Is IIM Calcutta an "IIM Ahmedabad" rejected college?
I think comparing both IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta is doing injustice to these colleges. Both the IIMs are excellent at their own level.
If you consider the rankings then IIM Ahmedabad tips the list and IIM Calcutta comes next. But do rankings really matter that much? It might be possible that a certain college is on top of the list but inconvenient for you and a certain college is second in the list and is best suited for you.
I have seen friends who have rejected offers from IIM Ahmedabad and went for IIM Calcutta because it suited their needs better.
Some special features of IIM Calcutta that IIM Ahmedabad does not have are:
-
A finance lab with a Bloomberg terminal
-
Top notch finance faculty
-
CEMS-MiM programme (Masters in Management programme ranked 7th in the world)
So yes IIM Ahmedabad is the best IIM but IIM Calcutta is also not an ordinary one. Choose the one that suits your needs best rather than which ranks the most.

What is the difference between PGDM full time and PGDM Finance at IMT Ghaziabad?
An acquaintance of mine completed his PGDM from IMT Ghaziabad so hopefully, he would be able to answer your question accurately.
- In the case of PGDM full-time, you will be capable of choosing your own area of specialization, be it marketing, finance, or HR at the end of the first year.
- In the case of PGDM finance, your area has already has been chosen for you and will not be able to change it.
- Irrespective of the specializations, the first year is common for each and every student. PGDM students can choose their desired area of specialization at the end of the first year.
The college management may ask full-time students to choose their specialization area before their placements for summer internships which are usually 3-4 months of joining even though technically you can choose your major by the end of the first year. My acquaintance had to choose his major before his summer internship placements.
If you choose PGDM Full time, then you will be able to choose your specialization from:
- Marketing
- Finance
- Information Management and Analytics
- Operations Management
- Human Resources
- Innovation and Entrepreneurship
If you go for PGDM finance, you will have to learn the electives and core subjects of finance in your second year.

The distance education at Madras University is a mixture of good and bad. Here’s mentioning some of them which will give you a basic idea.

Which is the best branch in VSSUT, Burla, Odisha?
for VSSUT Burla branch ranking from best to decent: CSE > IT > ETC > EEE > Mechanical > Chemical/Civil/Metallurgy
CSE and IT obvious picks for placements — TCS, Infosys, Amazon visit campus. highest package was Rs.47 LPA from Amazon SDE (ETC branch, 2023!). but here's what most people miss — ETC (Electronics & Telecom) is massively underrated at VSSUT. strong faculty, solid GATE scores come out of ETC, and both core + IT company placements are possible.
- placement-focused career: CSE > IT > ETC
- GATE / higher studies: EEE and ETC are excellent picks
- core jobs (PSU, manufacturing): Mechanical and Electrical fine but harder to crack
one thing to keep in mind — VSSUT is remote (Burla, near Hirakud Dam, Sambalpur). no big city nearby. hostel is decent but basic. mess food gets complaints. median package is Rs.6.38 LPA — for an Odisha state govt college the value is genuinely great, fees are super affordable. best pick in Odisha after NITs easily.
Is an MBA from XLRI worth it?
There are various parameters through which it can be measured whether XLRI is worth it or not.
-
Money: You will be able to appreciate it more if you consider network and learning a part of it. About 200 students cannot afford the fee and must take out a loan to pay it to find it well worth it.
-
Time: There is also an opportunity cost involved. It's worthwhile if you believe that peer learning and classroom learning are a good use of time.
-
Effort: The true worth of your efforts becomes clear only after you see the results. Every year in XL, over 500 people recognize that value and trust their experience, and another group of students embarks on the same journey to discover their own.
-
Sacrifice: At various ages, people make various sacrifices in order to pursue their XLRI dream. Some postpone a wedding, some drop out of their campus placement, and some resign from a job they're not sure about. This has less to do with XLRI and more to do with the decision to pursue management.
You can't go wrong with XLRI if you believe a Management course will make a significant positive difference in your life.

How is production engineering at NIT Agartala?
My uncle is an alumnus of NIT Agartala Production Engineering and never once regretted choosing the branch. While most of the students were after branches like Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Computer Science, etc.
He chose the least preferred, Production Engineering. He claimed that if you want to go for higher studies or secure jobs through GATE then the branch doesn’t really matter. Moreover, most campus jobs are from IT companies so the branch does not matter but your skills do. If you have already chosen Production Engineering, then wait patiently because the results will be great.
From my uncle's batch, many students moved on to pursue successful careers. A few of them have been listed below
- Lakshmi Soren joined NTPC on campus
- Dipankar Narah joined BHEL through GATE
- Prasenjit Chanda joined Tata Steel after post-graduating from IIT Roorkee
- Rashmi Dhar joined Tata Auto Comp System on Campus
- Ratul Bhaduri and Kashyap joined Tata Motors
Additionally, many others joined IT industries like Virtusa, Polaris, Capgemini, and Cognizant while some joined as professors in different universities after pursuing Mtech or PhD from good universities.
So the conclusion is, that there are a plethora of opportunities and options you are exposed to even in the Production Engineering branch of NIT Agartala.
