What should I choose: MBA (EPGP) from IIM Bangalore or MBA (full-time) from Mannheim Business School, Germany? I have 8 years of experience in IT/Telecom and want to get into Product Management.
Rather than telling you what to choose, I will list down the pros and cons of both the B Schools and leave it to you to make the final decision.
Mannheim Business School, Germany
Pros
- Being one of the most reputed B Schools in Germany, you will get a high-paying job right after completing your course.
- Mannheim itself is an experience as people from all over the world come here and you get to attend some amazing events too.
Cons
- This B School charges a whopping fee of around 32000-35000 euros. And the fees do not include living expenses (9000 euros)
- You will have to learn German especially if you want to get into product management to deal with clients. That is an additional expense.
IIM Bangalore
Pros
- Fees are comparatively less than that of Mannheim Business School.
- Faculty is supportive and extremely experienced.
- Living expenses are included in the fees themselves.
- The placements are top notch and with an above-average grade, you can easily get placed at a reputed firm with a high package.
Cons
- Being located in the heart of the city the only disadvantage that IIM Bangalore students face is the heavy traffic.
Weighing both the pros and cons you can now make a decision easily. In my opinion, go for the German B School if you have plans for permanently settling abroad. But if you want to eventually stay in your home country then IIM Bangalore is the best option for you.
Should I opt for IIT Guwahati for biotech or MNNIT Allahabad for IT?
Both IIT Guwahati for Biotech and MNNIT Allahabad for IT are extremely different courses in terms of the scope they offer.
Go for Biotechnology only if you are genuinely interested in it because core placements are miserable and there is a dearth of job opportunities. Most students get placed in Analytics and other non-core sectors and only a few manage to secure a core job. So go for this only if you want to pursue higher studies.
MNNIT Allahabad’s IT program offers excellent job opportunities but lacks in terms of research and exposure. The coding culture is very good here but the academics is poor. The placement scenario is great second only to CS placements. If you aren’t sure enough consider the following points before making the final choice
- Infrastructure: IIT Guwahati has excellent infrastructure and a very beautiful campus in contrast to MNNIT Allahabad.
- Sports: MNNIT lacks sports facilities and No importance is given to extracurricular activities.
- Location: IIT Guwahati with its serene campus and location is a clear winner in contrast to MNNIT Allahabad’s pathetic climate and lack of places to explore.
- Fests: The quality of fests held at MNNIT is very low compared to fests organized by IIT Guwahati.
Concludingly, if you have a specific preference for research and higher education, go for IIT Guwahati else MNNIT Allahabad is the best option for you.
Which university is better for an MBA, Kaziranga University or Tezpur University?
Tezpur University is a central University, whereas Kaziranga University is private. So the quality of education is better at TU. Also, the placement trends of the university have been quite good over the years. In the recent placement drive, the average CTC offered at the university was 3 LPA. So, for an MBA it is definitely the better option.
But when it comes to MBA, IIMs are the best choice. It’s better not to choose Govt. or private college for a professional degree like MBA.
Where is ECE better, NIT Jalandhar or PEC Chandigarh?
NIT Jalandhar is an autonomous university approved by AICTE and UGC. It is ranked 52nd for BTech by NIRF 2020, 33rd for BTech by India Today 2020 and 31st for BTech by The Week 2020.

Which will be a better choice, CSE at UIET Hoshiarpur or EEE at UIET Chandigarh?
The choice between CSE and EEE is subjective and totally depends on you. Keep aside your confusion about these colleges and give a thought to what you want to pursue by outlining the major factors that drive your interest the most.
You should rather explore the curriculum, campus, placements, packages offered, faculty, etc. of both the colleges in that particular field.
Both UIET Hoshiarpur and UIET Chandigarh provide a degree from Punjab University. I guess the highlighted difference you would find are the cities in which they are located and the campus life. Here’s a brief insight into the courses.

The question here arises whether or not you want to pursue higher studies after going for EEE. EEE in UIET would not provide you with good placements. Go for CSE at Hoshiarpur if you have no other options.
You can consider other options too if you have them.
