Is it worth doing a post graduate diploma degree in data analytics from IIIT Bangalore?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : October 9th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

As a student of PG Diploma in Data Analytics at IIIT Bangalore, here is my honest opinion of this course-

The admission counselors will hide necessary information from you, and lure you into spending Lakhs. After payment of the fee, they won’t receive any inquiry calls from you.

The course content isn’t worth the high fee. There are better and far cheaper courses available on Jigsaw/ Datacamp. The pace is very hectic as well. Assignments are very burdensome, especially for working professionals. This course is not professional friendly, unlike what the admission counselors will tell you.

Getting a diploma certificate is next to impossible upon failing in more than one subject. You’ll be taught way less, and burdened way more. The difficulty level of exams is very high. There’s a lot of strictness regarding assignment submissions. Late submissions aren’t excused at all. Plagiarism results in direct course termination. Placements aren’t guaranteed.

Considering all this, I won’t recommend you join this course at IIIT Bangalore.

Is IES better than IAS ?

DB
Dishari Banerjee Posted On : February 25th, 2021
Studied at Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad (2018)

This depends mainly on the candidate’s personal choice and what he or she is aiming for. IES stands for Indian Engineering Services and IAS stands for Indian Administrative Services. The examination and recruitment of both these officers are managed by UPSC (Union Public Service Commission). Both of these are high-profile jobs and receive much respect and honor from the government and the people.

Job Role

  • An IES officer handles the technical duties and is responsible for managing the technical tasks of various services of the Indian government.
  • An IAS officer deals more in public and handles the administrative department of the public sector, state and union government.

An IAS officer is more powerful compared to an IES officer as it has more respect in society and commands more power. The pay scales of both are the same but an IAS officer is probably more famous and likely in society. Both of them receive awards and recognition from the government for their work and contributions to society.

Branches

  • In IES there are branches like telecom, road, railways, and other infrastructure where you can work by choosing any one of them and show your capabilities and skills.
  • In IAS there are IFS( Indian Foreign Service), IPS (Indian Police Service) and IRS (Indian Revenue Service). A candidate can choose from any of these branches and join them and excel in their future. 

Academics

  • To join IES, a candidate must be an engineering graduate from any of the recognized universities. A candidate can apply for IES as much as one wants as there are no limitations on the number of attempts.
  • To join IAS, a candidate must have a bachelor's degree from any of the recognized universities in any course. In the IAS exam, a candidate can apply only 6 times.

Categories

IAS

IES

Application Fee

100 (Free for Female and Reserved Candidates)

200 (Free for Female and Reserved Candidates)

Number of Seats

1000

Around 500

In IAS, there is a wide variety of subjects and a candidate can choose from one of them according to their choice and preference for the exams.

In IES, there are no choices as it consists of subjects specific to engineering courses like civil, mechanical, electrical, etc.

Which one is better, PSU or IES?

RM
Rohit Mishra Posted On : February 19th, 2022
studied Electronics and Communication Engineering at Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra (2021)

Both PSU and IES have their own advantages. Here is some insight regarding both these services. 

Postings: 

In IES, each department except railways gives posting in metro cities or tier 2 cities. But in PSU, there are high chances that you will get a rural posting. Due to obvious reasons, most plants are set up in rural areas. DMRC, POSOCO are the only exceptions. So, if you want to live in metro cities, you should prefer IES. But most PSU has good townships set up near their plants. These townships have decent facilities like gyms, pools, clubs, shopping malls, etc. 

Compensation/Salary: 

PSUs offer better salary packages. Most PSUs offer a basic pay of INR 60,000. You will also get various allowances like cafeteria allowance, uniform allowance, etc. The CTC offered at most PSU is around INR 17-18 LPA, while it’s around INR 11-12 LPA in IES. 

Authority: 

In terms of authority, IES wins. No PSU job will offer you the power and authorities an IES service offers. IES jobs also have better respect in society.

Lifestyle/Facilities: 

IES posts have more responsibilities. In sectors like railways, you need to be available 24*7. In terms of facilities, PSU is better. Large PSUs have almost every big private hospital in their panel. 

You should choose one of these two services according to your preference.

How do I prepare for the IIM Indore IPM Aptitude test and personal interview? What books should I refer to prepare for IPM-AT? What is the syllabus for the Aptitude Test?

HN
Hardik Nagar Posted On : January 11th, 2023
Studied at Integrated Programme in Management, IIM Indore (Graduated 2021)

Frankly, the preparation tips for the IIM Indore IPM Aptitude test and personal interview are best understood from a student who's been through the process recently, not a coaching instructor or institute.

The aptitude test to interview score ratio is 60:40. The study material for the course can't really help you much. Sharpen your math skills if they are lacking. It's a must because quant is a stress if your math skills aren't up to par. The computer provides you with a calculator, but it can only perform basic addition and subtraction. If you are proficient in English, verbal is simple. No point in opening the dictionary to figure out new words or trying to mug them up. Read the papers and any classic literature you can get your hands on. The rest would probably work out. The majority of the reading was at the CBSE level. Your reading speed is the only potential stumbling block. Reading newspapers will also help you if you are chosen for the interview. The term "electronic commerce" refers to the sale of electronic goods. Also, the break between the test and interview is a good time to brush up on your class 12 syllabus.

The one thing to remember is to never lie. They'll see right through you, and trouble may be on the way. Presentation is essential. Don't be scared to ask for a little time to ponder upon a question, but don't be overconfident.

The key is self-assurance. After all, the panelists and the test are only attempting to assess the breadth of your knowledge, your self-awareness, and the goals you wish to achieve. Don't compare yourself with others or think of the multitude of kids trying their luck too. You will succeed there if you are aware that IIM IPM is where your heart truly lies.
