Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Here are a few possible reasons why SPJIMR placements are better than or equally good as IIMs 

  • SPJIMR has a much smaller batch size in comparison to IIMs and thus the average rises.
  • SPJIMR has a very rigorous selection process that filters the best students and the recruiters are well aware of this.
  • SPJIMR enjoys a great location maximizing the exposure and opportunities rendered to the students. 
  • The students perform exceptionally well in the placement interviews and thus secure high packages.

 It's important to note that these reasons are just based on speculations and it cannot be exactly determined why some placements are better than others.

Lives in Bhubaneshwar

IIIT Bhubaneshwar is the right choice if you want to study Computer Science. Being a unitary university, the course structure will be designed by the college itself and will be at par with most top colleges in India.

Here are a few highlights pertaining to the college

  • Faculty: IIIT Bhubaneswar has a highly qualified and dedicated faculty pool for branches like CSE, IT, ETC, and EEE. Most professors are Ph.D. holders and hail from reputed institutes of the country. These professors encourage and are themselves involved in cutting-edge research.
  • Crowd: You will find many like-minded people here as IIIT Bhubaneswar welcomes a diverse crowd. 
  • Infrastructure: VSSUT infrastructure has been improved and now students have access to Wi-Fi. The lab facilities are also being improved and the library is stocked with the latest reading material. The library has a lot of digital content on every topic. Special ports and extracurricular infrastructure are getting better day by day.
  • Culture: Sadly, VSSUT still hasn’t managed to develop its culture because it's new. Its alumni network is also not strong. However, it has an active club culture offering a lot of scope for self-development.
  • Placements: VSSUT has been recording decent placement records with top recruiters like TCS, Infosys, Deloitte, Tata Steel, Vedanta, etc. The average CTC offered to students is around Rs.6.05 LPA while the highest CTC offered is around Rs. 17.34 LPA.

Ultimately, college can only be a stepping stone and it’s you who has to carve the way to success.

Is IET Lucknow comparable to NIT?

AU
Akshat Uniyal Posted On : November 10th, 2022
Lives in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India

Of course, if you look at the faculty, placements, and atmosphere, it is very similar to NITs.

In terms of a student competition, due to the 50% state quota in all NITs, many students with very low scores get into NITs, but in a state like UP, it is extremely difficult to get into NIT even after the state quota due to massive competition. Furthermore, students who take admission in IET have a very good rank in UPSEEE; they are those students who have a decent rank even in JEE Mains but do not go to NITs due to branch issues, so students here are also good. The most important aspect is that you will receive excellent preparation for future studies such as GATE and CAT. This is not available in many NITs because they are located in cities with no coaching institutes.

Are SPJIMR (Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan's) and SP Jain School of Global Management related in any way? If they are not related, which one is better?

PK
Praveen Kumar Posted On : March 6th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad

I am going to address the most common misconception that SPJIMR and SP Jain are somewhat related. 

Establishment: SPJIMR was established in 1981 and is associated with the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, one of the only two institutes of national importance. SP Jain on the other hand was established in 2005. SP Jain or Sheehan Prasad Jain provided capital for the foundation of SPJIMR during its establishment. Later they decided to launch their own brand in the name of SP Jain. This is the main reason why people get confused between the two.

Campus: SPJIMR is solely Mumbai based and has no other campus whereas SP Jain’s Mumbai campus is one of the 4 campuses of the institute.

Legacy: SPJIMR is 36 years old and has a legacy of providing excellent management education focusing on value-based growth. SP Jain is a relatively new institute that is yet to build some credibility in order to impact the Management scene in India.

Alumni: SPJIMR has a much stronger and broader alumni network than SP Jain.

We can draw the following points of conclusion from this comparison 

  • SPJIMR is the authentic SP B School everyone is looking for
  • The quality of education at SPJIMR is at elegy with that of International B Schools which is not the case for SP Jain
  • The little game achieved by SP Jain is because of its accidental linkup with SPJIMR
  • The schools are definitely not rivals as SPJIMR is way ahead of SP Jain. We cannot really compare a 10-year Institute with a 36-year-old one.

I hope my answer has cleared all your doubts regarding the relationship between SPJIMR and SP Jain.

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : July 6th, 2023

NIT Delhi was established in 2010 and is still struggling to make its mark in the education world. As for your question, if NIT Delhi will reach the level of DTU and NSIT soon, I feel that it certainly will. The following points support my stance further

  • Every year, NIT Delhi has at least one student who gets ranked under 100 in GATE
  • A student of NIT Delhi has gone for GSOC more than one time and is now a CERN(European Organisation for Nuclear Research)Geneva.
  • NIT DELHI has highly qualified teachers and one of them worked in NASA, ISRO, and Japanese space organizations and then finally became a professor at NIT Delhi.
  • NIT Delhi's first convocation ceremony’s Guest of Honor was Shri Pranab Mukherjee.
  • The students here actively participate in research work and the Director itself has published 300 research papers in International/National journals. 
  • One of NIT Delhi's alumni has the honor of joining IIM Indore.
  • NIT Delhi placement 2021 recorded an 88% placement percentage and top companies like Adobe, Amadeus, Avalara, and Code Nation visited the campus.
  • NIT Delhi has the second fastest internet in India.

NIT Delhi may be lacking in terms of campus and alumni but it’s nothing that cannot be improved in the years to come!

How is JNU in comparison to Harvard?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 4th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Both institutes are well-reputed and suitable for higher studies. But it is not possible to compare Harvard with JNU, as they both follow completely different structures and curricula. Harvard University stands out in terms of good academics, infrastructure, faculties, placement, and ranking. 

JNU has a pulsating student culture, as they have various clubs and student-led organizations that result in the active participation of students in cultural and political activities. The students became socially oriented, and they should have a significant commitment to our society.  

Both of them are unique and renowned.

IIM Calcutta is unquestionably superior to IIPM on every count. In most ways, it is better as compared.

IIMC is the best finance and economics institute. But, if you want to know what it's like to waste your parents' money and time to get a degree that isn't even recognized, IIPM is the place to go. That experience is not available at IIM C
