Should I choose 5 years (I.T. + robotics) at IIIT Allahabad or 5 years CSE at IIEST Shibpur?
There’s no doubts about the fact that 5 years at IIITA is a smarter option compared to anything else. This is because of the simple calculation that you are going to study the same curriculum for 4 years BTech for 3 years. That is all about the core of CS and IT. One core and two electives are a part of the fourth year in a 4-year BTech program, which hardly makes any difference.
According to the experts, Robotics is the future of the IT industry and hence, finding yourself in the midst of such an academically enriching atmosphere which ensures a full time access to a premium robotics laboratory and esteemed faculty will certainly do good to you in more ways than you can ever imagine. That’s the kind of right exposure you are looking at.
Moreover, this department at IIIT Allahabad is being funded by MHRD, thus having a lot of helpful and positive influence from the big academic and administrative circles from all over the country. A number of international conferences sponsored by IEEE are held here regularly. A DST funded summer school of robotics is also a part of this institute. IIIT Allahabad is known to have multiple MOUs with various popular foreign universities and has extensive student exchange programs to give the best exposure of the industry and experts to its students.
What subjects should I choose in 11th if I want to do the IPM course in IIM Indore?
It should be Physics-chemistry-Maths-Computers if one wants to maximize their chances of selection and perform well in IPM.
Reasons:
The IPMAT has nearly IITJEE-level maths. The IPMAT consists of two sections: maths (quantitative aptitude and data interpretation, reasoning).
The first three years of IPM require at least nine courses in maths and statistics. Differential Calculus, Integral Calculus, Probability, Sampling Distribution & Statistical Inference, Linear Programming, Numerical Analysis, Optimisation, and other subjects are covered.
Furthermore, other computer-related courses are required. Object Oriented Design, Programming and JAVA, Data Analytics, Data Structure, C, Algorithms, DBMS, Web Development, and so on.
While there are ten courses linked to economics, practically all of them take a more mathematical approach. Except for 5-6 sessions out of 200, classes 11-12, economics is not particularly useful for those.
Why the commerce stream is ineffective - There is only one accounting course. Some management fundamentals and business law courses. While an accounting course may be preferable, I doubt it is difficult to learn. None of those other topics are covered in Commerce 11-12.
PCMC is typically present in 60% of the batch. Only 5% of 11-12 grade students have no math skills, owing to several diversity policies and affirmative actions. This track also aids in hedging one's prospects of admission to other institutions, including BITS Pilani's UG and integrated programs, IISER, ISI, and IITs.
While commerce in 11-12 assists in BBA, IPM is not the same as BBA+MBA, therefore please do not mistake it for that widespread and incorrect misconception.
P.S. - If you are weak in maths or dislike maths, you should avoid IPM at IIM Indore. Other IPMs and a variety of other institutes would be a better fit for you.

How is IBS Hyderabad for MBA co-curricular, extra curriculum, campus life, and environment?
In pursuing an MBA at IBS Hyderabad, a case-based study methodology is utilized for teaching. The professor will provide a case for every class, and students must prepare for the case by reviewing relevant chapters and linking the concepts to the practical example discussed in the case. During class, the professor will manage the discussions on the case and students will present their viewpoints, which may be accepted or countered by the professor. The professor will guide the discussions to ensure the correct understanding of concepts is reached. In some instances, concepts will be taught by the professor. However, the college encourages self-study and does not spoon-feed the students.
A wide range of student clubs is available on campus, covering various fields. Each club is managed by students with a professor acting as a mentor. The clubs are responsible for conducting various activities such as quizzes, treasure hunts, guest lectures, movie screenings, sports competitions, and more. These clubs provide students with exposure to event management.
Annual events include a festival in January, where all clubs are responsible for preparing different events, and an annual sports fest organized by the sports club, where students from different colleges participate.
IBS Hyderabad offers a vibrant campus life with facilities such as a resort-like environment, two food messes, two cafeterias, an all-night cafeteria, and a well-equipped gym. The clubs schedule events during weekends and the college have a bus service to the city. On weekdays, buses run only in the evenings while on weekends they run throughout the day. Food festivals are regularly organized in the food messes, and there are many small dhabas and restaurants near the campus to cater to students' taste buds.
Should I pursue my MBA in Canada from a mediocre university (like McMaster or UBC), or should I get into a new IIM (Shillong, Udaipur, etc.) in India if I ultimately want to settle down in Canada?
If you have already decided to settle abroad, investing your time and money in the new IIMs is useless. You should start looking for the top B Schools in your preferred country. Moreover, the IIMs, even the older ones, have a non-existent international scope.
So why invest so much money in something that will not improve your chances of settling abroad? To make it easier I have listed a few Canadian Business Schools that are the most preferred ones.
- University of Toronto
- University of Western Ontario
- York University
- University of British Columbia
- McMaster University
It’s amazing that you have been shortlisted for 2 of these amazing universities. I suggest you go for them instead of IIMs.
