How would you compare MBA offers in Europe vs those in India? Which will be a better option in terms of career progression? Consider INSEAD vs IIM-Bangalore / EDHEC vs SPJIMR etc.

AG

When comparing MBA offers in Europe and India, you should consider the business school’s repute, international exposure, professional advancement, cost, and location. INSEAD is a top-10 business school with unrivaled international exposure. It is far more esteemed than the IIMs and should be the first MBA choice if cost and living expenses are not an issue.

However, it is generally advisable to study for an MBA in the place where one wants to work or settle. If someone wants to work or settle in Europe, then doing an MBA from a top European business school is recommended. On the other hand, if someone is interested in working in India and the cost is an issue, then IIM Bangalore (IIM-B) is a great option. IIM-B offers easy loans and scholarships and is recognized by almost all top recruiters in India. Therefore, IIM-B is a good choice for Indian students who want to pursue an MBA.

SPJIMR is also a good option, but if someone wants to start a business in India and their primary client base is local, then IIM-B is a much better option than INSEAD.

What should I choose between BIMTECH and NIT Durgapur for an MBA?

SA
Sakshi Ahuja Posted On : April 18th, 2023
PGDM Full Time, graduated in 2019

Disregarding the fees, BIMTECH is better than NIT Durgapur for pursuing an MBA degree because of its infrastructure that’s been specifically tailored for MBA students. NIT Durgapur, on the other hand, being a technical institute, has many graduate students but not the same kind of specialized infrastructure. 

In terms of location, BIMTECH is located in the NCR, which may provide more internship and job opportunities. Additionally, companies and guests who visit BIMTECH are specifically looking to meet with management students, which is not there in NIT.

Which college should I choose, IIIT Guwahati (CSE stream) or BITS Hyderabad (electronics and electrical stream)?

SG
Sudipta Ghose Posted On : June 23rd, 2021
B.Tech. Metallurgical Engineering, NIT Raipur, National Institute of Technology, Raipur (2019)

Among BITS Hyderabad and IIIT Guwahati, EEE at BITS Hyderabad is the better option, considering the excellent placement scenario of the institute. Here are some of the advantages of joining BITS Hyderabad

  • The environment inside the campus of BITS Hyderabad is very good.
  • Placement in BITS Hyderabad is much better than IIIT Guwahati. Being in Hyderabad, the institute has a lot of location advantages which further aids in placement. Sometimes, the placements in BITS Hyderabad are even compared to that of IITs.

Here is a brief overview of the recent placement statistics at both institutes.

Institute

BITS Hyderabad

IIIT Guwahati

Average CTC

5 LPA

10.2 LPA

Highest CTC

14 LPA

17 LPA

Major recruiters

Microsoft, Infosys, ZS Associates

TCS, Byjus, Zaloni

  • The fee of BITS Hyderabad is higher than that of IIIT Guwahati, which is a point students need to consider before applying for the institute.
  • IIIT Guwahati is a much newer institute and is in its growing phase at present. So, there is no guarantee of placement in the institute.

Although the placement of a student mostly depends on the student’s potential and hard work, the institute definitely plays a role in it. And, considering the above points, electrical and electronics engineering at BITS Hyderabad is definitely a better choice.

Which is better for ECE, IIIT-H or NIT Surathkal?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : April 1st, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

If you are considering a career in computer engineering or electronics engineering, there are a few things that you should keep in mind. While a college degree may be helpful, it is not the only way to acquire the necessary skills to succeed in these fields. Here are some important points to consider:

  • Skills do not depend on college degrees: It is important to remember that skills are not necessarily tied to college degrees. Many successful computer programmers and electronics engineers have acquired their skills through self-study, online courses, and other forms of independent learning. What matters most is your ability to demonstrate your skills through practical experience and projects.
  • High demand for skilled computer programmers: There is an infinite demand for highly skilled computer programmers with impressive TopCoder and GitHub profiles. These skills are highly valued in many industries and can lead to rewarding careers.
  • IIIT-H is a top choice for computer engineering: If you do decide to pursue a college degree in computer engineering, it is worth considering the International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad (IIIT-H). This institution is widely regarded as one of the best in India for computer engineering, with a strong focus on research and innovation.
  • Electronics engineering is the proper term: It is important to note that there is no such thing as "electronics and communication engineering" in the real world. The proper term for this field is simply electronics engineering. A skilled electronics engineer is someone who can use their command over low-level computer programming languages to make computers do what they want them to do.
  • GATE/IES ECE syllabus is important for the government sector: If you are interested in pursuing a career as an electronics engineer in the government sector, you will need to follow the GATE/IES ECE syllabus to be able to compete in competitive exams.
  • High demand for skilled electronics engineers: There is also an infinite demand for highly skilled electronics engineers with impressive TopCoder and GitHub profiles. These skills are highly valued in developed countries around the world, and can lead to rewarding careers.
  • Two ways to become an electronics engineer in India: There are two main ways to become an electronics engineer in India. One is by competing in competitive exams to work in the government sector. The other is by getting recruited by private electronics engineering companies 

based on your TopCoder and GitHub profiles, even without a school or college degree.

In summary, pursuing a career in computer engineering or electronics engineering can be highly rewarding, even if you do not have a college degree. It is important to focus on acquiring the necessary skills through self-study, online courses, and other forms of independent learning, and to demonstrate your skills through practical experience and projects. Whether you choose to pursue a college degree or not, there is a high demand for skilled professionals in these fields, and many opportunities to succeed.
