You should get admission to BIT Mesra. It has better recognition in the industry. During 2022 placements, more than 235 recruiters took part in BIT Mesra placements. The institute boasts of an average CTC of INR 13.01 LPA. The highest national CTC offered last year was INR 58.33 LPA. 

Being a regional college, BIT Mesra has an excellent student crowd.

There is a difference between JBIMS and Sydenham, and it is important to understand it from different viewpoints.

Regarding student admission, the process is the same every year. If someone scores 99.9 or above, they will be admitted to JBIMS, while someone with a score of 99.8 will be admitted to Sydenham. The difference between 99.8 and 99.9 in terms of ability and aptitude is negligible, with only a few more questions answered correctly on a particular day making the difference. Thus, the difference between the top students of JBIMS and the top students of Sydenham is barely perceptible.

JBIMS has been consistently ranked among the top institutions for a long time and is likely to maintain this position. It is not likely that Sydenham will surpass JBIMS in the rankings. If JBIMS leaves the CET centralized process, Sydenham will become the top institute purely through CET.

There is a difference in the environment between the two institutions. JBIMS stands out from other MMS-offering institutes due to the work its alumni have done in the industry and the fact that some of its professors only teach at JBIMS. This may be the reason why 4-5 students from SIMSREE take the CET again each year to try for admission to JBIMS.

It is important to consider whether the tag of the institution will define you. The tag of the institution only matters for a few years, providing a head-start, but it is what you do with it in the entire career that depends on you. It is recommended to identify yourself within two years and strive to be better than the crowd, academically and in terms of internships and certifications.

If there is even 1% doubt that you cannot make it in the next admission attempt, it is advisable to evaluate your current situation, your goals, and how JBIMS or Sydenham fits into your plan.

All the aforementioned institutes are well known for their IT programs. However, in terms of course structure and academic ambiance, one should give preference to IIIT Allahabad over MNNIT and NITK. This is because the institute mainly focuses on CS education and its curriculum is also CS tailored. However, in terms of placements, IIIT Allahabad and MNNIT are almost at the same level followed by NIT Surathkal. 

Here is a brief overview of these colleges.

Hope this helps you!

RIMS Imphal is the oldest medical institute in northeast India. NIRF 2021 has ranked the institute 43 for medical sciences. It is also the first choice for most medical aspirants. NEIGRIHMS, Shillong is the second choice for most students since it is a Central Govt. Institute. Due to high fees, AGMC, Agartala is less preferred among students. 

Both the AIIMS Jodhpur and Bhubaneswar are reputed medical colleges with similar curricula and facilities. Usually, students consider the proximity to home while making this decision. That being said, most North Indians prefer Jodhpur while South Indians prefer Bhubaneswar. 

The other factor people consider is the nature of college life offered by these. Jodhpur is a tourist heritage city with a very hot climate whereas Bhubaneswar is a capital metro with a pleasant climate. Had I been in your place, I would have always chosen AIIMS Bhubaneswar over AIIMS Jodhpur. Here’s why

• Trauma center: The trauma center offers practical experience and also trains the students to handle their emotions as a part of this challenging field.
•  Mother And Child Block: A new Mother and Child block is on the way to promote Gynae-Paedia learning.
• City life: Bhubaneswar has a student-friendly life with many top educational institutes. Top colleges like XIMB, IIT, IIIT, NISER, and labs like ICMR, and CSIR provide a student-friendly atmosphere. These institutes contact sports events, fests, and science and you can attend these events and make great memories and get exposure. 

I don’t mean to demean AIIMS Jodhpur especially when it has the best sports facilities among all AIIMS. Ultimately it’s your decision to make!

Recommendations on joining an IIM:

For individuals who come from top tier engineering colleges (such as IITs or BITs) and have a salary of more than INR 10 lakh per year in the tech sector:

• It is not advisable to join any new IIMs unless you are looking to change your domain or are in a particularly difficult situation.
• Do not expect to gain a lot of knowledge or make friends with similar backgrounds at new IIMs, as the student body tends to have mediocre backgrounds and may not be well-informed about industry trends.
• Do not join a new IIM based on the media relations people who promote the institute on Quora, as they may not understand your level or expectations.

For individuals who are not from top colleges and have a salary of less than INR 5-6 lakh per year:

• It may be beneficial to join a new IIM, as it could potentially improve your situation.
• It is generally a good idea to join a new IIM without hesitation, as it may have a significant impact on your life.

For individuals who come from top tier engineering colleges and have made poor decisions in their lives:

• It may be worth considering attending a new IIM if you are willing to endure two years of academic study in order to improve your career prospects.

For entrepreneurs or aspiring entrepreneurs:

• Consider the return on investment before committing to a new IIM. It may not be worth incurring a debt of INR 16 lakh and spending two years with mediocre peers if it is not likely to lead to a good job and a successful career. It is important to carefully weigh the potential benefits and drawbacks before making a decision.
