average overall.

Both branches are highly sought after and have strong industry connections, but Electrical Engineering currently has more publicly available and impressive placement statistics.
