What are the parameters to be considered by an ISI MSQE 2021 aspirant while making a choice between ISI Delhi campus and ISI Kolkata campus?

DB
Devika Behera Posted On : September 3rd, 2021
Studied MSQE from Indian Statistical Institute (2019)

ISI Delhi is a better option than ISI Kolkata when it comes to MSQE. However, if you are from West Bengal or any nearby place, ISI Kolkata must be your first preference. Moreover, if you are looking for placements desperately then it would be best suited your first option.

But on the other hand, if you want to be an economist, then you should pursue a Ph.D. in economics without any second thoughts from ISI Delhi.

When placements are looked at, then you might feel disappointed as both campuses have average placement records. Last year, approximately 31 out of 51 students were selected for ISI Delhi and only 14 out of 17 were selected for ISI Kolkata. Moreover, there is a lot of gap in the selection percentage, therefore, it can be concluded that none of them is easier.

Which is better: IIT Indore CS or IIT Roorkee electrical?

Sayantani Barman Posted On : June 20th, 2023

Looking at your choices I see you are victim to the most common dilemma among the Engineering aspirants; the core branch in old IITs or the CS branch in new IITs. The best way to determine this is by going through the course structure of both branches and seeing what interests you the most. 

Inculcating basic programming skills side by side won’t hurt. It will help you realize if you are interested in coding or not. If you are, then IIT Indore is the best option for you because of its rich coding culture.

IIT Indore promotes coding through various clubs such as the programming club and even your seniors guide you throughout. But if you realize programming is not your cup of tea, you can give up on IIT Indore and choose IIT Roorkee instead. It’s an old IIT and thus the exposure and opportunities will be much better.

Which is better- Electronics engineering at IIT BHU or ECE at IIT Guwahati?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : May 5th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Both IIT Guwahati and IIT BHU are highly comparable to each other in terms of academic and professional excellence. However, both have their own unique strengths and weaknesses and my answer will guide you to make the most appropriate choice 

Course structure: The course structure of both EE at IIT BHU and ECE at IIT Guwahati is similar and has very few differences. 

Infrastructure: IIT Guwahati has better infrastructure because of its later establishment. IIT Guwahati is known for its extremely beautiful campus with rich natural beauty.

Alumni: Being older, IIT BHU has a longstanding legacy of excellence. This has a positive effect on the placements.

Culture: IIT BHU has a rich and dynamic work culture that is generally not found in engineering colleges.

Faculty and peer pool: Both IIT BHU and IIT Guwahati have excellent faculty and peer pool being reputed institutions.

Ultimately, it’s all about personal inclinations and there is no fixed right or better choice.

How good is IMI Delhi 'executive PGDM' compared to other 1 year exe-MBA courses in India?

HS
Harry Sandhu Posted On : March 3rd, 2023
MBA from International Management Institute (2021)

IMI Delhi Executive PGDM is a very good choice if you are on the lookout for improving your learning caliber and climbing the corporate ladder higher. It is most suitable for working professionals who join on a sabbatical and don’t leave their jobs to pursue this program.

The faculty is highly experienced and will guide you throughout the program. The placement for their flagship course is better than the executive course. They falsely claim to offer lateral placement support. If you are joining the program be prepared for no general increase in salary or placements. Join the program only if your primary purpose is to learn. Less than half of the students get placed in this program too with below-average packages. If you are ready to face it with a positive mindset, then only opt for this program.

Is it worth taking AIIMS Jodhpur or AIIMS Rishikesh in the second counseling, if I am allotted AIIMS RAIPUR in the first counseling? My domicile is Andhra Pradesh.

NM
Neha Mahajan Posted On : November 19th, 2022
MBBS from All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur

Given your location, AIIMS Raipur may be the best option for you. Students should not believe that any of the 2012 AIIMS is superior to the others. The primary issue arises when people begin comparing AIIMS colleges based on the last rank attained. But it's a little indecisive.

Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Odisha are the northern states with the highest number of NEET and AIIMS admissions. As a result, students tend to select AIIMS near them, which has a large gap between the last ranks.

Because of nearly equal funding, each AIIMS college now has something to talk about, and management decides which area they must focus on.
