Which is good for a B.Arch: SPA Bhopal or MANIT Bhopal?
As far as academics are concerned, SPA Bhopal is better in my opinion. This is backed by the fact that SPA Bhopal requires higher JEE Paper 2 ranks for admission into its B.Arch program. Additionally, SPAs are dedicated to Architecture and Planning studies. So they have a higher branch value in the field of Architecture.
Now, MANIT Bhopal is also a good college. One advantage is that it is located in Bhopal city. On the other hand, SPA Bhopal is located on the city outskirts.
For branch value, join SPA Bhopal. But for a better exposure to city life and the associated advantages, join MANIT Bhopal.
Why is the IIM Lucknow Brand value increasing over FMS's, in the opinion of MBA aspirants?
Before I even answer your question let me contradict it. No, the IIM Lucknow brand value is not really increasing over the FMS in any aspect. If anyone really thinks so then he/she is just after the brand name. To clarify my point, I have listed out some strong points in favor of FMS that might change your mind.
- A cost-benefit analysis that includes tangible and intangible asset(s) evaluation will prove the fact that FMS certainly does better. Apart from this the ROI factor cannot be underestimated in the case of FMS.
- Your purpose of pursuing an MBA will very much determine the brand value of a college. If you just want to attach a tag with you for life then IIM it is, but if you are looking beyond that and want to be exposed to a self-discovery journey along with MBA, then FMS is for you.
- The infrastructure is indeed lacking when compared to IIM Lucknow, but this never means that it fails to impart quality education. In fact, FMS has given birth to many top-class management leaders.
- The batch size is very low in comparison to IIM Lucknow. This simply means more opportunities and less competition.
- FMS is a very old institute almost 60+ years of age whereas IIM Lucknow has completed half of this time only.
So we can definitely conclude that FMS is a fairly decent choice and that it’s just a misconception that IIM Lucknow is increasing in brand value. Someone has rightly said
At an IIM you loan your MBA, but at FMS you own it!
How many mocks should be sufficient for the IPM IIM Indore exam?
Mock exams are unquestionably the most crucial part of the IPMAT Indore exam preparation. If you carefully analyze each mock exam, about 25 to 30 would be enough to pass this one. You won't benefit from mocking someone just for the sake of mocking someone. In essence, you're just wasting your time if you don't spend two to three hours analyzing each mock. Accordingly, 1-2 months should be sufficient for you to comfortably administer and evaluate 30 mock exams.
By taking practice exams, be sure to come up with a winning strategy that will help you perform well on the real exam.
How is IIT Mandi for CS or Mechanical?
IT Mandi is considered to be a highly reputable institution for both Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering programs. According to NIRF, IIT Mandi was ranked 43rd in 2022 and has consistently been ranked among the top engineering institutes in India.
One of my close friends was a student of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Mandi and shared his experience at the institute for 4 years. He told me that engineers should never choose a branch just because it’s better than the other and only be driven by their passions and inclinations.
IIT Mandi CS branch has been growing at a fast pace. This branch guarantees good salary packages, a very dynamic peer group, research-oriented culture, and a very found and zealous faculty pool. Additionally, the Computer Science and Engineering program at IIT Mandi has been accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) and is considered to be of high quality.
The Mechanical Department on the other hand is yet to reach the IIT standards and it still falls behind in terms of faculty base, infrastructure, and quality course curriculum. However, you will find quite a few PSUs like BPCL, ISRO, and Coal India offering good opportunities to BTech students that speak of the general credibility of the institute.
Ultimately, it is important to choose a program that is the best fit for you and that will allow you to reach your goals.
Should I do a BBE from Delhi University or bachelors in economics from Delhi School of Economics?
DSE doesn’t offer bachelor's in Economics. However, most other colleges under DU offer BA in Economics.
BBE is a more professional course and focuses on the application in business scenarios. While BA Eco covers the theoretical aspects of Economics. If you want a career in academics or want to pursue research in the field, BA Eco will be the right choice.
What should I choose mechanical engineering at top 3 nits or CSE at NIT Jalandhar?
Students these days focus more on placements than general potential development. They rank branches on the basis of the placement opportunities they render. But this viewpoint is totally unfair.
Recent years have seen a drastic change in interest from Mechanical Engineering to CSE. People prefer sitting in front of the computer for the rest of their lives just to earn better than Mechanical Engineers.
My advice in this regard is that you should go for Mechanical Engineering at the top 3 NITs over CSE at NIT Jalandhar. Else choose CSE only if you are crazy about coding.
How much should one score to get into top IIM institutions like IIM Ahmedabad? What is the reservation cutoff for the same?

| COMPONENTS | WEIGHTS |

How beneficial is it for an entrepreneur to choose PGDBA (IIM Calcutta, ISI Kolkata, IIT Kharagpur) over regular MBA program from other IIMs?
Choosing PGDBA over a regular MBA program is definitely worth it. With technology becoming the foundation of every company today a regular MBA program is not sufficient. You need to be well versed in data analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. This is when PGDBA comes into picture. This course offers a perfect knowledge of handling data to meet the competitive edge.
I have listed some major benefits of the PGDBA course that might assure you of its worth.
-
The course helps to automate things and take a more technological approach to every business decision.
-
This course will provide you with the brand name of 3 best institutes all together. This makes it better than the regular MBA program.
-
Interacting with faculties of 3 different institutes does not stagnate your thought process. The diverse opinions help you add to your ideas.
-
This course will enable you to open your own technology based start-up.
The only major disadvantage of this course is the lack of management skills you will develop. Although you will study management, not as much as you could have studied in a regular course. But this in itself is not a factor big enough to hinder your success.
