Is it worthwhile doing an MBA in UPES Dehradun?
Every B-school has its unique strengths and so does UPES Dehradun which is famous for its domain-specific MBA. If you are willing to pursue an MBA in oil and gas, power management, or energy trading, choosing UPES Dehradun will be the right decision. It offers a plethora of opportunities in these domains and the ROI is also great. There are some industry-specific courses too but their placements are just average.
The best part about UPES is the diversity of the crowd. You will get the chance to interact with people from various backgrounds such as law, management, engineering, and design thus enhancing the learning experience manifolds.
Ultimately, I will suggest you go for UPES Dehradun only if you are planning to pursue a domain-specific MBA, else you can go for better B Schools.
Should I go to IBS Hyderabad (ICFAI) for an MBA? Why or why not?
IBS Hyderabad isn’t a good option for MBA. The placement record of the institute isn’t good. You won’t get a good ROI. The course fee for an MBA at IBS Hyderabad is INR 16.02 lakhs. While the average CTC offered to the students according to IBS Hyderabad placement highlights for 2022 is INR 7.97 LPA.
The student intake is huge. Batch strength for MBA is 1300. So, students don’t get equal opportunities in terms of academics and placements.
What package do IISER graduates get after a BS-MS?
IISERs are not established for just placement purposes rather the motto is to build the scientific aptitude among students so that they earn more from their skills and knowledge.
The curriculum at IISER has a strong base and you will eventually give up the idea of placements. This is why most students apply for Ph.D. after completing BS-MS from here. Ideally, you cannot compare IIT with IISER in terms of placements as most of the IT companies do not find IISERites to be worthful until they have acquired some skills of their own.
Do not apply here just for the sake of doing engineering as the level of competition is very high at IISER. You will be wasting 5 years if you do not want to pursue higher studies and looking just for placements.
Even if you look for job opportunities after BS-MS, you can take up jobs as biologists, chemists, mathematicians, physicists with a salary of around INR 50,000 per month.
How much marks should I score in the AIIMS entrance exam to secure an MBBS seat in AIIMS Delhi??
AIIMS Delhi no longer has a separate entrance exam — it joined the NEET system in 2020. so admission to AIIMS Delhi is through NEET UG marks only.
to get AIIMS Delhi (MBBS), you need to be among the top ~50-100 NEET rankers nationally (general category). in practice that means:
- NEET score: 715-720 out of 720 (general category, recent trends)
- NEET rank: approximately AIR 1-100 for general category
- AIIMS Delhi closing rank for general typically falls between rank 1-50
this is the most competitive MBBS seat in India. getting even 700 in NEET would not guarantee AIIMS Delhi for general category.
for the newer AIIMS institutions (AIIMS Bhopal, Patna, Jodhpur, Rishikesh, Bhubaneswar, etc.):
- NEET rank ~100-1000 for general category gets you into one of these
- these are also excellent government medical colleges, world-class in terms of government funding
focus on maximizing your NEET score. 700+ keeps your options open for all AIIMS campuses.
My JEE main rank is 10000. Can I get computer science in NIT Trichy?
JEE Main rank 10000 for NIT Trichy CSE — this is a very asked question. let's be specific:
NIT Trichy CSE is one of the most competitive programs at any NIT. recent closing ranks (JoSAA counseling):
- Home State Tamil Nadu (HS quota): CSE closes around rank 1,500-2,500. at rank 10,000 even HS quota won't get you CSE
- Outside State (OS quota): CSE closes around rank 500-1,000. rank 10,000 is way beyond this
so ngl bro, rank 10,000 cannot get you CSE at NIT Trichy through JoSAA. it's one of the most competitive CSE programs in the NIT system.
what you CAN get at NIT Trichy with rank 10,000: Chemical Engineering, Production Engineering, Metallurgy, Civil (HS quota). Mech might be borderline.
better strategy: at rank 10,000 you should target CSE at NIT Warangal (HS quota Telangana only), or CSE/ECE at NIT Rourkela, MNIT Jaipur, MNNIT Allahabad, NIT Calicut (non-core branches). check josaa.admissions.nic.in for current year cutoffs.
I got NIT Surathkal ECE and IIIT Bangalore CSE. I am joining IIIT Bangalore CSE, is it a good decision?
This is a very subjective question. However, as a student of ECE at NIT Surathkal, I am writing down a few points in defense of my degree-
- First of all, NIT Surathkal offers a much more complete and diversified engineering education. This is because you will get to interact with the students of various disciplines from around the institution. This will offer a good exposure in contrast to the IIITs which are entirely focused on CSE and ECE branches.
- ECE is the branch of the future. CSE is turning more and more into a commodity. This is due to the dilution of its educational standards, and the increasing volume of students in this branch.
- As an ECE student, you can always learn programming (it is in fact a part of the curriculum in a limited manner). However, it is much more difficult to learn the concepts of ECE as a CSE student.
- As an ECE student you can be placed in a software company, but as a CSE student you can’t work in the E&C field.
- Both the colleges are good, but NITK holds more prestige because it is much older. Its campus is very impressive as well.
But even IIIT Bangalore CSE is a great option. Once you’ve made a decision, stop seeking others’ opinions. Instead, work on your skill enhancement. Considering the sheer lack of core jobs in the electronics sector in India and the huge placement opportunities in the IT sector, your choice is good from a placement point of view.

Is it worth paying the higher fees to go to ISB? Why?
My answer is going to be extremely biased as my sister has been a victim of ISB Hyderabad’s high fees and poor placement opportunities. This answer is meant to shed some light on this issue.
ISB Hyderabad MBA fees are currently INR 41,98,000 (plus GST) while the batch size is around 900. The Institute has failed to cater to the huge batch size and has witnessed a decline in the quality of education and placements in ISB Hyderabad.
The best roles are very scarce and are given only to the students with the top grades. Others end up with below-average packages. As far as the specialization is concerned, Finance jobs are almost non-existent at ISB Hyderabad. Consulting is one of the leading domains here and the top 3 firms do visit the campus. But the number of roles offered by them is not enough for the huge batch.
The other roles offered are mediocre and not at par with the hefty fees 900 students have paid. They expect better packages and after realizing the actual scenario feel wronged.
ISB Hyderabad MBA is not suitable if
- you earn around 16 Llacs with more than 3 years of work experience
- you are a software engineer in top product companies
- you are already from a good engineering college like IITs, BITS, and Top NITs
So we can safely conclude that ISB Hyderabad is an overrated Institute and its rankings are misleading. The reality of the institute begs to differ.
What is MBA salary in India?
MBA salary of a B-Schol graduate in India is proportional to their qualification and experience. It also depends on other factors like Almameter of the candidate, MBA specialization, industry, designation, etc. The MBA average salary for the topmost B-School in the country is as follows.

MBA salary depends a lot on specialization as well. Among the specialization, Marketing and Finance offers better placements.
How good is KJ Somaiya (SIMSR) for doing an MBA in India?
As a B-School, KJ Somaiya has certain factors which are advantageous, such as location, ROI, alumni base. Since Mumbai is the corporate hub of India, the college easily attracts many companies. SIMSR has a huge alumni base with people working at imminent positions in the corporate world.
However, it doesn’t come under the top B-Schools in India. SIMSR brand doesn’t have much recognition. Although it attracts many companies, the placement average isn’t at the same level as top B-Schools. KJ Somaiya placements 2022 had an average CTC of INR 10.95 LPA.
