Which is better: NIT Durgapur Mechanical/Electrical or NIT Calicut Production Engineering in B.Tech?
Mechanical/Electrical Engineering is superior to Production Engineering because Mechanical engineers can apply for jobs in the field of Production, whereas Production engineers cannot apply for core Mechanical jobs.
So, instead of selecting Production, I will recommend Mechanical /Electrical at NIT Durgapur in this case.
Here is a brief outline of NIT Durgapur.
| Average CTC | 9 LPA |
| Highest CTC | 33 LPA |
| Major recruiters | TCS, IEM, Vedanta, TATA IQ, etc. |
| Course fee | 5.56 lakhs |
Choose between Mechanical and Electrical based on your interests.
Hi Sir, is IIM Lucknow a better choice when compared to IIM Kozhikode?
My answer is from the perspective of an FPM aspirant. To draw a fair comparison I have considered the following parameters
Hostel:
The hostel facility at IIM Kozhikode is not very good. The first-year students have no married accommodation while the second or third-year students have very limited married accommodation. Sometimes the FPM students are adjusted with PGP students which is very disturbing.
IIM Lucknow has 2 spectate buildings for FPM students. Also, married accommodations are available from the 1 st year itself.
Food:
There is no active mess committee to pay heed to the complaints regarding substandard food. The menu is usually North Indian and is rarely followed properly. Limited South Indian food is available. Options outside the mess are also limited and not as per the taste of many.
IIM Lucknow has an active mess committee that takes care of the food and cleanliness of the mess. The menu has a variety of options and is changed every month to break the monotony. Famous for its food, there are many options to eat outside in Lucknow.
Academics:
The academics are very rigorous at IIM Kozhikode with tight schedules and deadlines. For FPM students, the minimum passing criteria are B- (2.67/4.33) which is 62% passing criteria. Whereas the minimum criteria to award a Ph.D. degree is at least one publication in “B” (ABDC) category journals.
IIM Lucknow has a relatively less rigorous curriculum than Kozhikode. The minimum passing criteria are 50%. Whereas the minimum criteria to award a Ph.D. degree is at least one publication in “C” (ABDC) category journals.
Apart from these major differences, the infrastructure, faculty, and college life are almost the same. So you can make a good choice now.

MBA business analytics from Chandigarh University OR MBA business analytics from lpu. Which one would be a better choice?
If you are opting to go for Business Analytics, then pursuing it from Chandigarh University will be better.
One of my cousins is a student of Chandigarh University, pursuing Business Analytics, and asserts how great the exposure she has been receiving there. Here is what she has to say about the course.
- Chandigarh University is at present Asia’s fastest developing University and has been recognized with A+ accreditation by NAAC.
- CU offers Business Analytics courses in collaboration with IBM.
- Since it supports industry collaboration programs, you will get to learn about the corporate side along with academics. This way you will get to learn the different things that are important in the industrial world.
- Alongside the course materials, students also take part in various workshops conducted to stay updated with the several advances the industry is stepping into.
- The faculty of Chandigarh University is extremely supportive.

Which is better, FISAT or CUSAT SOE (mechanical)?
CUSAT SOE Mechanical is better than FISAT. It is among the most reputed technological institutes in the region. CUSAT offers excellent facilities and opportunities. The Mechanical department has a brilliant faculty base.
According to CUSAT placements of recent years, the average CTC for Mechanical branch is around INR 5 LPA. Godrej, L&T, Vedanta, etc. are among the core companies that recruit through the campus drive. PSU and IT companies also recruit Mechanical Students.
Which is better, CSE at IIIT Kalyani or electronics in IIIT Guwahati?
IIIT Guwahati is way better than IIIT Kalyani. Many of the students who were formerly enrolled in IIIT Kalyani. They left the college after analyzing the faculty, infrastructure, and hostel facilities.
My brother was in NIT Silchar before being a part of IIIT Guwahati. He went there and found out that many students were from IIIT Kalyani. Everyone has different reasons for leaving Kalyani. However, none of them were praising IIIT Kalyani.
On the other hand, they were pleased to join IIIT Guwahati. Some factors that make IIITG a better institute than IIIT Kalyani:
- Faculty to student ratio is very good
- Great infrastructure
- Good hostel and sports facilities
- Better academic syllabus as they follow their mentor institute IITG and IIITH
- Location of the institute
Hence, you can definitely go for IIITG as an institute rather than joining IIIT Kalyani. As far as the branches are concerned, CSE and ECE are totally different. But, at the end of the day, you have to decide which college you want to join. If you give more preference to the branch, you should join IIIT Kalyani but if you feel like you can slide or change your branch after the first year, you can join IIITG.

XIMB is a better choice in terms of academics, placements, and exposure.
Which is better for a B.Com (hons.) Shaheed Bhagat Singh or Dyal Singh College?
Among the mentioned two colleges, Shaheed Bhagat Singh College (SBSC) will be a better choice for B.Com (Hons.).
- It is well known for its commerce courses.
- It is considered the best commerce college of Delhi University.
- B.Com is really good here with proper academics and placement records.

Which is the best option to pursue an MBA in finance amongst IMI Delhi, IMT Ghaziabad, XIMB and SCMHRD? I am hoping to receive admission from these colleges but I'm really confused.
In my opinion, the best option among the given colleges is SCMHRD’s finance. I am not saying this on my own, but the data reflects the results. Let’s check the final placements for each college in the finance area.
The average package offered in the finance area at IMI Delhi is 17.64 lac per annum for the last batch. For IMT Ghaziabad, this figure is 14 LPA. XIMB is a little better than these colleges, with an average package of 20 LPA, but SCMHRD excels all of these with an average package of 22 LPA and the highest package of 27 LPA.
Which one is better for pursuing an MBA, IIM Sambalpur or XIMB BM?
The main purpose of pursuing an MBA is to elevate your current profile and render you better career opportunities. Doing an MBA just for your resume or because everyone is doing it is not justifiable. And honestly, neither of the two colleges you mentioned has the potential to enhance your employability skills. So I would right away say that both these are not good options.
The reason why IIM Sambalpur is not worth it is mainly because being a new IIM, its tag has little or no brand value. Its overall worth is also very less in comparison to other IIMs. Most importantly, if you were able to get into a new IIM, chances are you can even get into an older, better one with a tad bit more effort and determination. So you can try again next year and join a better one.
The reason why XIMB is not worth it is because of ROI. The high fees compared to mediocre packages that are offered make no sense. You can get similar packages at a tier 2 college with much fewer fees.
Still, if you are under pressure to choose one, definitely go for IIM Sambalpur. The IIM tag might come in handy someday in our country whose corporates still value the tag more than the potential.
