As you've not asked about a specific program, I'd like to tell you about my cousin's experience at NMIMS Mumbai where he studied the NMIMS SBM core program. 

Pros

• NMIMS ranks in the top 20 institutes in India as one of the top private institutes.
• There is no reservation or quota seats.
• You can appear for the NMAT thrice, but then it's a lot of time wastage.

• You'll get to spend two years in Mumbai which is the commercial centre of India.

• Your batchmates will range from myriad fields like medical, judicial, teaching, pharmacy and Even recent graduates. There'll be those with 0 experience and those with 10+ years of experience.

• Faculty to student ratio is good as well, despite the big batch size.

Cons

• It's an expensive institute 
• The hostels are insufficient and many SBM MBA students have to reside in apartments near the college.
• The batch size is adding up each year hence placements might become a war zone in the near future.

NMIMS MBA is good, however, it doesn't depend on where you did your MBA from in the long run. As ultimately your overall performance will be taken into consideration.

According to recent reports, IIM Visakhapatnam is on an excellent pace of development in all means. Students of IIM Visakhapatnam are seen to excel in various corporate competitions like V-guard, KPMG, etc. There are notifications of students succeeding in competitions every now and then, and the credit goes to the faculty, their guidance and support.

The table below gives a brief overview of the institute.

Faculties:

• The professors and lecturers are considered to be among the best in the country. Some of their lessons seem to be worth, if not more, that is spent for the degree.
• Each faculty has a different way of teaching, and something interesting and exciting comes up from everyone.
• The professors encourage free-minded opinions from students.

Placements:

• The placement report of IIM Visakhapatnam is published on the official website of the institute. According to the recent statistics, the placement of IIM Visakhapatnam is quite decent and satisfying.
• IIM Visakhapatnam is known for providing genuine placement reports. They don’t add expenses like travel, etc to the CTC, which is the case in some other institutes. So, it can be considered 100% authentic.
• The institute has seen the best recruiters visiting the campus for placement.

Location and facilities:

• Vizag is a beautiful city. The beachside hostel of the institute offers a heavenly view every morning and evening.
• There is some provision of sports for students, but not too good due to lack of infrastructure. It is expected that this will be sorted in the permanent campus.
• Facilities like free gym membership in one of the best gyms in the city (Talwalkars) is provided by IIM.

Overall, it is a definite verdict that IIM Visakhapatnam has a lot to offer to its students, including curriculum, activities, and placement.

I am an alumnus of Thapar University. Back when I was a student, Dr. V.P. Aggarwal was one of the best teachers at Thapar.

Back in 2014, sir used to teach us KOM (Kinematics of Machines - UME 302). I would usually arrive late for all my lectures, and sit for them with almost no interest. But one of sir’s classes truly inspired me and changed my perspective on life. 

Our ESTs were nearing, and so those days very few students attended classes. Sir was teaching us a topic and at the end, he asked us for our doubts. All of us were sitting in a disinterested manner, almost as if forced to attend the lectures. This was when sir told us that he had come back to the university at 4 in the morning, straight from Jabalpur. 

He had come back specifically for our class. When we asked him why he took so much pain for a single class, he replied that it was duty to teach his students. He said he would have felt restless with the thought that maybe some student had a query that day which couldn’t be solved because of his absence.

He told us that for him duty was above everything else. He wanted all his students to work hard and stay motivated. That day changed my perspective on life, and made me realize the importance of hardwork.

This is why, for me, sir is one of the best teachers whom I studied under at Thapar University.

A good institute is a very generic term. Everyone has their own criteria for a ‘good institute’. In my opinion, a good institute is one that offers an excellent college life experience combined with a top-notch education.

BITS Pilani has a poor NIRD Rank because NIRF focuses on research and the location of the institute while evaluating this, 2 factors that BITS Pilani fails miserably in. However, if you look at other rankings, BITS Pilani scores pretty well.

• India Today: BITS Pilani B.Tech ranking by India Today is 7 out of 10 colleges in India in 2022
• The Week: BITS Pilani Overall ranking by The Week is 5 out of 34 colleges in India in 2021.
• IIRF: BITS Pilani B.Tech ranking by IIRF is 1 out of 173 colleges in India in 2022.

Additionally, BITS Pilani has excellent infrastructure and hostel facilities. It also organizes 3 major and several minor fests. Oasis is the second-largest cultural fest after IIT Bombay Mood Indigo. Considering all this, I think BITS Pilani is certainly a good institute.

One of my friends studied at NMIMS Mukesh Patel School of Technology Management (MPSTME). According to him, there are some things you have to know before enrolling:

• MPSTME has a very rigorous curriculum.
• The classes are conducted 6 days a week, for about 6 hours a day.
• You will have to maintain a 80% attendance to be able to sit for the examinations.
• 100% attendance is required for tutorial and lab sessions.
• 2 assignments per subject is given to the students every academic year.
• The teachers conduct regular viva sessions also.
• Students are also required to opt for co-curricular activities as well. 
• There are clubs and committees like Cultural, Technical, Social, Sports, Social Impact, Colloquium, etc. which they can be a part of.

Therefore, the overall atmosphere is very competitive. If you are studious enough you will be able to manage otherwise you will lag behind.
