Which one is better NCFM or NISM? Are they meaningful? Why or why not?

SG
Senjuti Gupta Posted On : October 29th, 2021
B.Com from University of Delhi (2020)

NCFM and NISM, both certificates are at par with each other. The basic difference among the certificates is that NCFM is organized by NSE (National Stock Exchange of India Ltd.) and NISM is conducted by SEBI (Securities Exchange Board of India). 

  • Both these certificates have different categories of modules specializing in mutual funds, derivatives, interest rates, equity research, technical and fundamental analysis, etc. You can do either of the two certifications, based on what domains are available as per your interest. 
  • NCFM started with the objective of spreading financial literacy at a basic level for every individual. While NISM is a mandatory requirement for anyone who wants to begin their career in security markets in India. 

NCFM and NISM certifications are definitely meaningful. These will help you improve your knowledge in finance as well as add points to your resume.

Is there any difference between VIT Pune and VIIT Pune?

BG
Bhanu Gupta Posted On : April 30th, 2026

yeah they're different colleges! both run by same trust (BRACT) but separate campuses.

  • VIT Pune — main campus in Bibwewadi, since 1983, NAAC A++, NIRF ~100-150
  • VIIT Pune — secondary campus in Kondhwa, also autonomous, NIRF ~165

VIT is clearly better for placements. one thing nobody explains properly — some companies at placement drives don't allow VIIT students to sit, only VIT ones. so the shared placements aren't really equal in practice.

also heads up — VIT Pune has nothing to do with VIT Vellore. completely different institutions. VIT Vellore is a deemed university in Tamil Nadu. VIT Pune is in Maharashtra under Pune University. a lot of people Google VIT placements and accidentally read Vellore data thinking it's Pune — don't make that mistake when researching!

What will I miss if I join KPC instead of malda medical college What are the merits and demerits of both the colleges?

BM
Binayak Majumdar Posted On : October 11th, 2021
Studied at KPC Medical College and Hospital

There is no specific winner. Both Malda Medical College (MMC) and KPC Medical College have their advantages and disadvantages, and both fall under the same bracket. The better choice will be to compare them based on the location that is near to your home.

The following are some of the comparison points.

  • MMC is a government institute, and KPC is a private medical college.
  • The course fee for Malda Medical College is less as compared to KPC Medical College. KPC charges around 8.92 lakhs. 
  • Malda patients are usually happy with the hospital staff. There are twenty students to examine a single patient frequently.
  • Three out of ten patients in KPC fail to cooperate with interns in absence of a doctor. Student interns do not have much authority while examining the patients. It does not happen in government institutes like Malda.
  • The main disadvantage of KPC is the tag of private institutes even after getting admission through the NEET UG exam like Malda.
  • The crowd at KPC is less, and the campus is clean. The faculties are more understanding as compared to Malda.
  • KPC is in the main city, and Malda is on the outskirts of Kolkata.

Overall, choose the college that is near you.

Being one of the oldest engineering colleges in India, IIEST Shibpur is known for its legendary status, well-equipped campus, and a thorough specialization across more than 48 courses. HITK on the other hand is a private autonomous college with a Grade B++ NAAC Accreditation, approved by AICTE, and offers 25 programs across 2 streams.

We can compare the two institutions based on the following factors:

  • Ranking: IIEST Shibpur is ranked at 19 by NIRF under engineering institutes in India whereas HITK Kolkata has been ranked at the 150th position by NIRF under the same category.
  • Courses: IIEST Shibpur offers 48 courses in 5 streams with 29 specializations and also offers programs in Management, Architecture, Science, IT, and software. HITK offers a total of 15 courses in Information Technology and Engineering across BTech, MTech, and MCA degree programs with about 8 specializations for undergraduate BTech degree students.
  • Infrastructure: The campus at IIEST Shibpur is well structured with classrooms, laboratories, research labs, a library, high-speed internet across the campus, a sports complex, and 17 hostel buildings. HITK has a top infrastructure with fully air-conditioned classrooms, a 20,000 square feet library, sports complex, hostels, and an auditorium.
  • Placement Services: In terms of placements, IIEST observes nearly 90+ companies and offers an average median salary of 6.5 LPA with the highest salary package being 39.12 LPA. It sees top companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Deloitte, and more for recruitments. HITK offers an average median salary of 3.4 LPA and does not see many core companies for recruitments. Some of the top companies for placements are TCS, Apollo Paints, HDFC Bank, and IBM.

