How good is IIM Lucknow as compared to IIM A, B, C, and ISB for Consulting and Network Building?

SZ
Saher Zehra Posted On : January 16th, 2023
Former PhD Candidate at Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (2017–2020)

In India, IIM Lucknow is worth far more than ISB, particularly in MNCs and finance/marketing jobs.

The talk of a consulting and network-building pedigree revolves more around their flagship PGPX program and their tentacles in Microsoft and Cisco, both of which recognize the limited role of an MBA in their industry and provide well-defined jumps to ISB graduates back on campus. In the last 2-3 years, IIM Lucknow has done fairly well in global placements, and the sky is the limit for the right student.

It is clear that your decision should be motivated by your prospects of performance at either campus and should be carefully considered. 

It is true that those who can balance pressures and perform consistently have an advantage when it comes to placements on campus. Also, mobility in the industry should matter without the help of your b-school label and should be about your performance on the job in making friends. Students from each campus meet everyone on an equal footing in the industry.

Only if you accepted a different field in your campus placement or were assigned a backroom job will you face unequal pressure, as neither pedigree allows you much mobility.

Which is better for CS: the NSIT or DTU?

PS
Pranjal Singh Posted On : April 8th, 2022
studied at University of Delhi

If you are looking for a better peer group, location, and placement opportunities, then NSIT CS will be a better option. 

NSIT has a lower student intake. So, the competition is lower for placement and students get the required attention from faculties. For CS, NSIT placements are great. Each year, almost 80% of students get internships. NSIT CSE average package is around INR 12-15 LPA.

What should I choose, DTU engineering physics or Thapar University CS?

SP
Samira Puri Posted On : August 10th, 2021
Studied at Calcutta University (2019)

Having known some people studying in both these institutions, I can say that if you plan to get a job offer, go for CS at Thapar University. If not and are interested in doing research opt for Engineering Physics at DTU.

  • Engineering Physics is a field which does not anymore provide a promising opportunity to its aspirants. 
  • If you go with this choice of branch you might get research opportunities after higher studies. 
  • Moreover, if you have prioritized DTU, keep in mind that the quality of education and academic career is reducing with every passing year. 
  • Few of the many branches at DTU are striving to keep their esteemed position with engineering physics not being one of them.
  • Instead, CS at Thapar University would be an excellent option for building a path for your career. 
  • This branch is known for its exceptional academics and for the opportunities held out to the students. 
  • Although it is a batch of almost 570 students in CS you can certainly end up with a 5LPA and above package by the end of your 4th year.
Categories CS at Thapar University
Course Fee 13.23 lakh
Highest CTC 22 LPA
Average CTC 8 LPA

There are many reputed companies that take part in their placement program and recruit CS graduates. These include Infosys, Wipro, Accenture, Capgemini, Oracle, IBM, ZS Associates, Morgan Stanley and many more.

Which is better for ECE, Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, Techno India Salt Lake Sector V or Haldia Institute of Technology?

DP
Dhriti Pal Posted On : September 21st, 2021
Studied Computer Science at Techno India Salt Lake (2017)

All three colleges, Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, Techno India Salt Lake Sector V, and Haldia Institute of Technology are very popular colleges to pursue ECE. After careful consideration, I would say that Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (DSCE) is the best among the others mentioned.

  • Dayananda Sagar is now an autonomous college and there are a lot of facilities available for the students. 
  • The placement opportunities available are excellent. Many reputed companies visit the campus for interviews. Being located in Bangalore, it has a location advantage. 
  • Industry visits, seminars, and internships are plenty. This can be a very good opportunity to gain some work experience and knowledge. 
Categories ECE at DSCE
Placement Percentage 12 lakh
Highest CTC 10-12 LPA
Average CTC 6 LPA
Recruiting Companies Wipro, TCS, Aditya Birla, Capgemini, etc.

Hence, Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering is a better college than Techno India and HIT as it offers better placements and facilities to the students. Also, as the college is in Bangalore and staying there could be expensive. The living expenses and travel costs are extremely higher than usual. So prepare accordingly.

Which will be a better choice, IIM Nagpur or FMS in Delhi?

S
Sagardeep Posted On : January 9th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

FMS in Delhi is unquestionably a better choice than IIM Nagpur.

FMS is compared to the older IIMs, specifically the top three. That's when there can a confusion as to which one to choose. IIM Nagpur, on the other hand, is a newer IIM, and despite the fact that it is an IIM, the very bright students would go there, and they will undoubtedly have a very good placement record, though we do not yet have enough data to validate this. And FMS is a well-known college, with statistics demonstrating its stellar campus placement record and exceptional alumni base.

In addition, the Return on Investment (ROI) for FMS is higher because their tuition is lower than that of IIMs.
