FORE School of Management is approved by AICTE on the other hand IMI Delhi is approved by AICTE, NBA and AIU. Both of them were established in the year 1981 and provide good quality programs to their students. According to NIRF rankings IIIM was ranked #28 whereas FORE was ranked #43.

Intake process:

FORE School of Management:

• The process of admissions in this institution is a bit lengthy. The candidate is shortlisted on the basis of scores obtained in CAT/GMAT/XAT exams.
• After the shortlisting the students will be required to appear in: Written Ability Test (WAT), Business Awareness Quiz (BA-Q) and Extempore and Personal Interview (PI)
• The final selection is considered on the basis of marks the applicant has obtained in CAT/GMAT/XAT, WAT, Business quiz, Extempore, Personal Interview, Academic performance and work experience.

IMI Delhi:

The selection process of applicants takes place in the following manner:

• In the same way shortlisting of candidates is done on the basis of CAT or GMAT scores.
• Followed by a written test, requiring the applicants to write an essay.
• The last round of the process consists of an interview and extempore.
• Then the student is qualified based on the performances in all the rounds.

Some similarities/dissimilarities are tabulated below:

Both the institutions have highly qualified faculties. FORE has a longer process of selection which might make it a selective institution, having limited seats for PGDM courses and hard to get in. On the other hand IMI doesn’t have that lengthy process as compared to FORE. More the number of companies recruiting the institution will automatically result in more number of students getting placed.

The IIIT Guwahati has been established quite recently. And the second batch of the college has backed an average package of 7 LPA. So, it can be imagined how the college is growing in terms of its placement percentages. 

• The coding culture of the college is also very good. 
• The college follows the curriculum of the one of top colleges i.e. IIIT Hyderabad. 
• It has got one of the best directors i.e. Dr. Gautam Barua who was the director of IIT Guwahati and Patna. 

In terms of brand value, infrastructure, and quality of education the IIIT Guwahati is much better than PEC Chandigarh. PEC Chandigarh is not recommended by the students because of its environment. But do research more on the method of teaching and management of the college before getting into any college. Hope this answer clears up some of your doubts.

Both colleges are on par with one other in terms of faculty and academics. Both, Haldia Institute of Technology and Heritage Institute of Technology are approved by AICTE and private universities located in West Bengal. But if you are passionate about chemical engineering, aim for IITs.

Both colleges offer Bachelors in Technology in Chemical Engineering. Discussed below are some details about the Chemical Engineering courses offered by these two institutes. 

About 7-8 years ago, all or most of the current faculty of the Heritage Institute of Technology used to be part of the Haldia institute of technology. So there is no big difference in the degrees offered by these two institutes. You only get different degree certificates from HIT and MAKAUT.

Above all, it is suggested to prepare for JEE so that you can choose a better or equivalent institute to IIT. Because college name matters.