Based on ranking, campus and placement services students who are looking to join an undergraduate or graduate degree program in Engineering can make their choice accordingly. Both the colleges offer detailed course modules but if your JEE scores are good, it will be comparatively better to opt for IIEST Shibpur.

Is IIM Ahmedabad better than IIM Bangalore and Calcutta?

PR
Parth Reddy Posted On : May 30th, 2023
Studied at IIM Ahmedabad

Yes, IIM Ahmedabad is certainly better than IIM Bangalore and IIM Calcutta. Here are a few points to prove the same 

  • IIM Ahmedabad is situated in an alcohol-deprived state called Gujarat and students face lesser distractions while IIM Bangalore is in the pub capital, and IIM Calcutta is in the city of ITC.
  • The nearest airport to IIM Ahmedabad is just 30 minutes away thus providing great connectivity while the nearest airport to IIM Bangalore is 2 hours away and to IIM Calcutta is 1 hour away. 
  • IIM Ahmedabad has a small and cozy 67-acre campus, with a beautifully maintained lawn while IIM Bangalore has a massive 100-acre campus and IIM Calcutta has a 135-acre campus, situated in the midst of a forest. 

Placements-wise, I deem all the IIMs to be somewhat similar with the same companies offering similar roles and packages to their students. 

It can thus be concluded that IIM Ahmedabad is better than IIM Bangalore or IIM Calcutta.

Which college is better, SIBM Hyderabad or IBS Hyderabad?

TC
Tanuj Chandra Posted On : March 6th, 2023
MBA in Marketing, ICFAI Business School, Hyderabad (Graduated 2018)

Symbiosis has only good colleges in Pune. SIBM Hyderabad is merely an extension of the franchise, designed to attract students from all over India. If you are interested in attending a Symbiosis college, you should consider SIBM Pune, not SIBM Hyderabad. The same is true for IBS; IBS has many branches, such as IBS Pune and IBS Bangalore, but these are only extensions of the main campus, which is IBS Hyderabad.

It is recommended that you choose a main campus college, rather than an extension of a good college.

The final Verdict is that you should go for IBS Hyderabad. It is always recommended to do your own research and gather information from multiple sources before making a decision on your education. Additionally, factors such as personal preferences, career goals, and financial considerations should also be taken into account.

DTU vs NSIT: Which one should I choose for mechanical engineering?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 6th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

Both DTU and NSIT are great options for engineering aspirants with good ranks who are unable to make it into IITs. These 2 institutes are at the same level as top NITs, BITS, and IIT Guwahati. Comparing DTU and NSIT, the following points can be considered

  • Branch: NSIT is slightly better than DTU in software branches like COE/IT and even ECE whereas DTU excels in core branches like Mechanical, Electrical, and Civil. 
  • Infrastructure: Infrastructure-wise, DU is the clear winner with its 160-acre beautifully designed campus and top-notch facilities. Although NSIT has TI labs for ECE students, the overall campus facilities speak in favor of DTU. 
  • College Life: Campus life is better at DTU because of the relaxation of rules and a laid-back environment. NSIT has strict rules and students have to worry about attendance.
  • Mechanical Engineering: DTU Mechanical Engineering is an excellent choice because of its age-old legacy. The department excels in all aspects be it infrastructure, labs, faculty, facilities, reputation, and placements. The branch can be easily compared with the ME branches of IITs and BITS in terms of placements and education. A number of societies like ASME, and SAE will harness your passion for the branch. 

DTU is an excellent choice if you are genuinely interested in Mechanical Engineering.

Should I choose IIIT Kottayam, Dharwad, Kurnool or Trichy?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : September 12th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

IIIT Kottayam is one of the finest engineering colleges in South India. You can compare the placement statistics of IIIT Kottayam with the new IIITs and see how it fares better than others. Even during its first placement drive in 2019, many big companies like NISSAN, L&T, and Reliance(JIO) recruited students. 

The packages offered by companies like NISSAN were in the range of 6 Lakh-10 Lakh. These numbers portray how well the institute performed even during the first placement drive which the other new IIITs failed to do. Currently, the placement scenario at IIIT Kottayam is at par with most old NITs. 

The institute has a great coding culture that is at par with old IIITs like IIIT Allahabad, Gwalior, and some NITs. You will be amazed to know that more than 70% of students cleared the initial round of CODE JAM conducted by Google. Another aspect that makes IIIT Kottayam stand out among other IIITs is its permanent campus which many new IIITs lack. 

I feel you should join IIIT Kottayam without any hesitation!
