I am interested in pursuing PGDBA offered by IIT KGP, IIM C, and ISI Kolkata. Have little to no programming experience. Should I pursue this career?
My brother is doing his PGDBA from IIT KGP and he was rather afraid of programming and coding when he started the course. If you're stuck in the same situation, then my only advice is to enroll in the course with an open mind and a desire to learn to program if you don't already know-how.
Coding Experience: There is always a first time of everything. Now there are numerous MOOCs available online that can assist you in taking the initial step. The discipline of analytics (technical side) necessitates solid coding abilities, and therefore if you want to pursue a career in analytics, you should start learning the necessary skills now.
Work Experience: It is not necessary to have prior work experience to enroll in the course. However, relevant analytical experience aids in extracting greater value from the course.
According to your assessment of your interests, you have a preference for fields involving mathematics and statistics. Analytical science is an excellent fit in that regard. I would recommend that you go into MOOCs like Coursera, audacity, and your willingness to learn more about this field. You will obtain a better understanding of the field and would be able to decide if this is a good fit for you or not.
What is the CAT percentile cutoff in NITIE for reserved categories?
The college does not release cut-offs for the reserved categories. However, it can be predicted from the general cut-off.
The cut-off for the general category usually lies between 97 percentile- 98 percentile. So, the cut-off for OBC can be 90-92 percentile and for other categories, it can lie around 80.
Since you have not mentioned any particular course, here is the past trend for PGDIM and PGDISEM.
| Program | Category | Overall Cut-off | Sectional Cut-off |
| PGDIM | OBC | 87+ percentile | 75+ percentile |
| PGDIM | SC/ST | 70+ percentile | 56+ percentile |
| PGDISEM | OBC | 84+ percentile | 68+ percentile |
| PGDISEM | SC/ST | 55+ percentile | 49+ percentile |
Note that these vary every year depending on the number of applications received.
Is it better to take a lower branch in NIT Rourkela or a good branch in CET, BBSR?
In my opinion, choosing a lower branch at NIT Rourkela is better than choosing a good branch at CET BBSR. Whenever choosing a college, always give preference to the institute over the branch. This is because choosing a bad institute can limit your experience no matter how good the branch is. The poor faculty, infrastructure, and opportunities will affect your academics, and the ‘good branch’ will not come to your rescue.
On the contrary, an average branch but a good institute will provide more scope in terms of exposure and academics. The right guidance from an experienced faculty will provide opportunities even in a low branch. Moreover, one can never be certain of the right branch for themselves as they have limited knowledge of the courses taught.
So, it's wise to choose a lower branch at NIT Rourkela than to go for a better branch at CET BBSR.

How are the placements for MPP in NLSIU?
One of my friends recently graduated from NLSIU. Here is his insight on the placements at NLSIU.
- There is no placement cell in the institute. Students get placed through a student-led body called RCC (recruitment coordination committee). An average of 30 percent of students get placed. Around 50 percent don’t have a proper job secured during graduation.
- The institute has its reputation however the course and curriculum provided by the institute don’t prepare you for any corporate job. Getting into the top company is only possible if you are in the top 5 of a strength of 70 people in the class. You will have a chance of getting into the big four, i.e. EY, KPMG, Deloitte, etc. as policy professionals. But don’t expect to get into IGOs like the World Bank or UN.
- According to the recent placement highlights at NLSIU, the L&L Partners made 12 placement offers. Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas & Trilega made 7 placement offers while Cyril Amarchand made 1 placement offer. Companies like ICICI Bank, Societe Generale, Khaitan, AZB & Partners made less than 5 offers each. In 2020, the highest CTC offered at NLSIU was 18 LPA.
The employment space for MPP professionals is opening up with time and if you have the required skills you will have decent opportunities along the line. But you will need to approach top companies through platforms such as LinkedIn.
