How good is Maharishi Markandeshwar University, Mullana?
Maharishi Markandeshwar University received the tag of an university only recently, that is in 2007. One cannot list it among the best universities in North India but it definitely will get there in the years to come and that is because of one simple reason that the people here have high aspirations and the students are talented.
The faculty is not the best but that should not stop you from considering the university. NAAC accredited it Grade ‘A’ which is actually a very good grade and gives the university an edge. There are modern classrooms but there are things that need to be fixed like the internet availability.
There are not many opportunities for one to indulge in sports. The lectures are not very informative but if someone is self-motivated and wants to put in efforts to learn better and more, there is a huge library and many resources that can be put to good use.
Latest News stories in the media have shown a great deal of improvement. Overall, Maharishi Markandeshwar University is a good choice and one won't regret opting for it.
What is the value for part time PGDM in NMIMS Mumbai?
Most part-time courses carry no real value other than adding the post-graduate tag. They have no worth in the corporate world irrespective of whichever reputed college you have chosen. NMIMS is one of the top reputed B Schools in India and has a big brand name.
- The faculty is extremely talented and experienced
- The placement scenario is pretty good except that part-time courses have no fixed statistics.
- The fees are relatively high when compared to other B Schools of the same league
- The curriculum is very rigorous and requires constant attendance and involvement. Being a part-time PGDM, you are probably a working professional and it becomes very difficult to balance work with studies.
- The curriculum required you to submit assignments and give frequent exams. This might be difficult for working people.
- Unfortunately there is quite a level of distinction between full-time PGDM students and part-time PGDM students as the former get the most attention from teachers.
- The curriculum is rushed in order to get completed within 21 months imparting no real learning
I know a friend who chose NMIMS Executive MBA and paid hefty fees just for the brand name instead of doing the same course at a less popular B School. She regretted her decision and claimed the program to be a total waste of money and time. She said she could have done the same from another B School at half the cost. So part-time MBA itself is not that worthless, but paying a hefty sum merely for the brand name and postgraduate tag is illogical. You can do the same program at a much lesser cost than other B Schools.
Which is better, NIT Jamshedpur or NIT Silchar?
NIT Silchar is definitely better than NIT Jamshedpur in all possible aspects. I am not saying this just because it's ranked much higher than NIT Jamshedpur, but NIT Silchar's research culture and placement statistics are way better than NIT Jamshedpur. Despite operating from a place where there are issues related to communication, transportation, and development, it has become one of the top NITs. The students are left in awe of the beauty of the campus.
I will suggest never comparing colleges on the basis of placements alone. N that case many private colleges have better placements yet people run after IITs and NITs because of the brand value, the crowd, the legacy, and the research activities. It's a well-known institute among the faculty and students of top IITs. The Director Prof. S. Bandyopadhyay is working on improving the institute's reputation by holding many national and international events.

What is the cost of doing FPM in ISB Hyderabad?
It is to be cleared first that the FPM course is completely equivalent to a Ph.D degree. It takes approximately 4-5 years to complete, along with accurate learning and research work.
The fact is that ISB generally pays Rs. 40000 as a stipend along with House Allowances to the candidates who are doing FPM on a full-time basis. Thereby you are not required to pay anything from their own pocket, but they can earn 40 thousand per month.
However, the most important thing is that FPM requires accuracy to complete the study without spending money. So, you have to study with full accuracy, and earn support from this institute to carry on your personal and family expenses. You have to enroll as a full-time candidate and should not have any other source of income.
If you have any other second income, then it will not work. After completing this program, the student will get unlimited rewards, considering their knowledge and income.
Is electronics and design technology for NIT Calicut worthy? How are the core placements for this branch?
To decide a course’s worth depends not only on the subjects dealt with but also on the aptitude/expectations of the student.
It would be good to keep in mind that power electronics is quite a vast field. Electronics Design and Technology is like any other specialization offered by NITC.
If you go in-depth you get to know that this course is a blend of VLSI and embedded/system design.If you are interested in the VLSI domain, then EDT is definitely your way. Most of the subjects are shared with Microelectronics & VLSI branches.

Recruiting Companies |
TI, Broadcom, Nvidia, Synopsys, etc. |
Okay, let us take a look at the placement scenario:
- Placements are a bit off for M.Tech students relative to B.Tech students at NITC.
- Several core VLSI companies (TI, Broadcom, Nvidia, Synopsys, etc) end up hiring mostly B.Tech batch.
- It also depends on your academics too.
- Intel usually hires interns during the second year.
- These internship opportunities are available only to VLSI and EDT students mainly.
Though, the chance for placement in core companies directly is relatively less. But, if you manage to maintain your CGPA on or above 8 you have a chance to get into a good internship opportunity. There will be internship opportunities available in companies like Broadcom, Intel, and Cypress.
Most of these guys selected will be converted to full-time after one year of internship. You can do an internship and Second-year M.Tech main project at the same time. If you are really good you can also try for an internship from other branches like Telecom and Signal Processing.
What is the difference between COE and CSE at Thapar University?
COE vs CSE at Thapar — this is a question that really matters for career outcomes at Thapar, and most answers are vague. Here's the concrete difference.
CSE (Computer Science and Engineering) at Thapar:
- Standard software/CS curriculum: Programming, DSA, OS, DBMS, Networks, AI/ML electives.
- Placement: High demand from IT companies. ~92-95% placement rate. Average ~12-14 LPA for CSE specifically at Thapar.
- Industry perception: Strong for software development, SDE roles.
COE (Computer Engineering) at Thapar:
- More hardware-software overlap: Includes digital circuits, microprocessors, embedded systems, VLSI alongside software CS subjects.
- In practice: Very similar to CSE at the coursework level — 70-80% overlap.
- Industry perception: Essentially treated the same as CSE by most IT recruiters. Companies don't distinguish significantly between CSE and COE for SDE roles.
- Placement: Similar to CSE — both strong. COE slightly lower avg (10-12 LPA) in some years due to lower volume of hardware-specific companies visiting.
Key takeaway:
- For software career: CSE = COE in outcome. Don't stress the difference.
- For hardware/embedded/VLSI: COE provides slightly better foundation.
- If CSE cutoff is too high and you can get COE: Take COE without worry. Career paths and recruiter access are nearly identical.
Thapar's course registration system also lets COE students take CS electives freely — further reducing any difference in practice.
