What should I join, SIBM Pune or IIM Visakhapatnam?
Don’t go for IIM Visakhapatnam if you are just attracted by the IIM tag. While it surely is part of the IIM family that does not necessarily mean it has the same standards. Between the two, SIBM Pune gives a slight edge to IIM Visakhapatnam. If you talk about them generally they definitely are good institutions, but they are not the best. IIM Visakhapatnam is not yet recognised at SIBM Pune.
But if your preference is staying in your hometown or other location factors and IIM Visakhapatnam is suitable for you, then go for it. Both are almost similar in terms of worth and academics. At the end of the day it’s not the institution but your own performance that matters.
Which is better, Amrita (Coimbatore) CSE or SSN CSE?
Amrita University is a deemed university whereas SSN is an autonomous institute in Chennai, affiliated with Anna University. I have friends in both universities and according to their first-hand experience, Amrita has a slight edge over SSN. While both colleges offer good quality education, here are some reasons why you should prefer Amrita University.
- Amrita University is one of the country’s top deemed Universities. It has a syllabus and curriculum which is on par with IITs and NITs.
- Especially if you want to pursue CSE, consider studying at Amrita University’s Amritapuri campus. There you can grab some great opportunities for CSE if you are willing to work hard.
- You will also get a lot of research activities going on at Amrita University that might help you with higher studies if you are planning to.
Overall, both the colleges are great in terms of education and facilities. However, Amrita University is the best choice when it comes to TNEA colleges except for Anna University, Guindy. At the end of the day, all that matters is your hard work and passion for the subject.

I got selected for the MBA programs at ISB Hyderabad and Cranfield University. Regardless of the cost which should I choose and why?
When making a decision between ISB and Cranfield, it is important to consider several factors, such as cost, faculty, industry reputation, alumni network, location, and study method. However, ultimately, the best MBA program for any individual depends on their individual goals and preferences.
To make a decision, it is recommended to compare the two schools across at least four criteria:
- Curriculum: Consider whether the program will teach the skills and knowledge you want to acquire and whether it is up-to-date and relevant to your goals.
- Primary learning opportunity: Evaluate the quality of the teachers, the methodology used, the research centers, and the quality of the student body.
- Infrastructure: Consider the resources available, such as the library, special labs, IT network, and digital content.
- Track record: Look at the school's track record in terms of placements, specifically in the industry or field you want to pursue after your MBA.
This may not be the best formula at all times, but it can serve as an example of the things you should keep in mind when deciding on a business school. It can be helpful to create a similar list of your own priorities when making your decision.

Which is better, CSD at IIITD, ICE at NSIT, EE at DTU or IT at MAIT?
If you are interested in Computer Science and want to pursue MS/Ph.D. from universities abroad, after graduation, IIITD CSD is the best option for you. IIITD CSD placements are also pretty good. During the 2021 placement drive, the average CTC offered was INR 16.56 LPA.
If you find Electrical Engineering or Instrumentation and Control Engineering interesting and want to go for GATE/PSU/MTech, then choose the respective streams at DTU/NSIT. These branches aren’t usually open for most IT and coding-based jobs. For an MBA or a non-tech, career path, DTU or NSIT will be better as well.
Which is better, Amity Noida or IIT Mandi?
Both Amity University, Noida, and IIT Mandi are highly reputable institutions with their own strengths and weaknesses. Amity Noida is a private university that offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs in fields such as engineering, law, management, and more. It has a strong focus on research and innovation and has a diverse student population.
IIT Mandi is a public university and is one of the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology. It offers undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs in engineering, technology, and sciences. It is known for its strong focus on research and its commitment to sustainability.
Since you are considering Amity University as one of the options, I assume that you have no financial constraints and can afford better private institutions. That being said, I have prepared a list of colleges in their order of preference. Most of these colleges charge half the fees than Amity.
- Private colleges like BITS Goa campus and Thapar University
- If the fee is the constraint, then go for government colleges like Top NITs, DTU, IIIT Allahabad, and IIIT Delhi
- IIT Mandi, Ropar, Hydrabad
- Lower NITs
- VIT, Amity University, SRM, and LMNIIT should be the last preference.
The above preference order is based on the quality of education offered and not the brand name It's exactly why I have placed the new IITs after NITs and Amity at the last.
Ultimately, it depends on what you are looking for in a university and what your specific needs and interests are. If you are looking for a more research-focused institution with a strong focus on technology and sciences, IIT Mandi may be a better fit. If you are looking for a diverse student population, a wide range of programs, and a focus on innovation, Amity University, Noida may be a better fit. It ultimately depends on what you are looking for in a university and what your specific needs and interests are.
Which college has better placements R A Poddar or Mulund College of Commerce?
I have a few friends from Mulund College of Commerce, so I can give some insight into the placement scenario of the institute.
MCC has a good placement record. Many companies visit the campus placements for courses like BAF, BMS, BAM, BBI, B.Com, etc.
Some of the major recruiters that visited the recent placement drive at the institute are Deloitte, Reliance, Asian Paints, Motilal Oswal, ICICI Prudential, etc. Packages offered in the placement drive are also quite good.
In order to select for the personal interview, some companies arrange GD, or aptitude tests.
Which course among PGP at IIM Indore and PGP-ABM at IIM Lucknow should one choose if he/she has an interest in Marketing and Operations?
The simple answer is that the choice of the course depends more or your overall profile than the course itself. Irresponsible of your specialization your chances at placements will be low if your resume is below average. Moreover, institutes like IIM Indore and IIM Lucknow offer joint placements for both programs.
Students can apply to any company irrespective of their specialization. Yet there are many who are able to get into their dream companies while some failed to get a call from a reputed firm. This is because the PGP program just added value to your resume and if that is already poor then even PGP cannot guarantee you a high-paying job.
So if you already have a good resume all you need to do is improve your resume in marketing and operations. This can be done through extra-curricular activities and B-school competitions. For this the PGP-ABM program is perfect.
But if you have a below-average resume, then go for PGP. Because then extracurricular activities alone will not improve your resume. You need class projects and good academic scores to upgrade it. Unlike PGP-ABM, you won’t miss out on basic electives related to marketing/ops/finance.
So nothing is certain about an MBA program. One needs to know what he will be doing after acquiring knowledge to decide which course to take. I will personally suggest you go for IIM Lucknow PGP-ABM if you just want to improve your resume.
