Amity University Noida vs Amity University Gurgaon — both are part of the same Amity group but different campuses:
Amity University Noida (main campus): the flagship campus, much larger, more established, more facilities, bigger alumni network. most Amity brand recognition refers to this campus. better for most programs including engineering, management, science.
Amity University Gurgaon: smaller, newer campus. Gurgaon location near corporate Delhi-NCR may have some advantage for certain business/management programs due to proximity to companies. but significantly smaller ecosystem than Noida.
verdict: Amity Noida is better overall. the campus infrastructure, faculty pool, alumni network, and program variety is superior. if you're considering Amity, Noida is the default choice. Gurgaon only makes sense if the specific program you want is available there and not at Noida, or if proximity to Gurgaon businesses is specifically important for your goals.

The decision of picking a college solely depends on the students according to their conveniences and personal preferences.
If you have an average rank but want to get a decent branch then DTU is the best option especially if you are looking forward to the excellent exposure offered in Delhi. A plethora of opportunities are available here and you can intern all through the year.
Varanasi, Kharagpur, or Roorkee have very few startups and you won’t be gaining the kind of exposure you will be getting here. Additionally, you can avail the benefits of a metro city like better placement opportunities.
Another major reason why you should choose DTDU over IIT is the diversity of the alumni of DTU. You can find DTU alumni literally everywhere from government, PSUs, and startups to high posts in big private companies. Some go for IAS, and IES or are pursuing MBA or MS abroad. The alumni pool is therefore versatile so you can get inspired to pursue a variety of careers rather than restricting yourself to Engineering only.
However, it’s important to note that the brand value of IITs, their global recognition, flexible curriculum, and excellent faculty pool can never be compared to DTU.
I think IIM Calcutta is not as recognized or talked about as IIMA or IIMB because it did not gain fame from Bollywood. Bollywood movies have been shot at IIMA and IIMB. So they are more talked about than IIMC. It has nothing to do with its own facilities. That being said, some amazing features of IIM Calcutta are
Top notch alumni base
Beautiful campus: The campus of IIM Bangalore is not an average one. Its beautiful infrastructure and location give it a surreal ambiance.
Amazing Placements: IIM Calcutta is the best for finance placements. Reputed banks like Merrill, Credit Suisse, JP Morgan and Chase, Goldman Sachs prefer students of IIM Calcutta over IIMA and IIMB. For consulting IIM Calcutta has all the top 4 Mckinsey, Bain, BCG and AT Kearney.
So nothing about IIM Calcutta is less than other IIMs. It just lacks the general fame, not the works.
Not at all. IIFT Delhi is not equal to FMS. Despite sharing a geographical location, both institutes have established very different standards and are leaders in their respective fields.
FMS is known for its ROI because the total course fee is only INR 1.92 lakhs and the average placement is INR 26.20 lakhs per year. You won't have to worry about EMIs and will have more financial freedom after completing your MBA.
On the contrary, if you want to specialize in international business, IIFT is the place to be. FMS will give you a general management degree, and your electives will determine what you specialize in, whereas the entire IIFT program is geared toward International Business. FMS lacks infrastructure, which is shared by all DU colleges. IIFT, on the other hand, has a superior infrastructure.
During the IIFT Delhi MBA IB placements 2022, the average package offered was INR 25.16 LPA. Previously, the average packages offered during the 2020 and 2021 IIFT Delhi MBA IB placements were INR 20.48 LPA and INR 21.08 LPA, respectively. As previously stated, FMS, Delhi has an average package of INR 26.20 LPA.
Finally, it comes down to your personal preferences and the institute(s) to which you were admitted. If given the opportunity, there is no reason not to attend either of these two institutions.
BHU and AMU are sister concerns. Both institutes carry forward the same legacy so I don’t think they are comparable.
People usually want to believe that these biased universities will divide Hindus and Muslims and worsen their relations. But that’s not the case.
Both universities are loyal to their cause- Education.
As an AMU student, my sister loves her university. She has never visited BHU but she is sure BHU students love their university equally as well.
So I don’t think the two universities stand a chance of comparison when they both are equally good.
