Which is a better college for a B.Com Bhawanipur Education Society College Kolkata or Shri Shikshayatan College Kolkata?

SP
Simi Pandit Posted On : January 20th, 2022
BSc. from Shri Shikshayatan College, Calcutta University (2019)

Both Bhawanipur Education Society and Shri Shikshayatan are reputed colleges in Kolkata. They admit their students on a merit basis. Their cut off is usually high but if you have average scores you will get a chance in their 2nd or 3rd lists.

Shri Shikshayatan is an all girls college and requires a better academic record. Both colleges are more or less the same. They differ in infrastructure, faculty and overall fees. Shri Shikshayatan has better infrastructure than Bhawanipur with better well maintained buildings, auditorium, gym and swimming pool. 

Bhawanipur encourages students to join their college clubs and committees, they believe in the holistic development of the students along with academics. The college hosts, organizes and takes part in several inter-college festivals, cultural activities, competitions, etc. which take place all year long. If you prefer being around such activities then Bhawanipur is the right place for you.

The choice entirely depends on the individual and where his or her interests lie. Both are reputed institutions, so you will enjoy the perks these brands offer, you just have to choose what interests you more. A culturally active college or a college mostly inclined towards academics.

Compare and contrast life in SOE, CUSAT and NIT-Calicut?

AR
Arnav Roy Posted On : August 9th, 2023
Lives in Kolkata, West Bengal, India

I couldn’t get admission at NIT Calicut and ended up pursuing my B.Tech from SOE, CUSAT. I have many friends who are studying at NIT Calicut currently and on the basis of the gathered information, here is a comparison of life at SOE, CUSAT and NIT Calicut-

  1. As compared to other Kerala Engineering Colleges, CUSAT has a vast syllabus with in-depth study of various topics. The NITs, however, have an even more vast syllabus and the difficulty level is higher. At the NITs, the syllabus is spread across semesters in a proper manner, but the CUSAT students feel burdened when their exams approach because of an overwhelming syllabus and lack of proper guidance.
  2. If an NIT student fails an exam, they have to attend the classes for that subject again and if they do not limit their backlogs, they have to spend another year completing their degree. CUSAT does not take your backlogs as seriously and many students end up with multiple backlogs as a result. 
  3. At NITs, your grades play a huge role during the placement season. At SOE, CUSAT, no one gives importance to your scores.
  4. Core companies visit the NIT campuses in great numbers, offering high packages to the top scorers in the batch. At SOE, CUSAT very few core companies visit the campus and only a handful of top scorers are allowed to sit for these interviews.

Thus, without a doubt, I would say that NIT Calicut should be your first preference for a B.Tech as it is better than SOE, CUSAT on different parameters.

Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

It depends on your business school needs. You listed three prestigious schools. This may help you choose:

  • SP Jain is famous in India and globally for its global business and entrepreneurship concentration.
  • The oldest and most famous Indian business school, IIM Lucknow, is known for its academic rigor and research.
  • XLRI Jamshedpur emphasizes management and social responsibility.

Academically, with facilities, and placement, XLRI is better. It is the best in India for HR and BM, with 100% placement every year.

Which is better, IIM Amritsar or Great Lakes Chennai PGDM?

BM
Barkha Manral Posted On : January 19th, 2023
MBA in General Management, Indian Institute of Management Visakhapatnam (Graduated 2021)

I think Great Lakes is a better option than IIM Amritsar. The following points support my opinion

  • Establishment: IIM Amritsar is a baby IIM established in 2015 and has yet to make its mark in the industry. Great Lakes is a relatively old college with a better campus and curriculum.
  • Faculty: The faculty at Great Lamar’s is more stable and varied while the faculty at IIM Amritsar comprises mostly visiting faculty.
  • Brand Name: Despite being an IIM, IIM Amritsar lacks credibility while Great Lakes enjoys a great brand name.
  • Industry exposure: Despite being an IIM, IIM Amritsar lacks the necessary industry exposure which is great in the part of the Great Lakes.
  • Placements: The placement scenario at Great Lakes is much better than that of Amritsar. So if your ultimate goal is to get a high-paying job, Great Lakes should be your choice.

Although my opinion is strongly against IIM Amritsar, it’s only because it’s a new IIM. Any older IIM is a better choice than IIT. MBA is all about investment and ROI which is great in the case of older IIMs. I have still seen many people choose Amritsar over IIT just because of the IIM tag. So do what your heart says.

PK

B.Tech in Computer Science, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar ( NITJ ) (Graduated 2017)

Both the NITs Jalandhar and Jamshedpur are equally good in all aspects. Be it faculty, placements, rankings, curriculum or facilities, both the NITs give each other tough competition, NIT Jamshedpur will give some extra benefits because it’s like:

  • Strong alumni base as it is older

  • Better location as it is managed by TATAs

  • Covers major industrial areas of our country so better opportunities.

The ultimate factor to decide should be your proximity and regional parameters.

AS
Arvind Sharma Posted On : January 21st, 2022
B.Sc. Statistics & Operations Research, Ramjas College, University of Delhi (2016)

Ramjas is one of the best Science colleges in the country. Being a North campus it has its own benefits. A lot of events take place within the north campus which you will be aware of or be a part of if you take admission in any north campus college.

Ramjas in terms of reputation, crowd quality, and exposure is much better than ARSD. It has got an incredible faculty and equally great infrastructure. It is one of the oldest colleges under DU hence has a lot of academic experience. If you seek a fulfilling college life, giving attention to both academics and extracurricular activities, Ramjas is the place for you.

There are a lot of societies and clubs in Ramjas, students get enough exposure to explore their skills and talents and enhance them. They are lenient with attendance and also lets students submit an ECA for serious reasons. It will give a proper balance between academics and extracurriculars, here you get to focus on both of them equally. For Physics Honours Ramjas will be the perfect choice.
